For information purposes only, I don't wanna discuss it here: The Great Reset
Check it out before S'witter takes it down (they're already trying to scare you away with a 'sensitive content' "warning").

People Drawn to Conspiracy Theories Share a Cluster of Psychological Features
Baseless theories threaten our safety and democracy. It turns out that specific emotions make people prone to such thinking
There are a number of things that have gone that in retrospect, were disgusting. One of which is the annual 'Roll Up the Rim' promotion at Tim Hortons. It was perfectly normal to roll up the rim of your coffee cup with your teeth, and if you won a coffee, tear it off and give it to the Tim's employee, who in turn put it in their till with the money.
Clippers are all you need for any cut. I've been the family barber for a while now and only use Wahl Magic Clips for layering, fading, thinning, buzzcuts, etc.
Sure, laugh it off. It's not unexpected, your response.HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

It's mighty inaccurate, though. That's coming from the horse's own mouth, so you can't call it a conspiracy whatever so that you don't have to think about what's being said and continue to enjoy Netflix as you puff on your favourite blend.
That's the same guy, head of the WEF going on record for CNBC, a network you could hardly accuse of being into 'conspiracies':
Regardless, I didn't post that to wake up the sleepers (who love their sleep), or to suggest we band up and defeat them, or that you vote one way or another... The point I tried to, well, point at is that whether we like it or not, agree with it or not, find out the real causes or actors or not, the world has been irreversible changed by this 'crisis'. We're being continuously told that we'll get through and over it, that this too will pass, that it's a passing phase, that we'll go 'back to "normal" '... but that's just the carrot being used to pull the donkey down the road.
In a nutshell, societies have been irreversibly changed by now. Anyone who thinks we'll go back to the way things were a year ago—no lockdowns, no health scares, back to ordering tons of tins of tobacco and dozens of pipes online, &c., &c.—is fooling himself. The new ways of doing business, the fears of touching surfaces, the no more handshakes, the endless fear of passers-by, the new bylaws, et al. will not go away.
The very topic of this thread confirms it. And the head of the WEF himself re-confirms it when he says that industries such as health and IT will come out of this the stronger, whilst others will fall by the wayside. That's the 'expert' himself talking.
The point of my info bit was to make the fact that the world will not be the same sink in, so that smart people plan accordingly.
Some have already: all the big cellars we see pics of here all the time. It, however, goes beyond cellaring tobacco.
You need to share your techniques for self-barbering. I've been thinking of going chrome dome, but not keen on it, really. ?
Yes the world has and is changing but it’s not some engineered conspiracy. It’s a lot more simple than that. It’s a network of dipwads and fuckups the world over not being able to band together or even have any type of common sense throughout this whole thing. I wish I could blame it on people being as smart as the conspiracy side suggests, but I highly doubt it. Why? Because people are stupid, and those in power are people. Which, in turn, makes them stupid.
Still missing the point. I'm not concerned here with why or how, but with 'what now'?
The real myth is 'we'll go back to normal'.
Based on that assurance, what now? What am **I** (or we, in the case of families) gonna do in the face of the so-called 'new normal'? Will I still go for that liberal arts degree? Do I have a future majoring in this area or not? Should I replace the car which still runs fine now? Should I invest my spare and hard-earned money here or there? Should I buy more of this and less of that? Should I cancel my digital entertainment subscriptions and spend the money on stuff that's likely to be unavailable later (like tobacco, but not limited to)?
In the face of the implementation of a cashless system? Should I finish cellaring now since tobacco sales are gonna be tracked and/or banned? Buy gold or metals?
In the face of the much vaunted 'second wave', should I be going to the dentist now or wait till the next lockdown makes it impossible to get check-ups or treatment? Should I take care of those medical appointments now or defer them?
Should I get off my lazy ass and take control of the little I can control? Or should I wait for the gov't to come rescue me?
Image shews not.It's actually quite liberating, though I prefer to keep it like this.
Barber here, I think it's working by appointment only, but I'm worried that if there's another lockdown he'll be forced to close.
Would be useful to know what stuff I need to do my own hair. All I have right now are mirrors!
A good trimmer, a set of guards #.5-"8, a handheld mirror, a comb, and a water misting bottle are my basics.Image shews not.

You also use a straight razor, don't you? I've been thinking about buying one given the possibility of disposable Schicks becoming unavailable.
Historychannel.com has an article: 10 pandemics that changed history. The stories behind them are very interesting. I imagine during previous pandemics people wondered if their life could ever get back to the way it was before.
And for people who deserve it!... ?
I totally agree with this one!
I also want to add that the stupid people are taking advantage of the situation, for money and power.
Theres too much momentum with this one though.. I do believe it's very different. Thats just MHO.
