    Test came back negative. Else I wouldn't be out of isolation.

    No way to know if I had it or not; the test isn't 100% sensitive.

    I'm doing okay. Most of the time. Seeing my dad's pre-order info on his Steam profile for Cyberpunk 2077 and remembering how hype he was for it the other day almost killed me, but most of the time I'm okay.

    I'm sorry man I lost my dad a long time ago and it was hard seeing things that reminded me of him. But eventually it got better and then I just enjoyed the reminders. You should when your up to it play that game for your dad.

    No way. Dad was fucking demented when it came to video games. Vidya is where he went to act like an ultraviolent asshole.

    You haven't seen disturbing until you've seen a 70+ year old man giggling while playing with the Yandere Simulator.

    There's apparently a major outbreak in my town. Hundreds of cases and some people from work were forced into quarantine. Fun times all around.

    I just read,that when churches in western Europe are still mostly closed, mosques are not, people there do not care about any covid rules - and ....nothing happened.
    Nobody try close them, and muslims do not started mass dying.
    There are two possibilities :
    1.Islam cover from C19
    2.C19 is just worst common flu.

    Based on prior behaviour, I am upgrading ATP's threadban to one month. Let it be said for the final time:

    No. Conspiracy. Theories.

    Random fearmongering such as he posted with zero substantiation will be taken as such. The next offender will be permanently removed from this thread. There will be no more warnings.

    Well, a certain very important political figure here in the United States has been diagnosed with COVID as of last night, as has their spouse. Is it bad for me to say "serves them right" for how poorly they handled the outbreak, amongst other things? Or is that running afoul of Rule 8?

    Eh, probably does fall afoul. Don’t know if it’s bad for you to personally say, but you’d be one voice in a massive chorus.

    Watched part-way, seems really political in how it mis-represents things.

    For example, shopping is not like that in real-life NYC -- unfortunately you still need money.

    Got annoyed with increased restrictions here in Poland, about a virus that's just about as deadly as the fucking flu of all things.

    If you don't wear a mask in public here now, you risk getting a big fine.

    So, I bought a gas mask and started wearing it everywhere.

    So help me God, if I'm forced to wear a mask like an idiot, I'm going to wear it like the biggest goddamn idiot around.
