Quoted from PantherCityPins:Well, here’s an honest question. If it turns out that the Chinese deliberately covered up the extent of this virus, intentionally putting the world at risk of large amounts of casualties and severe economic damage; is that an act of war?
That is a great question.
Quoted from chad:Something for me to try in the future.
As I scrolled through the pics of the boy with glasses, I came upon this post and thought chad was referring to those. This stay-at-home is getting to me.
Philosphical question: if a guy thinks Rachel Maddow is hot, does that make him gay?
Quoted from Rondogg:Hunter/Garcia for your Saturday morning ((vibes))
When the second dude (Hunter? John travolta?) starts singing, it made me think of this hall and Oates performance.
Quoted from Dooskie:That is a great question.
What if it was coordinated with Russia and their part of the plan was to crush the US Oil market?

You sad old bastards with your gay-hate is really something else.
Quoted from o-din:To be fair, Canada supplied me with plenty of Molson Golden and Moosehead when I was a teenager.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Letterkenny is hilarious!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Philosphical question: if a guy think Rachel Maddow is hot, does that make him gay?
100% yes! I think you would have to search long and hard though to find a guy that thinks she is hot lol. Maybe Anderson Pooper or Don Lemon would think she is hot? 
Quoted from skink91:You sad old bastards with your gay-hate is really something else.
Well to be fair, she makes it pretty easy to hate her.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:There’s no gay hate....I love me some Rachel. The way she lectures her audience in that slow, monotone voice...it’s very soothing. She is one of my top go-to’s when I want take a nap or I am having late night insomnia. Right up there with watching golf on tv or counting sheep.
And a new candidate for permaban has emerged...

Since when did making fun of Rachel Maddow become a bannable offense? Give me a break!

Making fun of someone’s looks or politics has nothing to do with it, and I have a pretty hard time believing you are so simple that you don’t know that.
Pretty odd times when I feel like I (of all people) is the adult in the room.

Truthfully we are making fun of her looks but more than that its her idiotic personality. It has nothing to do with her being gay. I don't really even know that she is gay to be honest with you but i gotta assume that she probably is. It is just your assumption that we were making fun of her because she is gay. I think you might be jumping to conclusions.

I think you're looking for hate when none was intended .

When you have a weak argument, attack the person. Typical and predictable.
So this thread has devolved into personal attacks that have nothing to do with the coronavirus. That kinda sucks.
If being attracted to short-haired women and girls make you gay, then consider me Liberace. I think short hair is sexy as hell.

Nothing wrong with short haired women......as long as they look like women. 
Quoted from skink91:Sometimes I feel like I am a junior higher in the early eighties again in here.
And thats a problem? Lol
Quoted from skink91:Its the pattern of posts (and upvotes on posts) from the same people that highlight it, and then when they are called out they play victim.
I had never reported anyone before on Pinside before the other day when sadsack posted something - because I think it sucks to report people. But seriously dude. Sometimes I feel like I am a junior higher in the early eighties again in here.

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank, half pack of cigarettes, it’s dark out, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

I would mortgage my house for a well done Blues Brother's pinball .
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
If I was offended by that and I down voted you for it, would you be offended?
Maryland Coronavirus Report 4-18
Just completed my first Quarantine pinball exchange. Bought a wrapped TSPP 45 minutes from my house. On the way there I saw multiple signs saying that if I went to NJ, NY, or CT I had to self quarantine for 14 days. Only time I have gone to someone's house and not play tested but the rest of the seller's pins were way out of my league and spotless. I have it wrapped in my garage and am impatiently waiting for the rain to stop and ground to dry so I can wheel it into my basement.
I have been informed that if I travel more than 100 miles away from home I have to self quarantine for 14 days.
I am under the impression the majority of Americans will have had it by the end of the year, if not the end of the summer.
Went to Giant (local grocery store) on the way home. Wal-Mart's supply chain is WAY better. When I went to Wal-Mart last week they had everything. Giant was Spotty at best. For example: Wal-Mart had every type of soup in stock. Giant had about 1/2 of soups in stock. Wal-Mart had Ice Cream. Giant only had Ice Cream Sandwiches (kids won't mind).
I seem to be being paid to stay at home now but still need to stay productive, so I seem to be doing some more certification training to stay semi-productive. I'm starting low with a COMPTIA A+ certification, but already have a dozen much higher Certs (CISSP, CISM, PMP, Etc.) and just wanted to do something basic. Online training resources and videos are much better than they were even a few years ago.
It is amazing how easy it is to keep little kids entertained outside if you give them a little direction. I handed them a shovel and told them to dig in the woods yesterday. That lasted them HOURS.
Stay safe everyone.

Sure, that works where you live. They tried that with some Chicago kids yesterday.
Inside two hours they dug up three bodies including one identified as Jimmy Hoffa.

My kids are really struggling. My daughter's best friend's family decided to quarantine as much as we were so that the our daughters could play together. That's helping a little but we are limiting it to a couple days a week because we have workers coming into the house due to our flood.
Quoted from MrBally:I drove through Lovelock myself a couple of times in the past few weeks. Also, speaking of Elko, check out the 1989 Bally pic I have from there. Then look at the recent one. The building looks the same except the Bally sign has been replaced by a Tile & Granite sign.

You’ll have to stop by sometime when this virus crap is over
Amazing how a little bit of tolerated jokes about women's bodies open the floodgates to the homophobic drivel.
A good long hike outside is also great for the kids. Kansas State Parks are still open....for now.

Doesn't make sense to close a park like this. Plenty of room to social distance!!

Hold on... so when someone calls out people who are constantly coming back to the same hateful well for their water, they’re not supposed to say anything? They’re supposed to remain silent?
You want my definition of political correctness? It is silence in the face of status quo phobic undercurrents.

All I see is snowflakes getting triggered because they found a woman on TV that’s smarter than them.
Quoted from screaminr:People are getting offended on behalf of other people for perceived offensive behaviour ?
People have standards and morals.
This good ole boy humor just doesn't have a place in this thread. It IS offensive to some and could be curtailed. I don't think that it's so much of a strain on your personal freedoms to be respectful when you are asked to...maybe you really don't understand why, but you can see it's bothering people. So why make it a rights issue and just stick to the subject of the thread. CORONA virus.
Quoted from cait001:What does that even mean?
Pinsider's being overly sensitive about risque humor.

I honestly don't think anyone on this page of this thread has said anything hateful , you might have been offended by what some people have been saying , fair enough , but I don't think anything that has been said has been said with any hatred . Pinside is full of good people and if anything was honestly said with hatred everybody would plile on top of them .
