I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

I keep thinking about how we have all these delivery apps - like you have the tech for coordinating an actual lockdown right there. People can place orders for the groceries they need, the medicine they need from their homes and find someone local to deliver it. You couldn't ask for a better system to be in place already if you had to keep people at home for a month.

"Hey, we're gonna test these drivers for covid regularly and get them PPE and give them government healthcare bennies for life and they'll make $50/hr. They're gonna be our lifeline to everyone that's sheltering in place over the next month."

But no, sorry - we can't do that. It's not for doing that. It's for getting people Taco Bell within 30 minutes, so we can't use it to do something other than that. It's just not what it's for.

Would you be a driver?

I do the morally righteous thing and just have doordash deliver my kitkats to my door instead of going out side and spreading the death plague. It’s just that easy.


If you don’t want to do the moral thing that’s on you, but I’m going to keep ordering my daily kitkats (they’re fresher that way).

You should never tip. People who receive tips never better themselves or strive for better jobs or position in society.

Is that the nonstop sound of Felix vaping in the latest Chapo?

Chris mentions it being like "old school chapo" due to them somehow all recording through the same mic, but the low audio quality never bothered me. Constant heavy breathing sounds, on the other hand, are considerably more annoying.

Edit: The funny thing about the part where they comment on COVID stuff is that they aren't exactly wrong about the state of things, but they're ranting about other people being upset when they're obviously very upset themselves that there's some sort of barrier to going out and having fun (or at least that they can't freely do it without people commenting or even just feeling self-conscious about masks).

It's an example of how, when your life is too good, you feel it more when anything infringes on that. The vast majority of adults don't really go to large events or traveling often and mostly just do social stuff with small groups, so it's not a big deal. But when you're constantly doing fun and exciting things and suddenly it's more difficult (or even just has some mild level of awkwardness in the form of other people wearing masks), it bothers you more. I can empathize with it, but don't feel any sympathy.

I tried doing cardio briefly in a mask back before we knew covid 1.0 was fairly harmless outside and 45 minutes of rapid breathing inside one of them just soaked it through, if that's what it takes to go to the gym I'd rather just not go

Assemble a very large and expensive elliptical that takes up 1/3 of your bedroom like I did a little over a month ago.

Edit: oh, you're lucky enough to be able to do outside cardio. I start to suffocate due to allergies if I do that.

Yeah I caught this too. Like you said it was interesting. I remember Max poo poo talking Chapo way back right around the end of the Bernie campaign and I wonder if there’s bad blood or what

Also yeah Covid just snapped Blumenthal’s brain in half and I don’t know if he’ll ever get it working again. Many such cases really

idk, the chapos just sounded like they were discussing the discourse around individual covid virtue.

the covid thread is mostly lollin and lmaoing at the numbers, lack of state action (or comparing NPIs by different countries), and sharing mask/ventilation advice.
