Amid the Protesting, rioting and looting, the Covid numbers have been all but ignored. No state is talking about continuing the shutdown, no matter what the numbers will reveal. There I said it. Typical short attention span of most people. Out of sight, out of mind. Also news going for the ratings over what is important. If Covid #s spike again then you will see it everywhere once more. Already here in the hospital where we live with the danger each day, many staff have become blase and walk around without masks or wearing masks on their chin instead of pulled up while not washing thier hands properly. That's what the death toll dropping to just a thousand a day will do. www.sify.com/news/global-covid-19-cases-top-64-mn-johns-hopkins-news-international-ugejapiaeigbc.htmlGlobal COVID-19 cases top 6.4 mn: Johns HopkinsWashington, June 4 (IANS) The total number of global coronavirus has increased to over 6.4 million, while the death toll has topped 385,000, according to the Johns Hopkins University. As of Thursday morning, the overall number of cases stood at 6,429,453, while the death toll increased to 385,873, the University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) revealed in its latest update. With 1,851,530 confirmed cases and 107,148 deaths, the US currently accounts for the highest number of infections and fatalities in the world, according to the CSSE.

A bit of a lighter there I said it on myself (a favorite topic, yes I know)... this is how bad my French is... For ages I thought the French-Canadian song Alouette was about some guy with a jaunty feather on his head. Well, it turns out after a little research that it's a song about plucking birds. This makes me want to re-watch old kids' shows like Bobino and Nic Et Pic and see what else I missed. "I don't know what is taking them so long, the answer is obviously 42. But perhaps they are Anglo mice."

Incels are creeps. They're the type who hide spy-cams in the ladies loo.
There, I said it.
I had to look up both terms. Does someone make up all these terms every year?

"NEET" is amongst the worst acronyms I've come across. Is "unemployed" too passe these days?

"NEET" is amongst the worst acronyms I've come across. Is "unemployed" too passe these days? This goes beyond "unemployed", however. These are what my father would refer to as "shiftless layabouts", not only not working but also not in school or training for some kind of job or career. Just existing, and sadly where a lot of the stereotype of the gamer/comic book guy living in his mom's basement eating Hot Pockets and sucking down Mountain Dew all day while arguing about pointless minutiae on the internet for hours on end comes from. Incels are a whole other breed. Bunch of whiny, entitled d-bags who think that women exist only to have sex with them, and because they have that attitude, women won't have sex with them, so therefore women are the problem.

Incels are people too. There I said it. Barely. And they're definitely a waste of perfectly good carbon.

Yep. Unemployed suggests "trying to work but can't." NEETs are losers who are just existing. Leeches. I like the term "shiftless layabouts."
Incels are people, too. Bad people, but technically people.

TLC didn't want no 'scrubs', good for them, but after that I must've tuned out. Hating on groups isn't usually a good thing. Nope, never kicked a ginger.

I'm just about through interacting with the internet in general besides this forum. I come here, share boards on Pintrest with my wife and a few friends and that's about all the internet I can take.
Now if there was just someway to ignore the majority of humanity in life. (Man this epidemic is really bringing out the worst in a lot of people.)
There I said it.
