Holy Bonneville salt flats Bat Man. He saw a fox!
open the inquisition.

This affair surely measures highly elevated boredom levels resulting from the ongoing social distancing.

and then I find I am taken to back room with dim lights. A group of figures surround me and someone says ,"It has been reported that you have failed so see evil intentions where your loyalty requires you to be alert. You have sympathized with seeing a fox."

Yes yes its true , foxes are good looking and I shared a simple human moment of enjoying seeing one. More importantly however I have so many Peterson relatives that I get confused sometimes and loyalty gets tangled up. don't judge me too harshly I implore.

I feel some sympathy for Dr. P. I really, really, really want a vacation. I am sooooo tired of being in this lockdown nightmare. I bet if I were DCP, I would have folded and gone on vacation by now. If.

But I am not DCP. That said, I can really see how one would end up making that decision. I don't support it as the right decision, but I can see how a person gets there from my own experience feeling cooped up, depressed, and desperate to get out and see something different.
Yeah. I have that wildlife running through our property and I'm less than 5 minutes from a mountain view, I basically live in a Forest retreat camp and even I want to get out of here some days!

I was supposed to go to Florida in April, then back to the UK and Rep. of Ireland in September. Yeah. Not happening.

Counting my blessings though...

:lol:

Like I said previously, red foxes are stupid. They could have easily seen one that close to them. He's welcome to come camp on our property and see all that stuff. It's been done before. ;-)

I admit it: times are hard. I sure do wish that I could take a summer vacation.
You could. DCP did. Bit jealous?

I know I’m an outsider here, but gosh, do you have to nit pick this man to death?

Geez.

Most people coming into this board fresh/new wouldn’t even know who you’re talking about, let alone why you have such a crush on him. :lol:

I will tell you the truth. Today I cried over the stupid dresses I bought for my stupid trip to Florida that is not happening because of the stupid virus. I decided I better just wear them here. Probably sounds silly to cry over dresses but there was supposed to be memories made in those.

That's a low blow, MG.

How about, rather, you confess *your* homosexual experiences you've had or fantasies you've had during your lifetime, MG.

I'm all ears. Spill your guts.

Thanks in advance

You could. DCP did.
That’s true. I could, and he did. But in order for me to go on vacation, I would have to be the sort of amoral scum bag who puts his own pleasure over the health of others. The advice is quite clear, and it makes sense: if you are able to stay home, you should do it.

Dr. Peterson is going to have a very difficult time living this one down.
"[I]f, while hoping that everybody else will be honest and so forth, I can personally prosper through unethical and immoral acts without being detected and without risk, why should I not?." --Daniel Peterson, 6/4/14
