My Self-Isolation Quarantine Diary

IS THIS YOU, yet? H/T TN Deplorable

The world is full of thin skinned little pricks. Once again it is better to keep your opinions to yourself.

The mayor of Japan's Osaka has come under fire for suggesting men should do grocery shopping during the coronavirus outbreak because women are indecisive and "take a long time."

Japan is under a state of emergency over the pandemic, and residents in some areas have been asked to shop less frequently and only send one family member out to get supplies to limit contact.

Osaka Mayor Ichiro Matsui told reporters on Thursday that men should be entrusted with grocery runs because women "take a long time as they browse around and hesitate about this and that," Kyodo news agency reported.

"Men can snap up things they are told (to buy) and go, so I think it's good that they go shopping, avoiding human contact," the 56-year-old added.

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. The world's best whiskeys.

I like The Who. I like Weird Al, I like Weird Al playing The Who.

Give it a listen, I think you'll at least grin.

Sure my hair cut appointment was canceled. However there is a reason man invented caps and hats.

As hair salons and barbershops are still closed in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, people are taking matters into their own hands. Lucky for us, they are sharing the results of their haircuts on social media, proving just once again that hairdressers exist for a reason.

From poorly done fades to bald patches on the back of the head, these quarantine haircut fails are all kinds of hilarious. So scroll down below to see some unfortunate lockdown haircuts and vote for the ones that made you laugh (or relate)!

Just one more reason to appreciate Walmart. Yes, Walmart’s grocery delivery service will now deliver alcohol to your house

WAVY) — Walmart stores across Virginia and North Carolina that already offer grocery online ordering and delivery are also offering another benefit — but only to those 21 and older.

Under local laws, Walmart grocery now allows for the delivery of beer and wine.

Here’s how Grocery Delivery works, according to Walmart:

To double space or not to double space? That is the question. And here's the answer.

Microsoft has settled the great space debate, and sided with everyone who believes one space after a period is correct, not two. The software giant has started to update Microsoft Word to highlight two spaces after a period (a full stop for you Brits) as an error, and to offer a correction to one space. Microsoft recently started testing this change with the desktop version of Word, offering suggestions through the Editor capabilities of the app.

If you’re still (strangely) on the two-spacer side, you will be able to ignore the suggestion. The Editor feature in Word allows users to ignore the suggestion once, make the change to one space, or turn off the writing-style suggestion. We understand Microsoft has been testing the feature change recently and it will roll out to everyone using the desktop version of Word soon. Feedback to the change has been overwhelmingly positive.

Sometimes I swear people name their pets better names than their babies.
