Quarantine in Spain. 3rd day

Unpopular but true: a large reason why grocery store are empty now isn’t just because there’s a bunch of greedy, awful people panic everything in sight to spite others. Sure, there’s some hoarding assholes, but a lot of it is people realizing they will now need over a month’s worth of groceries in one go when they might usually only buy enough to last them a week, maybe two, and people who can no longer supplement with going out, people who are now eating three meals at home when usually their kids eat lunch at school and they have lunch at the office… that’s a hell of a lot more food than most families need to have on hand, including people who normally never cook and just grubhub everything. The food supply chains will hopefully stabilize a bit in the coming weeks - just wanted to point out it’s not all malicious and people aren’t as awful as is being said. I’m under self imposed quarantine, social distancing, working from home and staying away from others. Hoping all of you guys are safe and feeling ok.

just about every person coming through my line at the grocery store is just buying what they’d usually buy when they buy groceries. They’re just buying MORE of it than they’d usually buy. Because they’re needing more than they’d usually need. I lost count of how many times I was asked if we had any more eggs simply because people told me they were cooking sit down breakfasts for their kids now instead of ‘something they can send them out the door on the way to school with’. We’re not sold out of milk because we’ve got milk hoarders stalking up their garage for the next five months with milk. We’re out of milk because everyone’s home now and drinking more of it. Same with bread. Our cake mixes aren’t flying off the shelves because people are worried about dessert shortages. It’s because people are home and doing baking with their free time. So - yeah - there are some assholes out there hoarding shit. But its not that simple. It’s rarely that simple. Beware of people that tell you its that simple.

should also point out that my store, and most others, have, for a couple weeks now, had a limit on how much of a certain thing people can buy. So no, even when we do get trucks in, no one’s walking out of our store with two cartloads full of toilet paper. And I’ve only had to turn away two people that tried to overbuy in the past two weeks as well.

Food supply chains are one of my special interests. In Britain, one in ten British people eat in restaurants or get takeout (“takeaway”) once a week: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/consumer/articles-reports/2019/11/21/one-ten-brits-get-takeaway-or-eat-out-least-once-w

I suspect that this data is thinking in terms of hot dinners, rather than all the casual outside catering the people consume: every kebab from a van, every cake and cappucino in a coffee shop, every sneaky dash to Pret, every vending machine run, every Gregg’s pasty and scalding tea in a styrofoam cup, every snack in a street market, every ice cream from a van, every bit of toast in the work canteen, every school lunch, every tea shop in every attraction, all the small stripy apples gobbled by all the kids in all the nurseries, and of course all the drinking and snacking in pubs.

A portion of the food in the UK’s supply chain is in catering: businesses that sell you prepared food and drinks, which includes the restaurant industry. These businesses have contracted and sourced piles and piles of food and drink ingredients to provide the tremendous amount of catered food they make and sell. they buy in large amounts from specific providers to sell it, which is profitable because people come and eat it. The UK’s restaurant industry is worth £38 billion.

Now everyone must eat at home. The food in the catering supply chain is going to be dramatically less needed: food-makers are all Delivery Only. There will be shocks and shudders as the load rebalances and settles, from feeding a nation that enjoyed treats to a nation that stays at home and makes them.

Britain has awful food resilience, mostly because of historical obtuseness. The piper will have to be paid soon. But a good deal of the actual food is where it always was: in the hands of the people who meant to sell it outside.

One in ten Brits gets a takeaway at least once a week.

“Aw man I wish you could like go on ~platonic dates~ with friends and like sleep in the same bed as your friend and cudddle with your friends and have someone that you don’t just hang out in groups with but like, have long deep conversations and share secrets”

I don’t know what the fuck happened to you guys younger than me in your formative years but literally everyyyything you’re describing is something that was included in the concept of ‘best friends’ as it was repeatedly presented to me as a child and teen.

SOmething happened along the way that got so many people thinking that ‘friend’ is ‘anyone and everyone you repeatedly have ‘friendly’ contact with’ and that’s NOT TRUE.

We need to seriously bring back the word ‘acquaintance’. You need to familiarize yourself with it.

Because all of you complaining about having friend groups full of people who talk shit about you or exclude you? You don’t have friends, those are acquaintances.

Those ‘friends’ who don’t actually know much about you and aren’t that concerned about you? Acquaintances.

Those ‘friends’ you know who wouldn’t go one on one with you shopping, to lunch, to the movies? Acquaintances.

You are acquainted. You know each other. You are friendly towards each other. But that’s it. You’re not friends.

Somewhere along the way the term ‘friend’ became ‘anyone you know and talk to in a positive manner’ and that’s fine but in that case we ALSO need to re-legitimize the term best friend.

Because to a one, every post whining about ‘platonic mates’ and pining for ‘platonic dates’ is literally just someone wishing they had a best friend.

All of them.

I blame facebook.

Honestly you’re not wrong. This has so much to do with social media and that shit all started with MySpace & Facebook.

Hey can we talk about this

how at the end of Iron Man 3, we were reassured that Tony Stark would be back.

while for the other MCU heroes, we got this…

… not “Steve Rogers will return” or “Scott Lang will return” or “Peter Parker will return”

and at the end of BP, we see “Black Panther will return in Avengers: Infinty War”

We get their masked identities. Their superhero aliases. Their alter egos.

When we think of Captain America, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, etc., we think of them as the heroes who we could rely on to help us, kick ass, and save the day, right?

And what do we think of when we hear the name Tony Stark?

Here, Tony’s actual name, not his alias, is in the same position as the others, reminding us that Iron Man may be powerful, but the true person we can trust to come and save us is Tony Stark. Iron Man has firepower, but Tony has more to offer the world than just his armor. If he ever finds himself in a situation where he doesn’t have a suit, you bet he’ll find another way to save the day.

That’s what he does. He’s a mechanic. He sees a problem and he fixes it. Yeah, he has an awesome suit of armor that helps him kick ass, but that’s just a high tech prosthesis, an extension of himself, an amplification of his true superpower — his brain and his heart.

Even without Iron Man, Tony Stark is a hero.

Always reblog. Always remember who our hero truly is.

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.

Snopes confirms.

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. it’s not a fucking joke they’re actually scary

Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else

there was a bunch of these at disneyland

xakariahthepariah-deactivated20

i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

This shit is bad news

Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.

If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.

My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but that’s extremely dangerous as well.

Be safe please.

Whether you’re a woman, a man, gay, straight, bi, whatever sexual orientation you are, that is your personal call and that is not someone else’s to take. It’s not someone else’s to play with. It’s not someone else’s to mess with, and how dare you laugh about it and make meme after meme and retweet this and that and make it a joke. Because this behavior is not normal, it is not okay.
