I just think it's so great that the liquor stores never shut down (well in my state, anyway,)
Yeah absolutely. It shows just how essential booze really is.

I just read a comment online about somebody who loves the whole home delivery grocery and other stuff delivery is, and lamenting that their state does not allow delivery of alcohol. I am so glad I live in a civilized state. Signed, Never runs out of bourbon her whole life.

Yes, I once made an order from BEV-MO, they delivered, the guy said I must be having a huge party, I was just stocking up, the bill was a little over 900$US

This is an odd observation...

Common litter used to be plastic water bottles, disposable cups, and even diapers.

Throughout this "pandemic, I've noticed a new form of litter. Masks. Disposable paper masks, fancy etsy-purchased masks, and those with company logos printed on them. I now see them in every shopping center parking lot, in public landscaping, on sidewalks, and laying in gutters.

And, for some reason, I have started noticing a large number of airline size booze bottles. Not sure if this one has anything to with the COVID, but it is definitely a new thing.

Without bars a lot of people have taken to public drinking, the small bottles may be a sign of that, in my area bars are offering cocktails to go

Yes and add that to "Shit We Hate" because I find littering vile behavior. Especially a disgusting mask. Diapers too! Gross! More importantly however, the shit that ends up in the oceans that poor sea creatures choke on or get tangled in. Despicable and careless behavior.

I have seen the masks laying around in parking lots the most- especially at the grocery stores - but here they have trash bins at the shopping cart return (because people have to return their carts to get their coin back) so I'm sure that cuts down a lot of rubbish at least. It is too much to ask to not make mask littering a "thing"? Sheesh.

Here's news for all you maskholes out there. Breathing thru synthetic fiber masks from China all day will introduce toxic nanofibers into your lungs and they will stay like asbestos.

The fact that because this ship goes to China, and China requires quarantine for all arriving ships, after long beach, no one is allowed ashore

That means all the chinese hookers have to come aboard. Be gentle and have a seperate room for them to freshen up in. But also keep an eye on em while they shower so they don't steal potatos

That's pretty goofy shit. In the U.S. it's beer til 2am, then you're free to but again at 8am (at least in my state) all seven days of the week. Although I'm sure somewhere there's some fuckery going on with Sunday drinking.
