I didn't bring up the politics of mail voting, anyone is free to continue it there.

Oops now that was inappropriate to say :devil:

SH, in the UG can you say things like Bite my A$$ Chino!

"In the case of a society, take the situation of a country suffering war or any other situation of injustice. Try to see that every person involved in the conflict is a victim. See that no person, including all those in warring parties or in what appear to be opposing sides, desires the suffering to continue. See that it is not only one or a few persons who are to blame for the situation. See that the situation is possible because of the clinging to ideologies and to an unjust world economic system which is upheld by every person through ignorance or through lack of resolve to change it. See that two sides in a conflict are not really opposing, but two aspects of the same reality. See that the most essential thing is life and that killing or oppressing one another will not solve anything." - Thich Nhat Hanh

I'm just watching select individuals telling me to not to start conflicts, then the next dozen posts are people trying to start conflicts. It's mildly entertaining, but I was really hoping for something more informative.

And see post 382.

Poor iddle victim.

See, be like Greta and I and just enjoy the chat, that's what it's for.

The topic is mail voting due to Coronavirus, the debate is the possibility of voter fraud vs the reality of voter reduction. If you feel this is too contentious a subject for the thread, it can be reserved for Underground.

It was your idea, make it happen...

RIP Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy, who passed away yesterday from COVID-19. He was 75.

Sorry but I couldn't resist!! :laughing:

Good one Dave. Saved.
I saw one with a certain politician so it would not be appropriate in this thread.

Here's another cute one

One of the Ambassadors/trainers just strolled by with ~eight new hires in tow walking distantly behind him; he came to a stop to talk to somebody and the entire group just naturally all stopped roughly six feet from each other with no one providing direction or saying anything, like watching a spring re-compress. These younger folks are going to be different..

 

[bigburly912]

and the entire group just naturally all stopped..

Nope.

Went through a local Taco Hell for dinner and I gotta say I was impressed with their anti corona spread way. Cash or card. Cash, they had some pre-sanitized "change" ready. Card, they hand you the card scanner out the window and you take it from there. I used a card. They ask if you'd like a receipt. "No thanks" I said. Then they hand your stuff to you on a tray and you remove it from said tray.

Not 100% fool proof but definitely the best attempt at stopping the spread I've seen at a fast food joint yet.

Went by a Target store for a mothers day gift and it was like 5x more packed than at Christmas. The crowd was about 50/50 masked. Voluntary. Long check out lines and folks were plenty spread out without "stand here" dots or lines on the floor. We found no line at the electronic counter and checked out there.

It was good to see so many folks voluntarily attempting to slow the spread, yet keep living life as normal as practical.

Chik-Fil-A has the drive-through thing down and has a similar playbook for going on two months.

Indeed. It ain’t rocket surgery. If you want to talk about how your voting experience has changed during the pandemic, that is on topic. But this party versus that party, that is Underground material. That should be pretty self-explanatory.
