It’s incredible to me how many people are baffled by the idea of shopping using pickup or delivery. If you need a wrench you should have a general idea of what kind of wrench and order or request it without having to go in a store and rub your face on every wrench first.

shoulda ordered it during the wiha 50% off sale imo lmao

The entire point of Lord of the Flies is that they'd imported the specific brutalities of their society without the adult veneer of decorum?

its Hobbesian, saying that humans devolve into cruelty without institutions.

awesome story. really shows that the cruelty of society isn't inherent in individuals, but created by systems foisted on it by those who seek to exploit it.

I thought the moral is that the kids were rehashing the savagery of the world wars and colonialism when left to their own devices, bc they were from a horrible and deeply broken society that only thought itself civilized

White House aides have not been seen wearing masks. While sources say there may be more mask-wearing by aides, it will not be a requirement.

Secret Service agents close to the president and in the vicinity of the Oval Office will also begin wearing masks, one senior administration official said.

White house is considering starting to make staff wear masks.

Pet stores are essential the same as hardware stores. People just are incapable of not being dumbfucks and actually limiting themselves to essential trips, and instead just go browse with the whole family, increasing risks for themselves, the employees, and the people who actually need to be there to get pet food and poo poo.

I've been delaying pulling the trigger on my curbside order for Lowe's for weeks because it's the only one I'm gonna do for a couple of months and I don't want to forget something!

We've gotten some dumb substitutions on our Walmart curbside pickups (sage isn't a substitute for oregano wtf) and some fresh fruit or vegetables we probably wouldn't have picked. I'd prefer for things to be back to normal but they aren't and won't be so I'll deal with these minor inconveniences.

Unfortunately there are a lot of dumb babies out there that can't, so BACK TO WORK

More on PA governor response to counties going against state guidelines


quote:

"To those politicians who decide to cave in to this coronavirus, they need to understand the consequences of their cowardly act," said Wolf, threatening to withhold state and federal funding to counties "that put us all at risk by operating illegally."

Wolf also warned businesses that choose to "follow the whims of local politicians and ignore the law" by reopening in defiance of the shutdown that they risk businesses licenses, certificates of occupancy and other required governmental approvals to operate.
