Some of you may call me a covidiot for this. I won't argue with you. But I made a judgement call:

We were supposed to be in Tofino for 3 nights starting today, but obviously that vacation got fucked. I didn't organize Easter egg shit. But I told my 11 year old that today, if we stay 2m from everyone, we can go to Wally World and score a big lego. He loves that shit. So we did. And I picked up Blu Rays of The Joker, and Little Women, to boot.

But here's the catch: We walked there. It's 6km each way, mostly along an abandoned railway line. He (and I) loved the walk. The whole outing (with rests, snack stops, and Wally World deliberations)was 3hrs50min. Clearly, we won't do this every day. And I picked up work shifts for 3 days in a row starting tomorrow anyway. So I'm really glad we did this today.

I marked the one word that will get you fined in Belgium. How can you be so stupid that you didn't know this!?!? :D
I'm too lazy to translate the article so here's the link in Dutch language
A married couple in their sixties were taking a bike ride, and at some point decided to take a rest on a park bench. They were even sitting 1.5 meter apart even though as a couple they didn't have to. But they got fined 500 Euros without warning by a police officer. So in Belgium exercising in public is allowed as long as you keep your distance, resting is not!

I'll translate the statement from the mayor:

Quote:

"People should keep moving, but they shouldn't get stuck. This includes sitting on benches in the park. The police must do their job and ensure that the rules are enforced to avoid gatherings. If we are going to allow people to sit on benches together, everyone will try to change the rules and the measures will no longer make any sense at all ”

just a little while ago i was almost ready to kill some senior citizens for some fresh eggs

i mean going out there to the supermarket and infect them

not that i'm infected. but i always thought if anyone were likely to be a silent carrier it would probably be me

SILENT CARRIER

then i had my whey shake and all was good. i still dream of bright yellow egg yolks running down a slice of fresh bread with a pile of bacon on the side though.

and it's the egg yolks really. i looked for powdered eggs and it's mostly egg whites. insert puke emoji.

egg yolks.

anyway, e7-e5

Well, fuck that then. I'm going to "work" soon, with my small magnetic set.

So here we are at Easter, and things are not great. But they will be great again in May. Right?

yeah, but here hospitals have been begging for donations. ‘merica!

Meh, let's move whenever. Fuck that other idea.

I may try to couch my moves with literary references. Maybe it will be amusing. Maybe not. But I'm having some creative fucking fun.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, it was g1 where the Knight began, it was f3 where it next went, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

lmao i almost wrote "b1" and "c3" BUT NO.

that was a nice quote there.

i might provide later but gotta get some furniture rn

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single bishop in possession of a good fortune at f1, must be in want of a wife at c4.

The chess game was amusing at one point, but now it's just spam, sorry not sorry.

It was a pleasure to burn.

Ok, fuck. I'm trying to keep my mind active during this crazy time. But goddammit, I'm only talking Covid here, and playing chess in that chess thread, Symbols. Sorry.

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

turn this thread back to endless bitching and moaning about useless politicos then.

i think our game was way more entertaining than the tantrums, and the literary quotes were an A+ move, and i wouldn’t cave like that, but fine if you wanna.

"trying to keep my mind active during this crazy time" was indeed the point. but now let's cry instead because that's the house specialty.

Bf8-c5 for the last word— but if provoked it won’t fucking be

see you on the other side (maybe)
