    It is an ill wind that blows no good - (slightly) positive effects of the coronavirus.

    The amount of people from different disciplines that would never usually have talked to each other has increased (in the effort to fight the virus). Human ingenuity +10

    The pent up gratitude for what used to be considered "normal" life will sky rocket after this blows over. Gratitude +10

    Our knowledge of and need to be prepared for similar events will increase. Preparedness +10

    For the most part, families that never get a chance to spend enough quality time together are getting that time. Relationship +10

    If we can somehow claw back any civil liberties that may or may not be infringed upon in the name of security we will be a stronger people for it. Liberty + or - TBD.

    Also, if any PC watchdogs noticed my trend of picking movies that were made by white males, starting white males, trust me when I say it is hard selecting movies that resonate with the audience of mostly white males that make up this board that DON'T mostly trend that way

    PC watchdogs should be ignored for the greater good... (The greater good..) HINT for my suggestion for your next movie debate (if you haven't already done it).

    DD was enjoyable back in highschool/college. Feels like it's trying too hard nowadays. 6/10.

    Needed a new router today. Hit up Best Buy online and did a curbside pickup. Me an my girlfriend walked there. I put on my mask and stayed 6ft away from the associate. Another guy came out and asked for my Id. I put that shit on the ground and walked away. I asked him to set the stuff down on my id and I would grab it once he got far enough away. What a crazy life we are living right now.

      There's a 90's style gangsta rap in there. I feel it.

    No, that’s a misconstrued interpretation of the point I’m making. Any person who goes out in public, is around others, etc. is carrying the risk of spreading a virus that kills people. That’s why people are being asked to stay home. 
     

    People are bitching because they want to go out and do nonessential things, whining that the constitution of the United States says they can’t be stopped just because the police believe them to be endangering the public, because “muh rights.”

      Freedom vs. responsibility vs. governmental power are not issues to be weighed lightly, but I get your point.

    After the important things start rolling in (slowing the spread, enough tests, vaccine, plans for overflow patients, etc), I think the next real plan needs to be re-integrating normal society again.

    Sure, you could make everybody stay home for the rest of the year to keep this shit at bay.   But there are likely other ways to slowly open stuff back up (even if you have everybody wearing masks) to minimize virus exposure as much as realistically possible?

     Anyone not listening to Scott Adams' periscope is about 2-4 weeks behind the curve on hearing this kind of stuff (and more). He's had an eerie knack for predicting how things will go down and on bringing up issues long before the legacy media (or politicians) catches wind. 

    Fair warning: he's a bit of an odd duck, and if you're addicted to outrage or political team sports you're going to have a bad time.

    These prices on ebay are crazy now, jesus!!  Influx of a small group of rich buyers or just overall a spike in interest in our what was once a niche hobby?  I want my titles back!!  Who has em?! Where is my qualified big box gyro lol.  Lost in space I suppose.  /cry

      I know your pain all too well. Currently on round 3 (after selling before child #2 was born) and only took... maybe a year or two off and HOLY HELL the prices for CIBs are soul crushing. Not too long ago a CIB Godzilla was, what, $25 (and you could take your pick condition wise). Now most of them are BINs into the hundreds. Clown shoes on head world.
