I have one goal for 2020 and that's to spend more weekends doing stuff than inside playing video games and drinking. Next weekend I'm picking up my first rifle and taking it to go put metal bits through paper and then I have a date with a nice lady (this ones not even married and could be considered age appropriate).

I also have a workout goal, last year was to add size and I managed to increase my deadlift, bench, OHP and backsquat but a whole lot. This year I'm starting off the first 3 months with a power building program. I'm also going to more seriously start thinking about my career because I'm 32 and should probably stop doing something I hate just because it pays the bills before I'm 50 and living out MattRyan.txt.

Did you actually watch those movies? The Purge was a plan from the rich elites in order to cull the population of the poor.

COVID has basically been our version of it.

I watched like half the 2nd one and I was kinda not sober.

I'm honestly curious how the NFL is gonna address this on Saturday. Because they almost have to, but it's completely ridiculous that they will.

I would think they'll just play the anthem with players in the tunnel and just get on with it tbh.

Speaking of Rona we had 1 caught by a cleaner working at a quarantine hotel.

Whole city is going into 3 day lockdown. Mandatory masks outside the home from 6pm today.

Im kinda torn. I had a huge weekend planned including a date and picking up my rifle and fishing and seeing family. Now I get to stay home alone. But at least if theres more cases out there we can stop the infection almost immediately.

man the reaction in Australia is really something to see. It still feels weird to see friends in Sydney or Melbourne without masks on doing...normal...things, or to hear about life as usual there, or see sports filled up with spectators. and I know it's been different depending on states, but they've taken it as seriously as I'd hoped the U.S. would have.

meanwhile there's a new state of emergency for Tokyo and the surrounding area that means people should work from home, restaurants should close by 8 pm, and events will be restricted in capacity and until 8 pm. This as Tokyo shot over 2,400 new cases (with a ridiculously high positive rate from tests) and Japan over 7,000 for the first time.

and waking up to an attempted autogolpe yesterday was certainly a hell of a thing.

I'm in Brisbane so I have literally never had to wear a mask through this whole thing and things were almost normalish from around August.

Apparently this is a specific plan for the UK strain of Covid - which apparently is highly contagious. The plan was put in place at the federal level and agreed to by all states and territories.

If its detected anywhere theres an immediate lockdown for 3 days with mandatory mask usage and see where we're at 3 days later.

Im happy the response is mostly positive as in "let's beat this poo poo" with a few lone nutters whinging about govt control but the general response all over social media seems to be "shut up oval office".

Like, it doesn't matter what the health standards are at a corporate level. If you get hepatitis from fast food it means a minimum wage worker didn't wash their hands properly after taking a poo poo.

True, but there's always failures in a system. When I spent time in South East Asia if I was flying the next day I chose McDonalds over street food cause I didn't want to explode from my rear end on the flight home. It was wise. When we hit turbulence coming back my friend with bubble guts was weighing up making GBS threads himself or running to the toilets while the plan was moving pretty violently. I just listened to Metallica on my ipod and poo poo myself figuratively with my guts comfortably not churning.

I finally re-watched Tenet with subtitles and I still didn’t know what the gently caress was going on the majority of the time. If the premise of your action movie renders all of the set pieces incoherent, it’s a bad premise, I’m sorry Chris.

Its both the dumbest story and best visual work of Christopher Nolan.

If we're honest with ourselves despite Bane being better than then the joker (fight me irl), the 3rd batman movie was pretty retarded from the opening and didn't get better.

Fun as gently caress, but stupid as poo poo.

Nolan peaked with his ww2 movie.

Don't actually know what a clip is, but I'm pretty sure I can google some words in the post below this to figure it out.
Double edit quote is not edit.

A clip is usually used to load rounds into a weapon.

Think ww2 movies. Where the dudes using the m1 garand (long rifle that goes PING! When empty) and they push a little brick of bullets held with a strip of metal in the top. That's a clip.

When the dude in apocalypse now taps the ammo on his head and in its in the box and inserts it in the bottom thats a magazine.

How is your state doing in terms of Covid? I'm super jealous of being able to reliably go to gym and just, IDK, use a treadmill and poo poo

poo poo, I'd settle for a haircut, my last one was mid-november

0 community transmission at the moment. 23 active cases but they're all in hotel quarantine.

Our whole country has had 0 acquired cases in the last 24 hours and just 8 over the last week. All contact traced and isolated.

We had a scare two weeks ago when a hotel cleaner picked up the UK strain but she isolated and got tested as soon as she felt sick. So two weeks we all wore masks etc but restrictions have almost all been lifted. We just have to sign in when we go places for tracking purposes.
