People Are Starting To Get Cabin Fever!!!

no work.

no school.

people being cooped up.

It has the potential to get really crazy. In the USA 1/3 or more of families rent. 1/3 or more of Americans just lost their jobs. (nearing 100,000,000) so far. 1 hundred million. And many more who's hours got cut drastically.

Though there are eviction freezes in place in many states already. There are so many landlords who will evict anyway.

Yesterday, one of the local grocery stores I was at I got to talking to the manager and he was saying that many people are really afraid there will be ciaos and violence come rent time.

Two weeks ago when the state announced an eviction freeze the local big wig realtors office that owns the majority of rentals here sent out a letter and post it online to all their tenants saying that they will evict even if you have lost your job. There was such immediate public blow back that they retracted it the next day.(Dispite the fact the first couple round of bailouts will go first to them since they are an LLC.)

Many private home owners with rentals have said they will not honor the states no evict temporary law.

The court house is near closed anyway and could not handle a mass evict anyway. So on just the renting front that will be, scary, quite frankly.

I know no one wants to think about stuff like that, I certainly don't want to inject fear or panic, but its things people are talking about more and more as April nears.

We wont really know for sure until nearing mid April.

Cabin fever? I have that now and I was just coming out of my shell for the first time in years. Go figure.

I'm sure many have cabin fever right now.

What is sucking for me is that I have a friend that I started to hang out with. He and his wife are total social butterflies he hates being stuck in (I don't blame him). I happened to be in the same vicinity of someone telling him to stop visiting with every Tom, Dick and Harry and showing up to peoples houses as if nothing in the world is going on. It hurt his feeling pretty bad. But he really needed to hear it. Sucks for me cause he'd become my romping bud to go up into the mountains,rivers beaches ect, and find stuff to make or just explore.

Request--Do You Have The App Video?

petra, would you check and see if atlantis has the app video?.

hi arnold:.

yes, he has the "choose your apps wisely" video and once you see it you will never forget it.

caves

So let me get this straight.........' Choose your apps wisely.'

I don't think this post was/is about Zoom specifically, but I found lots of things about Religions are turning to streaming and zoom is in the forefront. (sorry if I'm commenting this in the wrong spot)(probably could be its own post)idk

Yet they are using Zoom? The same platform many many "Worldly" Religions are using right now?

This might be a good thing to point out to any jws that think the GB (Chose wisely). lol

Interesting....

The Greater Northwest Area is helping by offering access to a Zoom Business account “at a heavily subsidized rate of $50” to local churches in the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest conferences.

“We hope that Zoom will serve as a helpful tool for local churches to continue to meet in groups large and small, in worship and other forms of community,” said the Rev. David Valera, the Pacific Northwest’s executive director of connectional ministries.

There are many more articles on it.

I'm so glad the GB decided to finally blatantly join the ranks of FALSE religion! Again!

Do You Think Trump Is Doing.A Good Job Dealing With The Coronavirus?

by minimus in

jw
friends

who needs a press secretary when the president details what is happening every day to keep us informed?

i think he’s doing a very good job considering what is happening in the usa and the world..

caves

Uzzah-a good leader edifies his experts. He has no background to handle this kind of situation and should be deferring to those with experience, expertise and knowledge while sending out supportive messaging echoing his experts.

If you actually listen to Trump outside of liberal media while he is not fending off dozens and dozens of reporters , he actually does give due credit where credit is due. He has said many times that the scientific experts know way more than he does. He constantly congratulates, and gives accolades to those very people. That gets drowned out by all the left media.

He was elected as a President not a scientist and has said as much.

Also to bring up past Presidents in comparison to how he's handling COVID-19 is a moot point. No one knows how any of them would have handled a global shutdown.

As far as Fauci is concerned, Fauci himself has said in interviews that the media is trying to pit the president against him when no such thing is occurring. On that note I suppose when Fauci is relieved of his duty people will say Trump fired him because (insert fake sensationalist liberal narrative) here.

I think it pretty dang benevolent of him to have just signed the bill the Democrats held up knowing it still gives the Dems what they wanted for the sake of moving the country forward.

If humans want to ever truly explore and THRIVE in space and on other planets, a global government will be necessary at some point.

As far as this virus, idk.

And as unpopular as this may be (especially to UK and North American way of thinking) We already are "global". Other wise we wouldn't outsource things to other countries and would have just kept our factories , farming, ect in our own countries.

In my opinion the race governments are in right now is to see who can rise to the top of this "global society".

We aren't there yet. But considering the governments have done a good job at effectively keeping people in place right now, I say its a hell of a start. And a heck of a good way to see where all the 'holes' are.

Probably wont happen in my lifetime, but its coming.

Zoom Can Control My Home Camera? Maybe Some Tech Help Needed.

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

even though i am partially in the it area of business, i don't understand here how people are saying that someone can control a camera through zoom.

so if i am sitting with a shirt and tie, someone on the other end can can control the camera and see that i am naked from the waist down and periodically have an itch?

or quickly move to the side and have a beer?.

caves

As far using zoom in the context of the jws, just tape over your camera while using.

Here are some , but not all of the massive security flaws with zoom. A "regular non tech person" may not be able to "hack your camera" but a fairly novice "hacker could" especially after a quick research and implementation of a few tools on the internet readily available for the common Joe. Since I guarantee the wtbs has a top notch IT department , I would air on the side of caution. Caution not paranoia.

I said this in 2009 about web cameras, and I was vilified for it by the psychiatric facility that I got therapy from. One month later, they all had tape on their cameras, because it hit the news. Along with a huge apology letter to me. I almost sued the shit out of them. The only reason, ONLY, reason was because so many relied on their services. My attorney was angry I didn't press forward. Anyway, that was a little different but the premise is the same.

Another one of many articles on it.

Do You Support Nancy Pelosi and The Democrats Way of Working On The Coronavirus?

i think the american people need to get help on the coronavirus and leave it at that!

Tiki-The current administration is driven by corporate greed.

The response to the pandemic has been slow and the CDC has been facing hurdles stymying their efforts.

~~My personal favorite-~~ Liberal means live and let live...respect the lives of others. Treat people with dignity and allow them their freedom to live the best life they can. It has nothing to do with stupidity or ignorance.

"Government" is driven by corporate greed. What an ignorant statement.

CDC, would have faced these hurdles no matter what administration.

Liberal means live and let live? Really?

No. It mean do as we say not as we do. It means if you don't agree with us you are a part of the problem "we liberals" created. It means we want you to fit inside labeled boxes and if you don't we will force you on the streets (but give you places to shoot up for free) because that "our" version of "helping". It means using the word tolerance itself as a double bind "we liberals created" to vilify anyone that doesn't agree with it. It means that liberals are hypocrites that scream the loudest.

It means that 'I'll just take these herbal cures and snake oil prescriptions by an untrained 'herbalist" to cure my breast cancer". "But when my titty falls off, I wont be able to understand why the herbal treatment over proven science didn't work". Then will rush to the doctor and use all the modern medicine to get rid of the cancer. Touting how herbs cured it. "hypocrite".

It means customers paying for plastic bags at the store in the name of "Protecting the environment" and getting government kickbacks because of it. Then vilifying those that go ahead and use them, like you do. While using those 'Kickbacks' to line your pocket. Then throwing those plastic bags away that end up in the ocean anyway.

I could go on and on and on.

_______________________________________________

As far as Pelosi, she just exposed herself in a way the public will not forget. She's held up the Senate for the "liberal agenda" yet again. Wasting precious time during a pandemic costing lives. Yet she advances she's for the people. She is now translucent! When minutes and lives mattered she showed that she could not be trusted in the most acute of times. All the things that she tried to sneak in the bill could and should have been addressed at another time. Not during a global pandemic affecting the world wide economy.

So how is that "live and let live"? Its not.
