Added to my list of movies to watch.
I suppose that is in the eye of the beholder. I dont have a lot of money, but I have all the power to control how my life goes. I donât have a mortgage or children, and I have the skills to live off of the land (for how long is another topic, lol). âI ainât hiding from nobody, and nobodyâs been hiding from meâ.
Who are âtheyâ?
âTodayâs absurdities are tomorrowâs realitiesâ⊠I have not seen the âNetworkâ, but it sounds on point, in the same fashion as Orwellâs 1984.
GuysâŠplease stop typing âtrumpâ in your responsesâŠIâm getting a lot of trump propaganda addsâŠ
Iâm here to talk comics and pandemicsâŠelection can wait till fall.
That should be a YouTube show, âComics & Pandemics.â
Click the X on the ad and Tellâem ya donât want to see it no more. 
SorryDrogio, I wont type Trump anymore. Or President. Or Democratic party.
Would prefer no mention of either side.
I was half joking actuallyâŠjust seemed weird once the conversation starting heading down the politics path I got those addsâŠmaybe it was coincidence.
Plus I discovered how to capture a shot of my screen and make it a photoâŠso I was playing around with that feature.
No worrys. just having alittle fun on a sunday night 
reading about the tiger in NYC getting the virus. This bug is batshit crazy. i can see NYC getting this agian due to the rat population. How scary is that.
CDC hasnât concluded or has enough data that it spreads that easy from animals or pets. Iâd imagine if rats (or other animals) can get it, they would have gotten it long ago and if they can spread it easily, the entire world would be infected by now.
For all we know, someone screwed up the testing for the cat in NYC that is reported to have it or the test was contaminated.
I do not agree with this. The virus is too new and there are too many unknowns to just toss a blanket âthe entire world would be infected by now.â Rats, cats and dogs donât travel the world and socializing with other groups as much as humans do. Not even close.
I would argue that animals have a different or maybe more robust immune system defense and therefore the virus may not transmit to or from them as easily, but needs to be verified/studied more. But to say just because they arenât spreading it means they canât get it has not been proven, and not supported with enough physical evidenceâŠyet.
Need more Science cowbell on this one!!
And to spin this thread back to comics during vivid-19âŠIve been eying some books on eBay lately that are a little above my price pointâŠmostly buy it nowsâŠhoping the sellers will need some immediate cash and send me a
an offer I canât refuseâŠhow many of you are doing the same?
Iâve actually been able to move some old inventory too, surprisingly, despite not adding anything new. No big sales, but a few dollars here and there adds up and gets me closer to adding to my âwant listâ.
You misread what I was trying to imply. And yes, if humans and animals could transfer this virus and rats (or birds, any animal) could get it, rats touch the same things humans touch and rats and critters carry diseases from one location to the next. So yes, if they were transmitting the disease, I think it would far more wide spread. I was exaggerating when I said the whole world would be infected⊠but it would be far more spread than it is now. Youâre wrong when you say animals donât socialize.
From Wikipedia (some rats colonize in groups of up to 30-50 rats)⊠Iâd say thatâs socializing in the rat worldâŠ
Food and shelter
Rats only require an ounce (28 grams) of food and water a day to live.[14] Rats primarily find food and shelter at human habitations and therefore interact with humans in various ways. In particular, the cityâs rats adapt to practices and habits among New Yorkers for disposing of food waste. Curbside overnight garbage disposal from residences, stores, subway and restaurants, as well as littering, contribute to the sustenance of the cityâs rats.[15] Rats nearly always use the same routes to their food sources.[9] Rat infestations have increased as a result of budget reductions and more wasteful disposal of food.
Rats burrow underground or create nests in suitable soft material, with a small group of rats in each nest.[9] Brown rats prefer to live at ground level or below.[12] They congregate in colonies of 30 to 50 rats.[9][16] Rats live 100 feet (30 m) to 400 feet (120 m) from their food source.[14]
Yeah, never let a good Pandemic go to waste ⊠especially when people need money âŠ
Completely switching gears here, but Iâm noticing a ton of folks/shops/fb sellers all trying to utilize the friends and family route. Iâve no dog in the game, but I am a bit fearful that it is going to bite some people in the ##@. I donât know if some of the comic shop owners I see trying to get by, understand that Paypal can come down on them very harshly (and Iâve seen it happen). Not my place to tell them, and Iâm happy to pay them that routeâŠbutâŠ
Asking folks to pay for pull list books, varied online means such as raffles, auctions, etcâŠand having payments via friends and family is def going to hit paypals radar.
Maybe in this situation paypal can care lessâŠbut the all mighty dollar like takes priority over compassion. Thoughts?
You would think it would, but paypal only looks at these when reported. The down side is that when paypal finally catchâs on, everyone will feel it as they will institute a fee for everything.
Gotcha! Interesting and wasnât sure on their policies (other than you arenât âsupposedâ to use it for goods and buyers have zero recourse if swindled when using it.
Thought maybe a sudden influx of use would send a red flag as like I said, Iâve know some individuals who had their paypals suspected over improper use of it.
Itâs not Paypal Iâd be worried about if caught sending as friends and family, itâs if they ever get audited by the IRS if they donât claim this money as income is where itâs gonna really bite them in the buttâŠ
I only do Friends and Family if youâre actually my friend or my family. That way I know where you live.
That sounded more threatening than I meant.
