How has COVID-19 affected your mongering?

To be frank, as someone who has spent much time in several major US cities over the past year and some change: NYC is the exception, not the rule. Public transport, even or perhaps especially in more notoriously rich and left leaning cities, is a bad joke at best. The only major city in California that can claim to have anything resembling functional public transport is LA, and even then, it's only in certain areas.

Our insistence on not investing in infrastructure has strangely paid off in a big way with this though. Under normal circumstances (who knows what those will even be from here on out), America is a bad joke of an industrialized nation compared to many of its peers; but currently, our vaguely second world country is mostly doing pretty well. Strictly speaking, you can even try free healthcare right now: just don't pay your medical bills and shoot anyone who comes to collect on sight. What are they gonna do, call the cops?

The future is here, and it's dragging us along kicking and screaming.
 
Valid observation, but it also depend where in the states you are. If you're holed up in some small, buttfuck Midwest town then yeah, you're definitely better off than anywhere in Japan, as far as I'm concerned. But if you're anywhere near NYC or a surrounding location that thousands of NYers are fleeing to and bringing with them smaller outbreaks, I'd rather take my chances back in Kanda at my favorite bar.

Lucky for me, my current city stateside has virtually sealed itself off to most of the outside world, enacted near draconian measures to keep people home and there's very, very limited transportation means for outsiders to enter. It also helps that we've got next to nothing in terms of public transportation. We've got only a few hundred documented infections and today was the first day that the number of new cases has dropped, so hopefully we've reached that so-called peak and are on our way down. I think it does help that warmer weather has already set in here (it's 85F right now) while my buddy in Tokyo just sent me pics of his kids playing in the snow and the East Coast is still fucking freezing.

But like any decent, insecure American, I'm ready for the apocalypse. I've got a stash of 3M N95 vented respirator masks (and everyone called me stupid for stockpiling them), gallons of generic French Costco Vodka and more firepower than a 1980s Waco compound. If my demise is coming in the form of marauding looters, I'm more than prepared to go out like Tony Montana, and if it's death by this virus, at least I'll go out with a nut-busting bang, drunk and numb as fuck and having a so-long wank with Miran at my home workstation.
Bad boy for hoarding masks... send them to doctors and nurses!
Good boy for buying French vodka though :)

I've been told that the Costco "French" vodka is basically unbranded Grey Goose. No idea, but it tastes fine to me for $20/bottle. But we aren't too worried about masks here. The numbers are still low, the hospital staff have way more PPE than they need and we're basically just hanging out and waiting for this to blow over.

I've been locked inside for 3 weeks with no contact with any friends.

My fav health place has a lovely 19 yr old who seems like she would be a lot of fun from her diary. I'm trying to talk myself into going and see her, no kissing, just hugs and a BJ, surely with all that soap it would be safe. So far I've resisted.

You are literally locked inside your place? Like China-style locked up?
Edit: Oh. I read the 2nd line, so you're not forced to be indoors. You do have a personal choice.

Yeah, figure of speech. We went to WFH early and I haven't left my neighborhood at all. In our team, those with family think WFH is great, those of us that are orphans hate it.

I’ve been work from home for 8 weeks now! Only people I interact with are my supermarket and Lawson cashiers. Desperate to get out and share an orgasm :)

not going to happen anytime soon
I agreed. I went offline from it all at the beginning of March. Way too soon. Now that C19 is finally getting recognized as a concern, we probably have another 2 months to go.

I’m not so sure about that. I would love to have a second place where I could just chill on my own. A lot...

Compare and contrast the difference in what we both said. Having a second place to go to when you choose is a very different matter to being isolated for 4 weeks.

I have been isolated for 2 wks, home for another 6 wks with my significant other. Now I’d actually like a bit of isolation I could enjoy.

There is a big difference between what we want which I think is acceptable to talk about here and what we do responsibly which I think everyone here does. I can want something but know I have to wait for it.

Just saw on the news that some Kyabukura are now using Zoom for virtual sessions. The girl will dress up like she is in the club and the background is set as a inside of the club.

Might be difficult for many clients to use though since they are stuck at home with the wife.

... unless the wife is doing same in the next room with a different PC connected to her favorite host

Please, I wish my other half had this sorta hobby and gave me some quality alone time on Pornhub. I've been trying to exercise at different times so I might squeeze in a Miran reunion while she's jogging but it hasn't worked out very well. And we're coming up on week three of the state-issued lockdown. I'm bored out of my fucking mind. Getting shitfaced on cheap sparkling wine, having drunken intercourse on the balcony and then passing out watching Donnie Brasco for the tenth time with a prosciutto & cheese tray is getting really old. Might go up to the roof of my tower with a gin-tonic and cigar and watch other bored couples fuck for a change. I'm tired of TOFTT and putting on the Saturday night show.

Did you try reading the kama-sutra with her and doing new positions ?
Or playing poker or monopoly with her? or I dunno.. cooking together?

This sounds funny enough that I would almost be intrigued in trying, but I have one question. How does the virtual whisky/shochu work?;)

We decided to change things up by watching a black drama series on Netflix, which didn't turn out well because it gets my ebony-itch going and I can't fix that with an enthusiastic Pornhub session. But in the end, nothing a few vodka-sodas and an application of Preparation-H can't fix.
 
Would that be any different from what they usually do at the shop? ;) Do they send my drinks via Uber?

All jokes aside. Last thing you want is the them having your home address and credit card info. In the States there’s been an uptick in fraud and theft with people home.

Japanese collectively aren’t that street smart. I’m sure some salaryman is going to be convinced he got one of them pregnant by jerking off onto his monitor.

Found the website. The girls look pretty good. The girl interviewed on tv was cute.

http://www.zoomcaba.net/top/

3000 yen an hour and 2000 yen for nomination fee. Supply your own drinks. Price is reasonable but need to give them your Line and pay by Line pay.
 
If you get bored and your Japanese listening or typing is good enough, you can try dmm's adult chat. Even if your language skills are limited, there are set phrases you can click on, or yiu can peek in on chats in action.
