Monday Overnight Open Thread (4/6/20) Kung Flu Link Free Edition

Quote I

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. Vaclav Havel

Quote II

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. Arthur Schopenhauer

Quote III

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. Saint Augustine

Quote IV

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.' C. S. Lewis

Lighten up Sugar Tits.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry officially stopped being senior members of the British royal family on Wednesday months after they announced their decision to step away and move to North America. Now, Meghan is reportedly planning to make her return to acting, but she’s determined to only do so on her terms.

An inside source told Daily Mail that Meghan, 38, only wants to work with A-list directors in the hopes that she will secure a breakout role that will finally get her taken seriously as an actress. She is reportedly worried that critics will be especially hard on her, so she wants to make sure that only the best of the best directors are attached to her projects.

The source said that Meghan has “been telling her agents that she wants Ava DuVernay involved, and that they need to find the right script.” While Meghan has already been flooded with offers, the insider said that “she thinks the majority of them are cheesy and beneath her.”

Here is the Horde's opportunity to cast Meghan and create the movie titles she could/should star in.

Good attorneys always know the answer to their questions. But what about stunts?

This Lawyer Fell Out A Skyscraper Window To His Death While Trying To Prove It Was Unbreakable

On July 9, 1993, Toronto lawyer Garry Hoy was doing his favorite party trick: hurling himself at his office's windows to show their strength. But this time, his stunt failed.

Sure. This is handy now. But it will also be handy when everybody is home the next time.

Chances are, your home internet is under a lot more strain than normal at the moment: With schools and workplaces temporarily closing all across the globe, you might well be fighting with your family or your housemates for any available bandwidth.

What banana bread can teach us about selflessness and love.

Kids will be kids. And authoritarians will be authoritarians.

Oh to be young and in love, or not.

This one was just too hilarious to ignore, although I’m guessing she doesn’t think so,

My bf (21M) really wants to live in a van after graduation and I (19F) dont know how to tell him that I’m not sure if I want to.

Ive been dating my bf for over a year now, and we get along really well. However, these past few weeks my bf has gotten really into the idea of buying a van, remodeling and traveling the world when we graduate in two years. All he does now is watch van life videos, car repair videos, and other travel vlogs in way of preparation. He has the make a model of the camper van he’s going to buy all planned out, as well has the company he plans on hiring to refurbish it. He’s also starting to passively aggressively judge me for not prepping for the van life with him, saying that he shouldn’t be the only one planning all of this. The thing is, I never explicitly told him that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him in a van. Im guessing he assumed so because we have been camping several times in the past and both really enjoyed it. I might have expressed support for his desires to be a nomad in the past, but never any direct affirmation.

A RANDY couple were caught on camera "having sex" in a London park by a passing jogger during the coronavirus lockdown.

The female runner was out jogging as temperatures soared on Saturday when she spotted two people lying in long grass in South Norwood Country Park, Croydon.

She stopped and filmed 13 seconds of the encounter - and said she was furious with the "disgusting" couple.

"At 2pm, during my afternoon jog, I spotted two morons having sex by the woodlands in South Norwood Country Park," she said.

"It was in plain sight and children were around.

"So much for staying home and saving lives.

"Disgusting."
