Much too clean to be an American homeless person. Do you have a link to the
accompanying article?

In China and/or Korea. I don't remember the details but I remember
hearing about it. I don't know if this requires for the virus to
mutate first.

No reinfections in Korea. False positives. Dead virus, not infectious.
Nobody knows what is going on, or has gone on, in China.

That picture is too questionable. Aside from your points, Cindy, this
was an obviously staged photo.
 
This is an empty street. With a guy with a dog and a rifle on his back.
Don't know what the guy was doing but he's not homeless. He's just a
guy with a rather big but friendly looking dog on a chain neeling on a curb.
 
Actual homeless people in the US tend to set up camps and tents and tend
to congregate. They form support systems. They don't squat down on an
empty street with a dog and a rifle on their back waiting for a photo
op. BTW, there's no backpack, bag or anything else for that guy to be
carrying food or anything else in.
 
Note to Bruce: most actual homeless people have some bags or a basket or
a backpack to carry what few things they own. This guy didn't have
anytyhing. He couldn't possibly have been carrying amunition for that
rifle in the pockets of his tight shorts. Bzzzt! It was a staged
picture. Try again.
 
Or hey, just come visit the US, all the states, and find out how wrong
you are about this gun totin country. It would take a very long time
for you to go through every state and I'd expect you to drive around and
meet the people. You'd find a lovely number of farms and hey, lots of
vegetables in the restaurants across the many states. Except you'd
rather just disparage the US and pretend we're all ready to shoot each
other. Idiot.

Hey, I provided just as much proof as anyone else. And everyone can do

You may have heard wrong. After all, it's likely your ears were

Yes. I guess we can just wait and time will tell. And if it only
happens in 100,000 cases, it's not really relevant anyway.

I wasn't all that serious. I just found that picture and posted it.
Who knows what it is.

I wonder who is dumber. The celebrity antivaxxers or the people that
take their word over a medical scientist.
 
Idiots also blame 5G cell towers for the Corona virus. Dumb as that
sounds, some people are selling USB sticks that give an Aura to prevent
damage from 5G and you can get one for only $350.
 
As long as we're at it, the contrails you sometimes see from jet planes?
They are chemicals the government is spreading so they can control

>> I like bold flavors (pepperoni, chiles, fish sauce, wasabi,

>Well, it was the cheapest wedge they had.
 
It's been my experience that when people say they grated a "wedge" but
never show the "wedge" the truth is they dumped some sawdust from the
green can... especially when they are talking "cheapest".
Most Italian restaurants and most pizza parlors that keep a
bowl/shaker of grated cheese on the table refill it from the green
can, only they buy that sawdust in bulk.
We don't use much grated chese... occasionally I'll buy a small wedge
and grate it myself as needed, I have a small ss grater for that
purpose, but mostly we buy store brand grated parm from their deli,
not nearly as good as the pricy cheese we grate ourselves but a
thousand times better than the sawdust in the green can that Gary
uses. Tops sells their store brand grated cheese at their deli or
they will grate any wedge you pick. Like I said we don't use much
grated cheese, mostly we'll hand grate some onto a garden salad. For
most people's pasta dishes green can sawdust is plenty good for their
jarred sauce. There's abslutely no reason to grate pricy cheese with
jarred sauce. I draw the line at jarred sauce, never buy it...
homemade sauce is easy and a zillion times better than jarred. When
I'm in the mood I'll fill my 16 qt pot, starts with sauteing a couple
three pounds of inexpensive shoulder pork chops on sale until tender
enough to pull out the bones. Onions/garlic to suit, 'talian herbs,
EVOO, some dago red. It's ready when it's time for bocce and your
guinea stinker cee gar... yes I used to smoke those shriveled black
stogies. The 14,15 year old Italian girls would fulfill my wildest
dreams from the aroma of guinea stinkers and a charlotte russe... the
Jewish gals would do almost anything after a date at the Claridge
theater and a hunk of halavah... not anything but whatever I wanted to
do with their young opulent bosoms. Back then the young gals knew to
keep their legs closed... everything above their waist was free range.
Often their moms tended to their daughter's boyfriends.

While you are out, does it ever occur to you to stop in at another grocery
store within a reasonable distance? You might be surprised at what they
have in stock.
 
I was in Walmart yesterday and picked up a 12-pack of their house brand of
Charmin Soft. I didn't need it as I'd also picked up a 12-pack this past
Friday of Kroger's house brand of Charmin Soft. I haven't needed any of
these packages I've been buying but I have the storage space so why not?
 
I was not caught in the last THERE'S NO TOILET PAPER TO FOUND ANYWHERE
and I plan on not being caught if we have a second wave of Covid-19.

Same here. Digital's much handier. Same with books. I only read
digital books. They don't take up room after I've finished them. And
they're quick to buy online. I don't have to wait for delivery of a
piece of dead tree.

Yup, both true...and some of us grew up at a time when "hi - fi" was a big thing, that pretty much no longer exists, AFAIK now it is generally integrated with high - end video display systems...

Ah, and here, y'all, is a *perfect* example of Princess Jill's "white privilege"...or mayhaps we should bestow upon her the moniker of "Princess KAREN"*...what say you...???
 
Maybe she hasn't heard -- Jill living in a plush gated community (AND in a house she didn't PAY FOR, lol...!!!) -- but unemployment is running at least 25%...40+ MILLION unemployed...'course how many decades has it been since Jill actually "worked" for her living....IMWTK...!!!
 
Just so you know, many of those "poor people" were until very recently hard - working and with good jobs, then the economy collapsed and they've lost their income...MANY of them might even have had - GASP! - Amazon Prime. Now they qualify for SNAP benefits, and thus qualify for the lower - cost membership. For "poor people", Amazon Prime might be a useful alternative for shopping, they can save on gas and vehicle wear - and - tear, and in many cases it might be safer/more secure to have things delivered...and Amazon more often than not has the best prices on goods, nothing wrong with saving money...but then Daddy and Mummy left her a LOTTA dough, so she worries not about "budgeting"...she would never have to soil herself by getting the Amazon Prime "poor people" rate of an astounding $5.99 per month...
 
Anyways, Princess Jill/Karen* better not hope that "The Revolution" comes, as she will be one of the first bourgeois "useless eaters" to be stood up against a wall and quickly dispatched...NO one will miss her nattering and nagging uselessness...and her Dear Lil' Buffy will be used for snapping turtle bait, lol...
 
*https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/karen/
 
"WHAT DOES KAREN MEAN?
 
Karen is a mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious, middle-aged white woman. Especially as featured in memes, Karen is generally stereotyped as having a blonde bob haircut, asking to speak to retail and restaurant managers to voice complaints or make demands, and being a nagging, often divorced mother from Generation X..."

It's not green bean casserole but there was something my mother wanted
me to try shortly after they moved to South Carolina. I was visiting.
She called it "creamers and beans". It was basically small red potatoes
boiled with some variety of fresh green beans, only about 6 inches long.
We washed and snapped them in half. Potatoes and beans cooked
together in boiling water, then drained and tossed back into the pan
with a simple white sauce. I gather it was some sort of local dish.
I've never tasted anything so bland in my life.
 
But hey, the beans weren't cooked to mush and they weren't squeaky,
either. ;)
