Take advantage of every opportunity to socialize safely. On a gorgeous (but windy) 80-degree day in Milwaukee, we dined in an empty restaurant next to open window ( 2:30 pm lunch with CO2 at 500), had cocktails in a bar with open garage doors (CO2 450), and enjoyed an electric cello concert outdoors at a bar. There's never zero #COVID19 risk, but I believe I can effectively minimize risks with smart decisions.
@augieray I love to see this kind of activity. The extent to which I feel covid safe around others, is in part determined by the extent to which those people seem to be taking things seriously, and trying to act in a covid safe manner. At the very most - If I was around a group of people that I knew were taking the highest measures possible to avoid covid transmission, I would be content to sit in a room with them, windows closed, and not sitting too far away from each other. That is never going to happen though.
@Mrfunkedude You're right, I've made it this far to bedtime (Only another 11 hours to go), I should just skip to it right away. Thanks for the encouragement.
@Wyatt I've just spent the entire last semester at Uni discussing these kinds of things (as a student) in class. "is this a warcrime?", "Is this genocide?", "why is torture morally wrong?". I now realize that these discussions were not aimed at getting students to start thinking about these things, to develop more nuanced perspectives on such things, but rather, to let students know, with no uncertainty, that these things will only ever be talked about, as a way of never actually having to get around to doing something about it. Interestingly enough, the Israeli horror show was not mentioned once. Don't mention the Nakba.
Currently considering shaving my head so that I can grow and choose a new hair style. I have had the same haircut for the last six years. That’s long enough right?
