some have complained about "new normal"
I'm really really tired of the misuse of "unprecedented" - completely misused and overused by the governor of taxachusetts. (folks, COVID-19 is not an unprecedented virus)

One more “Be safe” and someone’s going to get throat punched.

Correct. The reaction is unprecedented but the virus is not.
Also, “job loss caused by the virus”. No, most of the job loss was caused by forced shut down.

“Shelter in place”. I’m going to punch the next person that says this.

I thought it was “social distancing” that triggered you. Of course I have multiple trigger words too. MMGW is just one (four) of them.

It certainly triggers me.

"echo chamber" almost qualifies, especially when snowflakes complain about a forum but the don't have the courage of their convictions to defend them.

Yes, multiple words. MMGW certainly is one.

Let’s just summarize them all. I mean, “we’re all in this together,” right?
Well worth all 3:41.

They serve beer by the pitcher. ;D

Don't get me started on that bullshit. A "pitcher" nowadays used to be called a "mug".

Has that shrunk too? I haven’t got a pitcher of beer since 1981.

One seems to be circulating around here ... “You’re Not Alone.”
At first, whatevs. Now, it feels like the slogans are just keeping us all aware that we’re being controlled by the Demonrat Borg governor and his Demonrat majority minions.
I’m busting out wherever I can ... bought some books yesterday from a local store that opened against state orders.

Yeah, "New Normal" can be irritating, but hey, it is unprecedented times. Never in our lives have we had to social distance like this and shelter inplace for so long. For certain, the future is uncertain and we live in trying times.
Be safe and keep your toilet paper handy.

At the end of the day...

60 oz pitcher at Regina's. It is what we used to chug them at the Dixie Chicken in College Station. 72 seconds was my record.
Now most pitchers are a lot smaller. Including the place in the parking lot at Gruenhagen dorms at OSH. I am going to miss drinking beer there with my friends this year.

I saw one of those electronic highway message signs that said "Practice safe vehicle distance"
good grief....

I'm guessing that is for vehicular accidents, not Virus malarkey. I could be wrong. But, yeah, like the McD's coffee cup saying "Contents is Hot". Duh!

yeah, it's for driving safety, not the covid-19 PANIC. Someone is just trying to be f'n "cute"... in the words of Jay Leno "Shut Up!"

add to the list:
pivot or pivoted (as in such and such company pivoted to change some of their manufacturing capacity to make PPE)
buzzword bingo!

add:
"bring the fight to COVID-19"

That last one was Obama’s favorite. Ironically, that is the LAST thing any of these race hustlers want to happen.
They don’t want a conversation. They want a lecture. They want submission. They want subservience. Hey want obedience.
How do you converse with the angry mob?

Exactly. They want to lecture and DICTATE to you. Dare not disagree with even 1% of their views or suffer their wrath. Have a discussion or have a "conversation" mean the same thing. Capitulation and Submission to the Left.
Obama also loved the word, "Unprecedented". Everything he did or tried to do was "unprecedented". Ahh, not it wasn't. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and other Totalitarian Oppressors said and did a lot of the same stuff.

Shoot me now.
Whatever color you are, there are times to speak up and times to be silent. There is never a time for artificially raising one color or gender, because it artificially lowers others.

Leaders from nine groups said they felt compelled to join forces following the death of George Floyd and other high-profile violent events targeting black Americans that have illustrated the complex constellation of issues facing our nation. The series, Courageous Conversations, is an attempt to address these issues head-on.
NINE Black Men were killed by Police last years. I guarantee they deserved it. Floyd did not deserve to die, but he was a violent career criminal and FELON and should have been in jail. So, all the Black men arrested each year in the U.S. and one dies. This is what this huge uproar is about.
I was an AOPA member for 25 years and this confirms why I let my membership lapse. Although with all the crap mail and email they send me I felt like I never left. Having a terrorist organization like Black Lives Matter on this page is a DEAL BREAKER. Guess they want to market to the younger, WOKE, brain dead people.

This would almost be palatable if they didn’t have the terrorist group Black Lives Matter on the screen. And what the fuck does Floyd have to do with diversity in the aerospace industry?

Kind of related... companies are purging all references that might be offensive to someone. Microsoft Github is removing all references to master / slave in programming. Also whitelist / blacklist, white hat / black hat. This shit is out of control.

Cultural PURGE. Pol Pot would be proud.

Except... nobody is purging references that offend white people, Christians, conservatives, or pro life Americans. Attacking, discriminating against, firing without cause, or beating,killing, robbing us is just fine for the progressive fuckbags.

I hope they remove all references to "left-handed complement"...

And now getting rid of Aunt Jemima. Uncle Ben will probably be next. What is this world coming to? Thankfully Mrs Butterworth is OK.

Well, we're not as easily offended, but yes the majority no longer MATTER.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/media-race-to-capitalize-b-for-black-keep-w-for-whites-lowercase
America’s press is rushing to show its support and sensitivity for the movement led by Black Lives Matter by capitalizing "Black" while keeping “white” lowercase.
USA Today and its network of 260 media outlets announced the plan in the last week. It is also a style policy in other newsrooms, including NBC News, the Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Sun-Times, and some expect the Associated Press to follow soon.
“Black is an ethnic designation; white merely describes the skin color of people who can, usually without much difficulty, trace their ethnic origins back to a handful of European countries,” it said.
CJR added, “This all makes for a good start, but it will mean nothing if white Americans don’t make an effort to understand the whys and wherefores — which is to say, the history that delivered us to this precise point in time. That, of course, will be a taller order than simply asking them to capitalize one little letter.”

“Black is an ethnic designation; white merely describes the skin color of people who can, usually without much difficulty, trace their ethnic origins back to a handful of European countries,” it said.
So "Black" is an ethnic designation where people can trace their ethnic origins to a handful of African countries, but "white" is an ethnic designation where people can trace their ethnic origins to a handful of European countries. Got it.

Agreed. When everything is "racist" it weakens the word when it is applied appropriately.

"We are experiencing higher than normal call volume"
Then why do they say this any time of day, any day of week and any month of the year?
"Please listen to the entire message as our options have recently changed".
What do they mean by "recently"? In one case I know I have been hearing the same message sin 1998.

I only had the perfect landing once. I fell off the bar stool right onto a drunk chick who had fallen right before I did.
