Humane? Considerate? You’re dreaming

You know as well as most of us do. Hope is a sucker’s game. Some things will change for awhile. But sooner or later most people will fall back into their old habits and profit must always be made. In the end, we’ll have learned next to nothing. 

If buffet/all you can eat places do go away forever, the one place I’ll miss is called Spring Shabu Shabu in Flushing. It’s hotpot, cook at your table. Because it used to always be packed, the place was great: you’d eat and get a steam facial.  Granted it was broth steam....

Airlines got into wars with EACH OTHER about marginal profitability, leading to such cost-shaving measures.

. . . or the salad bar, once a solid deli/grocery store standby, but now a virus petri dish.

Nope; airlines only make money if they pack them in like sardines.  Before they take out middle seats, they’ll fit all the passengers into full body condom type plastic outfits, and charge extra for it.

Ugh, yes. I actually was just ranting to my boyfriend this morning over breakfast about how my newest Quarantine Qualm (something repeated ad nauseum during all of this) are these vague, subjective, doomsday statements of “well life as we know it will never really be the same.” Like...what does that mean?

“And guess what, after November 3, coronavirus will magically, all of a sudden, go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.”

It’s been so long, I forget what normal is.

“But he’s also having a lot of confidence issues with not being allowed to work. Begging my spouse to be turned on by me is the biggest boner killer and marriage ruiner in the world so I’ll take my once a week marriage sex and keep getting the rest of my fix somewhere else.”

I thought that was Jim Belushi for more a than a second.

The thing about gestational surrogates is you can’t pretend like your children weren’t meticulously planned. So all those souls Kim is responsible for? She took deliberate steps to acquire the responsibility.  And she can afford as much help as she wants with it, too, so I’m not feeling very bad for her, honestly.

I am also yelling at Kanye all the time

Try watching again and focus on his neck. I was shocked when I accidentally noticed my old-ass neck in a mirror. I never understood why Nora Ephron actually called a book “I Hate My Neck” until I turned 50!

The first one had more laughs. I did enjoy Kate McKinnon’s cat adoption sketch, though.
