We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Does he preach 'the end is near' and shit? :drink:

Fire and brimstone?

Advocate for the homeless?

He has me intrigued. :D

I'd rather party with Matt Gaetz than Hunter Biden
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

rightly so, although I agree more notice needs to be given the rules are applied to all.

But i would prefer Dr. B and her squad go after the restaurants that are causing issues vs. every one. If Whistler and Big White were problems then shut them down. I went to a local restaurant right before the latest shut down and they followed all the protocols so why are they being punished?

If the lockdown never ends, I'll reconsider.
I had a conversation with an acquaintance in the public health sector about 20 years ago. I was trying to make a simple the simple point that if we could extend life expectancy or reduce risks all the way up to spending 100% of the nation's GDP, we wouldn't do it. Because there's more to life. She stared at me blankly. Public health is everything, right?

It doesn't take a conspiracy to notice that there are tradeoffs in all of the policy & enforcement. There are lines we wouldn't go past to have a marginal risk reduction on something something that isn't going to wipe out the human race (or anything close to that). Our lines are different, but they are there.

Has anyone on here been vaccinated yet?

Do you know which one? Do they tell you?

Is this private information and I shouldn’t ask?

"Hunter Biden admits he used to smoke parmesan cheese because it resembled crack"

Sometimes he snorted it as well, what a cheesehead...

Oh right, right, right, right, right, right, right.

It was only after folks mocked him for wanting to be Eric Close that he said he's Steve McQueen.

what's going on in Russia?
Russian forces are building to launch an offensive against Ukraine. They're augmenting the substantial army of occupation Russia already has in the east of Ukraine. Russia's 1st & 2nd Army Corps in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts have more tanks than any single European country does.

I got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on March 30th. I asked which vaccine I was going to get, when the appointment was booked, and they told me. No side effects. I guess this is one time it's worth it to be older :roll:
