    I sure do. I take care of my mother. My ex wife also recently had cancer, so I have to be careful for multiple reasons. Co-Parenting is much easier with two.

    But fatty loves to slap down his knowledge of what he thinks regardless of accuracy or truth.

    It’s all about framing narrative. It’s called apologetics in religion.

    As I said, you have every right to stay in. But businesses need to run also. If you don't understand that, you're myopic or self-absorbed.

    why do you keep trying to create a false narrative? Good god man.

    you really are the male version of Karen. Congrats on that.

    You're the Karen, kiddo. I'm living my life. I'm not sure you are.

    I actually do dinners, lunches and brunches with friends. That's how we "hang out."

    Jesus... It's like y'all don't do anything.

    people do go out

    some people just minimize it because they're protecting their loved ones

    Some people just have different ideas on what is more important when it comes to people dying from a disease with no vaccination in a pandemic. Many countries closed down restaurants and pubs to stop the spread and get the pandemic under control. That doesn't make them self-absorbed in any way.

    Pubs and restaurants are actually traced to a lot of positive cases. It's basically a mask free environment when eating indoors with air condition circulating around. It's just not a risk a lot of people can take.

    You do realize that the death rate of this was 4 times as high during the 6 week lockdown?

    All I know is more Texans are dying now than ever. In fact, up until July 18th we only had 3,471 total deaths. Now, a little over 3 weeks later Texas has over 9,000 deaths. So, this is far from under control.

    According to the CDC, Texas is at under 6500. And that is the problem. Too many different ideas on what is the correct number, especially when there is incentivization to do so.

    Worldometer (9,004 deaths Texas)
    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/
    CDC (8,490 deaths Texas)
    https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases

    Either report shows a huge jump in deaths in 3 weeks considering we had 3,798 cases in all the months up until July 18th.

    what an epic comeback. That stung. “No you’re the Karen”

    Is it blissful being as ignorant as you are? In such a small world it must be easy for you to color in the lines and put things in boxes. You’re just being a good boy and organizing your boxes aren’t you? So cute. Just remember the round blocks don’t go into square holes.

    I've been banned in the past and learned from my behavior. Apparently fatty has not. Sad.

    Last time I saw friends was probably at the Royal Rumble at MMP back in January.
