    At menards some crabby sue was grinchinf about how she can't breathe while wearing a mask when told she can't go in the store without one.

    If she "can't breathe" because of a mask - I can't imagine how poor her breathing will be if she catches the virus.

    People are such princesses

    And you'd think Matt's coworkers would care like...even a little?! Nope, Matt had to go into work once in the past month and then immediately found out that someone got sent home who lied about being exposed and wasn't wearing a company provided mask...they just pushed his complete return date back another month because we apparently can't trust adults. :emoji_no_good: My friend, with the fiance in the hospital going thru chemo, got told by her supervisor at another big aero company (where she works on a freaking defense project) to stop being uptight about her coworkers not wearing masks and whatnot. Like, HOLY FRICKEN SHIT, her fiance has no immune system and she can't see him if some asshat sneezes on her. I feel awful for the both of them.

    To be fair, some days I feel like I've gone insane when I do read the text.

    I have an "I don't give a crap" story too. A friend organized a drive-by birthday parade for their grandpa. After the drive-by, everyone parked and got out to have cupcakes in their front yard and take pictures. It was basically just a covid-themed birthday party, instead of actual covid caution. :emoji_face_palm:

    Thankfully my company has been good about keeping immuno-compromised and people with child care issues 100% home.

    Think of all the money you're saving on day care expenses!

    I'm proud that you think it's the absence of context that makes it look like I've gone insane, and not my actual brain.

    That's the worst, "Well I can't wear a mask because I have a medical condition"... pretty sure you're the exact person that shouldn't be going outside then. . . ?

    Apparently sanity is priceless though. I’d pay every last penny I had for my kid to go to school for a day

    Nah, daycare is actually open as of a couple weeks ago. Our local community transmission rate is low enough where the benefits of our pre-K kid actually going to school and learning outweigh the potential exposure risks (our daycare is being super careful with guidelines too)

    How bad are your lungs that you can't fucking breathe with a mask on? I don't even fucking notice it.
    I'm fucking dying and have to somehow explain this to my husband who is looking at me kinda funny now lmfao

    That's why the bot's company has him at home and not back at work like some of them are, my janky ass lungs:emoji_sweat_smile: he had to go in for like a half day to get some measurements and then skidaddled as fast as he could.

    So, at least there's that!

    Of course, this means I also have to share the house 24/7, so...:emoji_laughing:

    He just gets more food snuck to him that way.

    The bot keeps telling me things like, "I gave :bearnie: some chicken, he was hungry! did you feed him?!"
