  • Those little arrows in grocery store aisles

      They took them out of my local grocery stores awhile ago. I guess not enough people were paying attention to them to make a difference!

          That would make sense, but the mask mandate in my county came at around the same time the arrows disappeared, or maybe even a little after, which I find odd.

            If everyone is wearing a mask no need for the social distancing. That was the point of social distancing, for those without a mask. Then they made masks mandatory and now social distancing is optional.

              Yeah, the weird part is that in another area some of my family lives in, they have both the arrows and masks (but seem to be much more uptight on regulations there as well).

        Funny because some did look me up. I wondered why they were only able to find me based on only my first name, but then later discovered that my first name isn't really a common one in my neck of the woods. XD

            i go on the roof once a year to clean the chimney but my house has no gutters

            the transition from ladder to roof is a bit sketchy since its at full extension just barely on the roof and the pitch runs sideways across the ladder

            i sure as fuck do that sober its 25 feet down

  • JellyBeanBandit

    I think most laws are fair enough, they're not put in place cos the lawmakers hate us having fun, they're there because breaking them would be detrimental to other people or society. So I think it's just immature to break those rules.

    That said, there are some laws that are immature too. Laws forbidding us from having sex in exchange for money is ridiculous. They're our bodies and it's our money, that law is based solely on prudishness. The same with cannabis, there's no good reason why it should be illegal. And there's no doubt either that the main reason these things aren't being legalised is because it's not the norm, if every other country started legalising them then this country would do the same out of peer pressure. It's pathetic.

    I speed in my car and on my bike. I lane split, don't always come to a complete stop. I fish without a license, I build without a permit. I water my lawn and wash my car not on Tuesdays. I smoke weed, I bring my dog and alcohol to the beach. I am sure there are more.

    Mask policy. I keep a mask in my back pocket. I dont follow them until someone makes a fuss about it. Then boom mask on. I would say it's a 5% chance someone (usually Karen's) makes a big sad about it.

        There's an unwritten rule that you should wait at least half hour after eating to go swimming in order to avoid cramping up and drowning. In the US there are tags on new mattresses that read "Do not remove tags under penalty of law."

        If I'm feeling especially crazy I'll eat the tags off mattresses and jump right in the lake. Weeeeee!

    Age ratings in movies. I photoshopped my ID to 18 when I was younger, not for alcohol or anything like that just for movies. Sometimes the stupidest things get the m18 mark.

    Some of the music I like isn't available for legal purchase anymore. Secondhand copies can go for hundreds of dollars sometimes, and the cheaper ones may be in a state that's fragile by now (like heavily played cassettes). In these very specific circumstances I don't feel all too guilty about getting them through other means.

    Speed limits (For me those are rough guidelines), the stupid arrows in supermarkets in corona times, wearing my mask over my nose. I know, I know... I look like a POS who doesn't care about the world and is responsible for so many deaths, but let me ask you this...

    So... you need proper gear, eye protection and a mask with an active filter (good ones cost about 100 bucks) to paint a car, or work with asbestos, you need full military gear and a gas mask to work with bio weapons. But for the "Worst and deadliest virus in human history" all we need is a surgical mask, or a scarf and lots of disinfectants (That cost between 10 and 30 bucks)?! Screw that!

      You have a point. But (as someone with a little expertise in this), the mask does help *significantly*. Of course, as you pointed out, it seems flimsy and dumb. It's obviously impractical to ask everyone to wear a biohazard mask, etc. But the mask is much, much better than nothing.

        I have too, and we always used a wet process to strip and wax the old asbestos VCT floors.

        My understanding is that asbestos (as well as lead paint) is really only dangerous if it's disturbed.
