Random Thoughts XIX

[eddieheatfan]

Finally watched Luke Cage with the extra daylight hrs I've been shedding, watched Iron Fist too, just to get a gist of the grift that Netflix was trying to sell with their Marvel series(s)-

-At first, I was thinking hell nawh, I can't get with this script; the producers are obviously trying to con their audience, especially with the old black tropes. The black paternalism bits, the prose of the barbershop, the framing of the innocent, and the harem of the Wire cast members which was egregious from Episode 1(RIP Reg E. Cathey).

- Kept watching tho, and they earned their keep. Producers were trying to con their audience instead of gaining their trust, but they put together a formidible show with a good group of writers. Soundtrack was too damn fye too. They tried to bring back the ilk of black artists playing live on black TV shows, and although this could be looked at as a con, they played it well(RIP Charles Bradley).

-Politics angle gave them some versatility and made the show great, Alfre Woodard made the show in a lot of ways- her performance was otherworldly.

- Don't know babies real name, but ol' girl they call Nandi-- Oof. That scene when they had her walking out in handcuffs, lod hav merci

Great show, season 3 not happening is a tragedy

marco polo was a better show than these two,check it out,the actors are amazing and the scenography was breathtaking as well.go watch it if you like

I'm just not a day person, I can get work done in the morning and at night, but being in the confines of my home during the day is a laborious task all on its own. How tha phuck am I supposed to get work done with so much going on during the day, tchuirps. And I keep getting the urge to buy stupid things too, haven't made any dumb purchases, but just urges. I want some Chuck Taylors, I think.

Feels like more ppl have been watching me run since the Ahmaud Arbery murder, pushed my running hrs just a few hrs closer to sunlight cause I rather be a precautious biatch

I'm a victim of the covid-related online shopping addiction bish. I just don't have anything else to do these days. My recent purchases include lemongrass seeds, milk tea packets, and shadow boxing resistance bands. WTF I don't even box bish

I'm glad that they finally arrested Ahmaud’s murder suspects. The news enraged me, and it got me buying the shadow boxing resistance bands. I hope they can bring justice for him and his family.

I want to get into harvesting some seeds but not ready to get my feet wet just yet. Seriously thought about getting some seeds in the past few months. Trying to limit myself to more purposeful purchases in these times of need, film camera and new art supplies have bn calling me from afar tho

Everywhere I go people wear masks. Is this how it’s gonna be in the years ahead, even after COVID goes away?

Yes.

Doesn't Japan, and among other asian countries wear masks routinely anyway? Just so you can spot out people with a cold/flu etc.. It'll just be in the norm in the west now.

I doubt it. It's very uncomfortable to wear a mask correctly from my personal experience. I keep touching it repositioning it and making it basically useless. I think people will be more aware of how germs spread. If you shake someone's hands, then proceed to eat your taco with that hand, you will most likely get some kind of 5 trillion germs that are on humans. I will keep washing my hands, sanitize them if I don't have access to water before touching my face, that sort of thing we can keep doing and will help us stay healthier long term. Maybe doctors will make less money after COVID goes away.

I think my average hand washing time has gone down from 15 seconds to 6-7 seconds since the peak shutdown days though. My hands got so dry and why am I washing my hands 25 times a day when I didn't even go outside Lifer?

Many Japanese people wear masks because a lot of them suffer from bad allergies. And we care about others well-being more I suppose. With that said, very few Japanese wear masks correctly. And they're in the smack middle of national lockdown now smh

I'd say 85% of people here in North America wear masks in one of the following ways. And they take them out to talk, eat, do whatever and put them back on. ALL WRONG if you think logically about how they are supposed to be keeping viruses away from your nose and mouth.

I washed my hands more than “normal” before COVID and now I wash my hands less than “normal” after COVID, despite washing my hands a lot. I didn’t wear a mask before COVID and I continue to not wear a mask. It’s about consistency.

[HeatFanLifer]

No you don’t.

I really don't believe this goodboy. I was born and raised in the U.S. but my family are all immigrants. The people here love to socialize, talk to strangers, spend time with one another. Things like minding your own business, keeping your distance, and not socializing are just antithetical to the culture imo.

I'm in Florida and you should see how many people are out on the sidewalks running, biking, spending time with their families and neighbors from a distance. People are dying for contact. I don't think a world exists where people in the U.S. just accept this status quo regardless of what happens.

As crazy as it is, I've seen men who still want to shakes hands amidst all of this.

I think Florida is an exception. Didnt you guys wanted to be your own country/separate from u.s or something @ some point lol.
Places like NY and other major cities, D.C may have to adapt to those kind of outcomes. I could only see states like Florida and Texas not giving a chit and going about their business.

I've been mostly impressed with people's ability to get used to wearing masks so quickly here, but the people who don't want to wear one out of spite or for personal freedomz really annoy me

Good to hear I annoy you.

I read the article below in the early stages of the virus and I am sticking to it in terms of why I’m opposed to most people wearing masks. Masks may be doing more harm than good.

In a lab study, sure properly trained individuals who use clean masks and don’t need to readjust the mask reduce the chances of spreading the virus if infected. But as Iggie noted, people are not wearing them properly and you gotta touch the mask a lot to readjust. This highly reduces any gained outcome of wearing a mask. Plus, the water droplets that accumulate on a non-medical mask from breathing make it MORE likely for someone to get infected.

Not wearing a mask isn’t about protesting for me. It’s using the freedoms of this country to determine what is in the best interest of my health. Government mask policies are using a draconian measure to achieve an outcome with very little analysis done to understand if the desired outcome is aided by the measure. Give people a choice.
