Just doing my part. Staying at home, and being responsible.

If it makes you feel better I’m a bit chunky and don’t go to the beach. I also dislike people so social distancing is t an issue for me. I’ve spent so much time at home my Xbox is starting to wear out

I know they make Bookers which is always what I go for instead of Bakers. Similar?

Booker’s is better. I used to get it at Costco for $50 but it’s $90 now

Just bought my son an XBox. I think it's actually good for him. He's in his room right now chatting it up, and playing games with his friends.

And you as a tax payer who has worked for I imagine many decades you should be taken care of during all of this.  I’m not saying it’s not suffering.  I’d hope that you know that. My intention is not to dismiss hardship at all.  I’m saying that you should be protected both from getting sick and from financial ruin.  It shouldn’t be one or the other.  This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.  Look I get that we may fundamentally disagree on that point.  But that’s my position on it.  Which is nothing new.  I honestly do wish you and everyone else here well during all of this.  Which is another thing you hopefully know without me saying it.

Why not shut down PF Chang’s every year for flu season then?  No worker should risk getting the kung flu but it’s acceptable as a society to risk them catching the flu and other types of coronavirsues. It’s flawed logic. 
 

And seriously...stay inside until this passes? So like next year best case scenario when there is possibly a vaccine?  Or possibly forever since nobody knows if a vaccine is possible? Staying inside is not a solution. 

Goddamnit.  Because it’s not the flu.   No matter how many fucking quack conspiracy site or people you listen to.  That’s not the case.  This whole point is fucking dumb.  60K dead in 2 months man.  Where do you think this is going by the end of year.  Come on. Jesus.

Damn, that is insane. I remember the $50-60 price point, but $90?

So the solution is to hide inside forever? 

Obviously not.  Nobody is hiding inside now.  Ridiculous hyperbole.

Yeah, obviously they have way more in home entertainment options than we did as kids, but I'm sure he was getting bored of talking to Dad, mom, and grandma all the time. He's been having a great time talking with his friends.

Side note, I love that the 'fuck to post ratio' goes up exponentially here starting around 6-7pm.

The alcohol starts kicking in and the f bombs drop. I love you guys.

I did drink a bit with dinner.  Did that make a difference?  I don’t know.

In my defense, I throw the word fuck around any time of day. I was the one that asked Chuckles to have it stop being switched to The Fark, or whatever the fuck the board was changed it to.

I owe you a beer...I hated that.

I, too, like to throw around fuck more than Bill Burr and Joey Diaz.

Bought a couple bottles of “meh” at Costco last time I was there. Whatever.

I never really got into scotch, but I like the Johnnie Walker line up.

Finish that bottle and tell us your thoughts on global warming, my dude.

It isn’t so much about the money, it is watching my wife do her three jobs and know that I am not contributing.  It’s about feeling useful.

and I didn’t take your post personally.

There's actually a list of movies that use the word "fuck" the most. The Wolf Of Wall Street came in 3rd.

Sucks man, but know it's not your fault, and I'm sure your wife knows that. I get it as a man, we are supposed to be the bread winners. You'll be back soon.

Alpha Dog has been popping up a bunch on Netflix and I haven't watched it in 15 years. Harsh Times was good when Christian Bale played a pseudo ese. Made was an underrated Jon Faverau flick.

Made kind of got forgotten because it was his follow up to his debut sleeper hit Swingers. Dude is doing very well for himself now though. Whether you like the Marvel movies or not, his directing Iron Man, and standing by his choice of Robert Downey Jr for the role kicked started a multi billion dollar movie franchise.

Yeah, I never watched the movies, but remember he did a role in Entourage and that's when I learned he did the Iron Man movies. An absolute behemoth of a franchise.

I liked him in that indie flick with the food truck. But man, did he let himself go. Seeing Swingers and then the food truck movie or any interview with him in the past 10 years....yikes.

His weight has fluctuated a lot through the years. Remember he was Rudy's fat friend in Rudy. He was pretty jacked in Swingers, and his short stint on Friends. He's a little older now, and a lot more wealthy, so he has been on the hefty side for awhile now.
