Have you lived by yourself before? It’s really rather delightful in some ways.

LOL I actually still have my card.

I haven't, so I suppose I really have no idea what it's like. I think my feelings would be different if everything was opened up and I could do more things, but I guess I'm just worried about everything being boring and quiet all the time. I dunno.

Another option - a cat:).  Most people would say a dog, but cats are wildly self sufficient, almost no work, and yet always there when you feel a little lonely:)...

I do know that my neighbors have a cat named Ripley. Maybe I'll get one named Jonesy.

Well, this is really just my two cents, and I tend to be an introvert when left to my own devices, but — don’t get too caught or stressed about it. Think about how you get to do the things you went when you want: movies or TV to watch, when/where/what to eat, and so forth. Your apartment will be quiet when you want quiet, and loud when you want loud. 
 

FaceTime a friend or family when you need to chat with someone. If a friend lives locally, meet up at a park or something where you can talk and hang (while masked) in relative safety. 
 

It’s possible this’ll become monotonous or annoying if you have to do it for years... but the good news is, you won’t need to.

Will you have enough food and stuff to not be hungry?

Serious question:  Now that Fallout, FALLOUT!!!, is coming to of all places Amazon Prime, can a TV series based on PARANOIA be that far behind?

 

That would be an... interesting series, especially in these highly ironic and politically charged times.

People are actually speculating that Snyder would rather sell the team and have that person change the name than back down on his "never ever" stance and change it himself.

 

To which I say:

Not a good week for people named Dan. Dan Snyder refusing to change a name which has been under fire for over a decade now, Dan Crenshaw pushing more and more conspiracy theories about Covid on TV and Dan Patrick asking us to sacrifice grandma for the economy.

Looks like I might be driving on the new M8 this week.

Doubt the timing is all that coincidental.

So they can get all this effort to change a team name but not pressure a company to stop using child labour in third world countries or stealing water from local water tables. 

 

Odd how the corporate world works with its 'ethics'
