  1. idk i think it might be good to prepare bc no one knows how things will turn out. i have some cash in hand just incase emergency so i wouldnt do something that drastic though. but yea he said he was worried about banks being closed during a national lockdown bc ppl will panic and try to withdraw all their money out all at once and cause havoc. cant forget all that toilet paper fiasco that no one expected lol so its a plausible scenario. and online orders arent always reliable bc i remember watching news, during our 1st lockdown, that online grocery stores were overwhelmed with orders and having trouble delivering orders so you never know.
  2. my brother manage to order it trying like 6 - 8 different sites at the same time as soon as it started and the whole process took him about an hour. he said he had his card info ready and kept refreshing bc checkout pages continue to reject/disappear really fast. he thinks bots were spamming orders so it was really difficult but he had his luck with sony bc it requires psn id. he tried to order it for me too but he couldnt. its okay, im not in a hurry, but it wouldve been nice to try out. besides i retired my 10+ year old pc just last week and replaced it with a new one so i can wait longer
  3. https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2020/11/07/state-bar-passes-mandatory-covid-19-vaccination-recommendation/ "The New York State Bar Association on Saturday passed a resolution urging the state to consider making it mandatory for ALL New Yorkers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination when a vaccine becomes available, even if people object to it for “religious, philosophical or personal reasons.” no way..its happening so fast. had a guy today rambling about getting his money out of bank incase a national lockdown. but what good would that do, paper money will be useless if govt decides to lock you up for refusing to take a vaccine. you already cant buy or sell without a mask on, so you really have no control over this. better luck getting guns and canned food instead while theres still time 0_o

    2020s Predictions?

    i honestly think those delays were an attempt to cheat. i dont even have to look. im sure whatever reason behind it was covid related bs issue. now that biden had clearly won, those efforts werent even necessary. it would be a waste of time to investigate and probably hard to prove but i think trump would pursue this until his stupid term ends. and i think national lockdown will happen under biden. he even said he would. raising taxes on rich, pumping out endless stimulus checks to poor, thats his solution for economy recovery but with shutting down public places, businesses, and eliminating ppls jobs at the same time, theres just no way a country can function normally. dark times ahead imo
  5. here, our mandatory mask order ended in august and county judge ordered 2 more weeks of it. thats as far as emergency power she was suppose to have from the article i read. but here we are in november and we are still wearing masks and no one is questioning anything. and almost 100 ppl died from newly tested vaccine in s.korea recently. but news says its just a flu shot and covid simply complicated things. O_o wtf. since govt can just force masks on ppl, why not force these vaccines on ppl too? sounds farfetched now, but have you ever thought you would be wearing masks everywhere you go if you were asked this question last year? id probably die from something random before covid ever gets me. its more than frustrating bc its like no one has an answer for it but we are just to follow their orders or else.

    2020s Predictions?

    not to mention there are no real consequences when they get caught doing something illegal and held accountable. i dont pay attention to s.korean politics much but so far two recent presidents went to jail for corruption and one committed suicide. it may look bad on the outside and may damage korea’s reputation as a country but at least citizens have confidence in justice system that even the most powerful politicians are not invincible. thats something id like to see that happen in the US politics but yeah US politicians will never allow that and incriminate themselves lol. its nice to believe ppl have a choice between two parties but really makes no difference, even after the election most of them never bother to keep their campaign promises anyway. the process just seem pointless, spending hundreds of millions on their campaigns to begin with. what a waste ———————- i guess its good that i fell asleep and slept in. i woke up late and expected to see a winner but this may drag on for awhile

    2020s Predictions?

    trump will be close to 80 yrs old by next election O_o seriously if i were that rich, i would just retire early and enjoy life. i think they do this for the sake of their prestige/legacy..they dont give a shit about ppl. and yeah, its pretty pointless to vote here in texas as well.
  8. i was thinking touch screen only lol. i was watching cbs news live and thats what they were showing me so i was curious. that voting sample is kinda confusing to me..having same candidates names in same column two or even three times. my county was trying drive thru voting and things went wrong i guess. dem and rep are suing each other for its legitimacy..big circus show going on over here.

    2020s Predictions?

    hmm..i predict a landslide victory for trump. we’ll see. loved those SJW crying reaction videos in last election..
  10. ^ what was the poll screen looked like? was it easy to use? it seems like poll booths dont even have those big curtains anymore. i asked customers if they voted today and most of them said no lol. i have a day off tomorrow so ill try to stay up to see who wins. wish i bought some snacks and beer for this j/k 😛
  11. i dont know what to think about this game. my brother told me about it a couple months ago. i think its released now and sold at $100. i mean its very innovative and cool looking, but im sure it has its limits. ppl are already complaining about hair getting stuck on a wheel or not running smoothly on a carpeted floor. im pretty sure its not pet friendly either lol. but gotta hand it to nintendo for trying something new..i hope to see more games like this in the future. i started to play switch games again so hopefully it gets better with their titles and game ideas
  12. “..Pluto tv apps also have free live tv channels.“ well ill be..O_o i bought my mom tcl tv 2 years ago and now im noticing it offers free streaming services lol. roku for one (started to watch only a month ago) and i just noticed it has pluto tv as well bc u mentioned it. i just browsed through. i guess i didnt bother to look bc i thought i had to pay to watch. my samsung tv has tv plus with 150+ channels but only worth watching channels are nickolodean and a few others..not really worth it. i only play games with it so no biggie. have you heard of tubitv? it needs to be activated so i didnt bother with it last night but it has good reviews and its free. ill might get it later and see if its any good
  13. no cable service since 2012ish. kept adding random channels and charge them without notice. i think it was road runner. horrible service. ondemandkorea is really good but you have to be a fan of kpop and kdramas/movies it offers a lot of variety shows, documantaries, and news channels and they are all free with ads. and i have apple tv 4k about 2 years now but i only use it to watch netflix, youtube, amazon prime etc. even though my new iphone offers 1 year free trial to watch apple original tvs and dramas but im not that interested. i havent really checked other features like games and stuff but its really easy to use with a remote so i like it.
  14. its nothing special that schools are reopened and ppl are having parties though. its only businesses that suffer bc of fines and restrictions that are placed on them. for the rest of ppl, they could careless. i know this bc a local news report about a party goer or two getting killed from drive by shootings with hundreds of attendees without any eyewitnesses and not bc of covid. its been like that even before the lockdown and almost everyweek it never fails something goes wrong during those dumbass parties like this recent one where two numbnuts fall from 4 story balcony while partying/drinking their asses off. and cops dont stop ppl from having parties even during lockdowns, at least not here anyway. and kids here have a choice to stay home and study online or go back to school for a couple months now and houston actually have been getting lowest covid cases since it started. also not too long ago texas gov tried to limit the voting booth per county (blaming it on covid but in reality he was trying to discourage poor ppl with commute difficulties from voting) so he had been criticized for trying to rig the election. for the news exposure, i watch one of those one hour long nbc's dateline when i come from work. and the rest on youtube and yahoo articles. not everyday though, hells kitchen is free on roku tv so right now i been watching that lol. so when my coworker told me about a possible riot, a foreign news source thats mostly neutral, it was news to me that i havent heard of. if republicans are pissed off about the election result, they arent going after petty retail stores for cheap thrill of looting, theyll probably go after officials and govt properties so id be in less danger if i wanted to go shopping after the election day..i did all my shopping today just incase lol. and when i was writing that post last night about agenda, nbc's headline was like "88,000 new covid cases in ONE DAY in 25+ states!!" and showing empty hospital beds all over again, i was like alright thats enough news for today. whats contradicting with news and reality is that i have customers who are ailing (cancer and other diseases) and i ask them lots of times about hospital capicity when they mention about their health and their hospital visits and they are like, oh i didnt even wait that long, hospitals are usually empty..this was when houston was suppose to have high covid resurge. im not just going to blindly accept crap like, holy shit 100,000,000,000 ppl got covid and body bags everywhere (and insert images of italian covid patients..which they got caught and aplogized for)!! and what turned me off completely from biden is his last prez debat with trump. i mean he got obliterated when trump asked him to answer "who built the cages?" biden's answer was "we made a mistake." for crying out loud, 50 years of political career and 8 years in obama administration and that's his answer? then biden turns around and says he'll fix 4 years of trump's mishandling. im sorry but using biden's own logic, trump should get re-elected so he can fix his mistakes too, thats only fair. and bipartisan bickering will never go away unless you turn off from news completely. i only watch it to see whats going on, and most of time i tune out when two politicians argue about whos better at lying. if anyone but biden, id root for them so trump goes away too, but biden is a such weak candidate to begin with. at least i know what trump would do, even if its reckless. but biden? hell even obama tried to talk him out of it of uncertainty saying, biden, you dont have to do this." thats just big yikes. (edit)———————- “They've had early voting here for a while now but they've been swamped so I haven't voted yet. I have election day off so I'll go that morning.“ ps im not saying who you should vote for, both of them can drop dead for all i care. i re-read my post and it kinda sounded that way. i didnt vote but i prefer trump to win over biden since theres not much left in biden imo. and i hope you dont have to wait long to vote on the election day.
  15. so anyone voted? trump is dangerous but biden at 76 and he thinks he is running for the senate and hiding in a basement..err..no thanks to either one. my coworker was listening to spanish speaking news and told me it was warning ppl just incase biden loses, stock water and food bc there might be a riot and looting as a result they dont want. O_o as how BLM is still acting out, cant rule that scenario out i suppose. i like how covid all of sudden surges all over the place and several cities like philadelphia and el paso went on a lockdown less than a week before the election day. if thats not an agenda then i dont know what is.

    2020s Predictions?

    this guy got some guts. its no foolproof against global recession/hyperinflation but he was preparing before covid hit. one ounce of gold is a fortune right now, gold price skyrocketed since pandemic and im not even fully committed but i did get some 5 grand worth of gold and silver recently. a couple more stimulus checks after november and itll be like i didnt spend a dime on it! anyway its very risky and expensive to buy precious metals at this late stage but it could pay off in the long term if fear of covid drags on and gold price keep going up. but i think we are heading that way as more covid cases surge and talk of more lockdowns on businesses looming. *fingers crossed*
  17. ^ yeah they are kinda small but have some weight on it too. im guessing the middle one has some real gold mixed in it or something. the guy also found old bills/banknotes in a very good condition from europe, china, and other unknown origins (looked like greek or russian letters..not sure) in an single envelope lol. one of them had "Berlin 1910" on it, only a few ones that we can able to read lol, very cool.

    Vintage Pocket Watches

    i have a customer who works at storage units and he is allowed to keep valuables and throw away junks. he finds all sorts of things, pretty cool stuff. anyway he got fed up with ppl he was trying to sell old pocket watches he found so he sold them to me real cheap lol. gotta say, $70 each wasnt such a bad deal. top to bottom, copper one "columbia usa" dates back to 1896-1899. they all have serial numbers and he showed me how to identify them online. gold one "elgin" has inscription, obviously a gift from a mother to her son with 1924 on it. they both work (i have to wind em up) except silver one, another "elgin", havent checked its date yet, but he gave me that one for free. 😛
  19. stayed up all night finishing up the final season. meant to play only one episode for that evening but couldnt put it down. it was really good, more story driven than previous seasons. clem longing for lee in her dreams, still seeking his advice/guidance, was a nice touch. overall they really put a lot of thought into this for their final project and not half ass it to just get it over with like some other game developers do when dealing with its sequels. i cared for almost everyone except AJ lol..crazy little bastard. i wont say much bc others who havent played this game yet, but the spoiler YT video i mentioned earlier i saw was only the half of it. it ended in a cliffhanger so i thought that was it but there was like 40 mins more left to a gamplay/story so im relieved how it turned out.
  20. ^ you were right. season 3 wasnt so bad. as soon as i encountered clem, things picked up and got interesting real quick. all my decisions were towards protecting clem but i begin to care for javi's interests too later on. and i actually got a happy ending for once. i thought either javi or kate would die towards the end but they all made it. kate wanting to protect ppl of richmond from hords didnt make much sense to me but whatever. storywise i dont think it affects season 4 that much. its kinda like filler to explain how clem managed to survive while caring for an infant. i think only thing that carried over from S3 to S4 is the bad haircut javi gave clem lol.
  21. just finished season 2. i had to put kenny out of his misery. the guy was losing it..XD and idk wth is up with season 3. i dont wanna play as someone new. ill might skip this one and move onto season 4. i already know what happens though (ending only), got randomly spoiled by YT recommendation like last year. wish i hadnt seen it

    2020s Predictions?

    ehh i think everyone got a plan until you get hit applies here. shoot him in the neck, get him in the face, idk, there really is no time to think as it happens so fast. you just act on your instinct as your head go numb. when i got robbed at workplace at gunpoint i just froze. i had my snub nose in my back pocket and i left one chamber empty bc i didnt want the gun to go off accidently while i was working so it was too late to draw my gun anyway but it wasnt even an option. i dont know why i thought i would have time to casually get my gun out, roll the chamber once and im ready for gunfight. lucky he only grabbed cash on register and left bc other customer was pulling in. but my former coworker got worst of it. someone quit so my schedule changed and i had to go to a different store to help out. it was a slow night so he was putting motor oil in his jeep when 4 men with shotguns and pistols came out from corner and dragged him inside and beat him (kick, punch, pistol whip him) pretty badly. he normally have his pistol tucked in his back pants. but on that night he left the gun under the counter. extremely lucky robbers didnt find it when they were searching everywhere for valuables. while they were getting away he grabbed his gun under the counter and pointed at one of running robbers and "click"..his fking pistol was jammed. he wouldve been so so screwed if he had his gun on him. he said he had that gun for years, never had prob with it so he was very shook. just imagine i was suppose to work that night. and another time i was opening the store in the morning when alarm went off bc i forgot the password. cop came and stood outside asking for my ID. i have my ID in my car so i reached for my keys..But i had forgotten that i keep my gun in my front pocket now fully loaded bc of that 1st incident. i was like oh shit, ppl die for this shit. remember that guy who got swatted by his game buddy as a prank, he reached for his front pocket and died as a result? it wasnt even that long that i watched that video and commented i would never be that stupid and here i am doing the same thing. i glanced at him as he was looking at something else so i casually reached my back pocket to get my keys out. just to show, you just never know when or how its gonna happen. i planned and played in my head numerous scenarios if i ever get attacked and need to use my gun, i would do this and that, but when it actually happened, i didnt even have time to think. just be alert on your surroundings but nothing else you can do about it.
