Man gently caress this stupid country. A friend of mine was asked to resign her job because she wouldn't go into their office on a daily basis until she and her family who are immunocompromised received the vaccine.

I like how we’ve vaccinated <10% of our population and every government shithead is just ready to slam the doors wide open.

No idea! A major reason why they want her to go in is to handle their mail (even though she's HR), so she said she would pop in a couple times a week on off hours, but nope!

I haven't met or seen a single tradesman wearing a mask since all this started. My buddy works for a small (10ish employees) welding and fab shop, he's the only one that wears a mask.

Hes also the only one to not get covid.

Just made breakfast on my camp griddle (2 burner propane stove with a cast iron griddle that just lays on 1 burner) and somehow, in 30mph wind gusts, managed to perfectly fry 2 eggs over easy. Didn't even break a yolk!

I'm surprised the company policy wouldn't be to show up with a mask and wear it unless the homeowner indicates otherwise, but maybe location affects that a bit. We've had things delivered from Best Buy and Menards in the last couple of months. The delivery drivers all had masks on getting out of their trucks and the entire time I interacted with them, which was 100% outside.

e: Yeah also this

Two guys from the painting crew working on our building remodel at work walked into the bathroom while I was in there, and on my way out I saw they both had masks protecting their just their chins.

I will say that Marvel has absolutely perfected the recipe for making super hero movies that can appeal to mass audiences, including kids. I’m not sure what the last movie DC made that could’ve been enjoyable for kids (or adults for that matter).

Off the top of my head, Shazam!, Aquaman, and the Wonder Woman movies. Now we can debate if they're good but I think we can agree they're more aimed for an all-ages audience.

The couple times I've had repair folks to my house this last year they've all worn masks & PPE. They also all had waivers regarding COVID-19 with requests that I too wear a mask in my own home while they were there (which I did).

Hell yeah camp stove eggs rule. I'm a big fan of boiling cubed potatoes the night before then frying them up the next morning when they got all nice & cold. Somehow that makes the best home fries.

Shazam I have not watched, but yea I could see that being for kids. Aquaman and WW I found so boring that I don't know how any kids could have enjoyed them. They mostly seemed void of any kind of humor.

Yeah, they required our team to return to the office every other week back in June which is loving dumb on its own right, but they allowed exception requests to be submitted and granted my case no problem. I have to submit a written extension request every month and a half or so. Yesterday morning I sent an email to all of my supervisors basically saying “partner is now on home hospice and I’m gonna need to request to remain at home indefinitely” and I haven’t heard a peep from any of them so now I’m just anxious and waiting for the “lol get hosed turn in your laptop by the end of the day” email.

My best friend works in a weld shop and everyone was required to wear masks per our state’s mandate. Until everyone on the shop floor found out everyone in the office never even started wearing masks and were like uhh what the gently caress, if they’re not then we’re not. Instead of management going “What the gently caress office people, wear your masks” they went “Huh good point, carry on” and now my friend has basically been the only guy in the building wearing a mask for the last six months. Him and his wife just had their first child back in May so he’s none too happy about all of it, but he has managed to not get Covid yet to his knowledge thankfully.

As far as I understand it, Diablo 2 remaster is just a 3d renderer running ontop of the original game code so, shouldn't need much in terms of PC power to run the game.

Valheim recommended specs suggest a GTX 970 so anything from the last 6 years or so?

If you're looking to build, the video card is going to be the bottleneck right now. Quarantine shortages of supplies combined with them being used to mine crypto means people are selling 5 year old cards for prices above what they were new. That being said, if you're patient and flexible, you can probably find a deal on something in the 900 or 1000 series for a reasonable price.

He didn't grow up evil, he's evil by nature. He actually grows up in a loving home but when he comes into contact with his spaceship it tells him to be evil and he does without question including murdering his uncle, breaking a girl's hand for not liking him after he breaks into her room to watch her sleep and murdering her mom

I didn't mean to be pedantic for no reason, it's actually a problem I have with the movie. Grows up in a normal home with loving parents who have occasional normal problems/arguments, instantly becomes evil and murderous the second he finds out he has powers and is told by his spaceship to do so. Kind of dumb

Well, I'm sure we all know some people who were raised in homes with good and loving parents that turned out to be pure assholes. They just didn't have superpowers. Maybe those same assholes would be killer assholes if they had Superman's powers, but who knows.
