So, I already shared this in the Coronavirus thread, but it's just too funny and/or stupidly unbelievable to not share it with more people, so here goes:

@NintendoByNature That's nice. And the right thing to do, with or without virus. Cherish them while you still have them around...

@NintendoByNature The guy who filmed it works at a gas station in Kentucky, where this took place. Online, the woman is now already labeled as "The Kentucky Covidiot".

@BruceCM But at least it's much easier to breathe.. in all those free-floating virus spores...

Yeah, exactly, @ThanosReXXX .... If you're going to bother wearing a mask, might as well do it properly

That feeling when you actually find some comedy gold in between all the often vile and vulgar comments underneath a YouTube video...

I was a bit bored, so while I was sipping my B&C and eating my snack plate, I decided to browse YouTube, and found this lost and found "reaction" video of the Star Wars scene where Darth Vader reveals the dark family secret to Luke:

Underneath it, one of the comments said the following:

Anakin: loses hands
Luke: loses hand
Leia: loses Han

Yup, there's hope for humanity yet...

@ThanosReXXX Ahem I don't believe I've seen the first Captain America movie.

Thanks for that link to a definitive list; I think chronological order will be more my cup of tea. I'm less preoccupied about release order.

I do recall the cleaning/rubbing alcohol conversation. I normally just use the lint-free dry glasses/electronics wipes and wet them down ever so slightly if needed to remove the occasional small blemish.

Cutting a hole in the mask....Oh my. /facepalm

@NintendoByNature The first vehicle that I've actually owned is my current car; I'll have had it seven years this September. Up until about a year after I got it, I still lived with my parents and used the spare '07 Saturn Ion that they bought (and still own; it's still a "spare" vehicle used for field running, and my bro drives it to work sometimes since it still gets pretty good mileage) to replace that old van. There were also a couple of brief Chevy Cobalts for that - both 2008s - but those didn't last long. It wasn't anything I did; there was an odd defect to that particular make/model that caused it to not properly accelerate on hills...and the road my parents live down has a few.

@Heavyarms55 I sometimes check the news and notifications when waiting as well, but it really depends. In particular, I've had to take a few short-term news breaks lately. It's like the industry thrives on doom and politics.

@BruceCM Now I feel loved.

@Tyranexx ah yes, the Saturn. I had one as well. I forgot the model honestly which is wierd for me. I had quite a few rides in my day,mostly my fault lol. The Saturn had a leaking sun roof that created Ice inside the car whenever we had freezing rain lol. Made fore a few laughs.

@Tyranexx You're welcome. Hope you are able to get up to speed with it in a relatively doable time, in between all the more important happenings going on...

As for the video: yeah, ultimate face palm alright. And being able to say something like that straight-faced...

I'm almost afraid to say it, but it isn't really conducive to improving the (albeit prejudiced) image of rednecks in the eyes of the general public...

Be sure to let Heavyarms55 know about your controller cleaning habits/solution, seeing as he was the one who asked us.

@NintendoByNature Sun roofs are great for gauging current weather conditions, aren't they?

I don't mind telling the story about what happened to the van, though I think I've mentioned it in here before.

@ThanosReXXX I don't think I'll be watching them anytime too soon, unfortunately. I'd consider it if I had ample time on my hands. I do have a little more than usual, but I'm also still working full time. XD

I'm not defending that lady by any means, but I wonder if it wasn't meant as a joke. (Or... she really is that dim) Kentucky's neighboring state of IL that I live in has been in perpetual lockdown since 2/3 of the way through March, and we're still under a stay-at-home order. They've loosened restrictions ever so slightly, but other states have opened up way more. A lot of people are still adhering to guidelines, but others are sick of it and aren't wearing masks unless an establishment requests it. All those memes and stories about boomers running around? They're going stir-crazy.

If the cut face mask was supposed to be some sort of joke, @Tyranexx .... It's an extremely bad one? That is possible but it hardly makes her any less stupid, either, sadly

@ThanosReXXX So you would suggest not using it on Switch Pro-controllers then?

@Tyranexx The industry does thrive on doom and politics. People like to point out that "sex sells" and that's true. But in reality disaster and controversy sell more. And nearly all major news outlets aren't in it for noble reasons, they are profit driven companies.

@Tyranexx Sadly enough, it definitely wasn't a joke. It was already posted last week, and it has been on the local Kentucky news, and also on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. I would think that both of these programs would first check if something is a hoax or not. And like @BruceCM said, if it really WAS a joke from the woman herself, then she's probably the only one who thinks it's funny, so it's not really working in that case...

But having said that, I definitely do understand people going crazy. I'm certainly having conflicting thoughts about all of this myself, but luckily, the logical part of me always prevails, meaning that I'll stick to these rules regardless, because I'll be damned before I'll become one of these idiots that is only going to make this whole situation last even longer, because I want to be "free" because it's my right by law, or whatever other stupid excuse these fools are using.

Oh, and I positively HATE the word "boomer". It's not an actual thing. It's just a childish backlash from millennials, which IS an actual thing, because they apparently can't stand being labeled. Luckily, those are all generalizations, and there are plenty of good and normal people to be found in any generation, so I mostly stay away from using these kinds of derogatory terms. Unless of course, people deserve it...

As for the Marvel movies: according to the article in that link that I sent you, this year is going to be a very slow one for Marvel movies, so they're expecting 2 at most, and maybe even just a single one, so you've basically got 7 months to get caught up. Seems like more than enough time, even for such a list, so no rush, ma'am...

@Heavyarms55 Well, if it's the original controller, then that doesn't have any rubberized grips, other than the thumb sticks, obviously. Perhaps stating the obvious, but what I'm talking about is the parts that you hold when playing, and on the original Pro controller, those are from hard, textured plastic, so there's no rubber coating on them. Don't know about third party Pro controllers, though.

Heh Gameloft released their own "Classics Mini"-style app for mobile devices. 30 of their old Java phone games for free.

No ads or anything so that's nice. It's quite nostalgic, though I don't really remember playing any of these particular games back then.
