All I know is that it's time to buy stocks on sale.

That's one way to control the panic buyers.

Coming out of quarantine in a couple of days, straight into the lockdown. My county has over 50 cases per 100.000 inhabitants and I'm getting slowly a lot more insecure about the whole situation.

The plant I work at shut down for the next two weeks, possibly longer. All employees have to use their paid vacation, thus my entire vacation in the summer was cancelled. Working from home went meh for a week, due to the stress on the company network.

Idk, this whole situation overwhelms me.

You have survived the heated discussions (Migrants, Brexit) on these forums.

You will survive Covid 19.

Yeah, I get the funny twist, but to me that symbol is as bad as the swastika. There you go.

Swastika has actually been a positive Symbol for millenia, and still is in many cultures...where it has nothing to do with what it came to mean for many people as a result of the political hijacking in Germany in the 20th century .

I thought you were kidding 🤦‍♂️.

When I look at your avatar I think "car avatar" I don't assume you support vehicular policies politically.

I said I get the funny twist*, still I do occasionally get triggered that some think about it as a running gag - that symbol, afterall, represents a beast that was as rotten as the nazis.
*There is plenty to laugh at about the absurdity of that system in many ways.

Sure. But try a German officer lookalike with a swastika avatar and see how long it takes to get you permabanned.

Some right wing Christian type already did that, they just removed the avatar. He's still here.
 
Ive probably gone too far on here already given the understandable rules, but try reading the history of the Great Depression, countries ruled and/or invaded by the US and UK and King Leopold II of Belgium re: the Congo as cursory, limited examples.

I won't get political, but let's just say that no one has a clean conscience in this world, no one. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise, probably has the dirtiest sheets of all!
