It’s time to start drinking!Do they explain how to get liquor in a liquor ban?
I'm not worried about getting sick, I'm worried about maintaining one of my longest running hobbies.
You f*cking alcoholic 😘
May be you can ask this question. That young doctor seems very knowledgeable.
I haven't seen a doctor in years - even though I probably should - but thanks for your concern.
Don’t panic, nutildah.

There's now talk of universal basic income. This means that very soon we will be a leading exporter of poorly made tractors, sour cabbage and Victory Gin.
Dry IceI think that is now the canonical expression of true love: You will risk contracting coronavirus so that you can come closer than officially mandated social-distancing distance.
Either that, or an expression of the fact that you think with the little head.
Anybody notice how it is now considered healthy to be isolated from other human beings?
I don't believe any of us doubt your ability to compose a lengthy disquisition on the differences between healthy and prudent. Are you trolling us, Nullius?
If by “trolling”, you mean a “using ambiguously sarcastic,
* ‘Hah, hah—only serious!’ style of observations to incite people to
think,” then yes. Politically dangerous satirists have done not dissimilarly throughout history. There is no harm in observing this openly: The shepherds are not as stupid as the sheep, anyway.
No matter what I do, 99% of people will miss 99% of the deeper substance in my posts. I may as well make the form
entertaining!
Those who can get it,
will get it, nevertheless.
E.g., this is one of the top-ten most serious observations that I have ever made on this forum:
All Oceana will soon be flooded with the needed fuel for a perpetual war against Eurasia Eastasia Eurasia Eastasia Eurasia (why, yes: my crystal ball says that tensions between America and China are a feint, and the real risk of war is in Eurasia).
99% of people will simply chuckle, and scroll on.
* Ambiguously sarcastic, only in the sense that you must think hard about which direction my sarcasm is aimed in. Many of my posts could be read both ways—including the one that you quoted. — Unambiguously sarcastic, in the sense that many of my most dangerously serious observations are undoubtedly packed for delivery on dry-ice sarcasm.
On Socially Distant Networking: “Too Sober, Didn’t Read”Anybody notice how it is now considered healthy to be isolated from other human beings?
What? How about 2 thumbs on a cellphone? Isn't that "social"?
You are too sober: You look like you’ve had a bit too much to think.
For the sake of your mental health, a peace officer from the Ministry of
Love Social-Distancing “Social” Networking will soon enroll you in re-education about the virtues of being an isolated individual atom, ever alone in a crowd, a self-esteemed snowflake adrift in a blizzard—
i.e.,
the perfectly docile and powerless slave.* nullius hands Jimbo the bottle of Victory Gin—and yes, I just took a swig straight out of it—and I think that if you share drinks with strangers, you should generally be more worried about herpes simplex than about coronavirus. No, I don’t want the bottle back. Keep it, with my compliments. You said that you are old and wise, which means that you were once young and foolish—and that means you are at high risk of having been a 60s hippie—and that would mean a high risk that you carry oral herpes. No offense. Keep the bottle; it’s almost empty, anyway.
