BUZZFEED Has Awful Casual Encounter Section

BUZZFEED Has Awful Casual Encounter Section

IMG_1595.JPG

Vsem privet!

Kak dela, guys, women, republicans, democrats, transgenders, transhumans, cats, dogs, and fans of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace episode? 

It doesn’t matter who you are since everybody would agree with one thing: we LOVE to take tests (except college ones, of course).

My homies from the CCS sent me an article from BUZZFEED called: Quiz: Are You Going To Be In My Quarantine Circle? 

To understand how ridiculous and funny this test is, you should take it yourself. But let me give you the funniest moments from the test.

As everything else in life, the test starts normally. But then…

Are you currently infected with the coronavirus? My answer is NO since I don’t go out so often since Vladimir (not the one you thought about) don’t allow me.

Have your local health authorities said it’s OK to go outside? Not yet, but who cares what they say? I recently visited The Venus Beach and its local crowd acts crazy as usual.

Then this test asks me whether I am his or her parent, cousin, hot neighbor, or has any relation to it? Well, it was kinda disturbing since KGB used to ask caught American spies: “Do you have family, cousins, or any friends? Yes, you said! You won’t see them again, but you’ll get a new family in GULAG”.

Have we dated? Don’t remember. Did we have a romantic vacation in Vienna? I wanted to say no, but then I thought: if it’s you, Lucy, it was all mistake, I wish you the best, and goodbye forever!

After a couple of other questions, I got this: “Forget about it. Am I trying to have sex with you?”.

Well, I don’t mind, but please, be a girl (not you, Mrs. Dollores, and I don’t need any of your tips!).

Will you let me borrow your car, your pool, and weed? Well, babe, I don’t have those, but since you offer me sex, I don’t mind sharing those with you (except Vodka and weed that I also don’t have).

Will spending time with you distract me from the isolated hell time of pandemic life? Yeah, babe, time spent together would be a gift for our memories. I will give you the reddest passion a good communist can give to a woman. I am not like other guys. Da. Da. Da. 

But suddenly I got this.

You got: No! You're not worth including in my quarantine circle!

Sorry! I like you, but not that much. The embers have grown cold, the ties have frayed, and the timber of our friendship has splintered. Whatever the reason, you're not worth including in my newly expanded quarantine circle. Bye forever!

Wow, wow, wow, what the fu*k you just said? Are kidding me? How that even impossible? And after everything, I have done (I mean, the things I could do to you if we could have sex) you said no? Охуеть! Fu*k you 1 000 000 million of times! You just everybody else, you just want to take my money! Дура, you don’t even to whom you said no! By the way… you are so ugly. Просто уродина. Even 10 liters of Vodka won’t make you beautiful in my eyes! Короче, просто иди нахуй! 

Sorry America, now we WILL intervene in your elections! До встречи.

Dr. Anthony Fauci FLIP FLOPS Again As Arizona Hospitals Activate Emergency Plans

Dr. Anthony Fauci FLIP FLOPS Again As Arizona Hospitals Activate Emergency Plans

4B160AF6-5B13-4DEA-B8D20679284CC9FD_source.jpg

Do you remember not too long ago – health experts warned the American people about a second peak in Covid19?

Well now – a rise in cases has forced Arizona hospitals to activate emergency plans. 

In an article from CNN titled: 12 STATES SEE RISING COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATIONS AS ARIZONA ASKS HOSPITALS TO ACTIVATE EMERGENCY PLANS by Madeline Holcombe. 

Arizona is one of the 19 states with the trend of new coronavirus cases still increasing. 

While 22 states are trending downward—trends in nine states are holding steady. 

Nationally more than 1.9 million people have been infected by the virus and more than 112,000 have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Just recently — Dr. Anthony Fauci called the 2nd wave of COVID-19 his worst nightmare:

Now we have something that’s indeed turned out to be my worst nightmare. Something that’s highly transmissible in a period if you just think about it in a period of 4 months it has devastated the world and it isn’t over yet. 

LAST WEEK on the show – we informed the listeners that Dr. Anthony Fauci advocated that NOW is the time to REOPEN schools EARLY—based on “best scientific evidence.”  

That children are affected less than adults.  AND NOW – it's his worst nightmare?!  [Read our BLOG here]

When will the government and the health experts get their act together and give it to us straight?! With a unified voice! 

If you’ve participated in the BLACK LIVES MATTER protest – please do your part and get COVID-19 testing ASAP. 

What 'Defund The Police' Actually Means — BLM Co-Founder Speaks Out!

What 'Defund The Police' Actually Means — BLM Co-Founder Speaks Out!

1b2ce109611e8e37b88977e4d4b2d122.jpg

Last weekend demonstrators protested near the White House in Washington over the death of George Floyd and walked on the words – ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ – which were painted in bright yellow letters on 16th Street. 

Black Lives Matter – once started as a hashtag in 2013 – is NOW a multi-racial coalition advocating for systematic change in law enforcement. Alicia Garza – co-founder of Black Lives Matter talks to NBC’s Chuck Todd on MEET THE PRESS about the nationwide protests on police abuse

When we talk about ‘Defunding The Police’ – what we're saying is invest in the resources our communities need so much of anything right now is generated and directed towards the quality of life with homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence...in order to address this issue but we need to do is increased funding for housing. We need increased funding for education. We need increased funding for quality of life of communities that are over-policed and over-surveillance.  

Millennials and BLACK LIVES MATTER advocates – I ask you:

WHY ‘Defund The Police’ when we should be investing in MORE education for law enforcement training? 

The US Bureau of Justice Statistics in a 2013 study found that, on average, police officers across the country receive less than six months of basic training, slightly more than the 20-week average that is legislatively required.  

To put this into perspective – one college credit equals 37.5 hours of actual time.  

CCS family – Where are you at with Defunding the POLICE? 

Former Women's March leader Linda Sarsour wrote on Twitter last Sunday that "defunding police" means: 

Take cops out of schools, out of dealing with mental health crises, out of addressing homelessness, etc. Then when you do, you take the resources and put them towards social workers, mental health services, housing, etc. 

White On White Crime: Don’t Let George Floyd’s Murder Become Whitewashed

White On White Crime: Don’t Let George Floyd’s Murder Become Whitewashed

am800-news-george-floyd.jpg

My heart is heavy with the senseless murder of George Floyd. 

This last week I have seen many friends and family cry out and condemn police brutality and the injustices that Black people face in our society. 

However, amongst this solidarity I have witnessed an influx on social media of “virtue signaling.”  

In an article from The Washington Post titled: White people are speaking up at protests. How do we know they mean what they say? by Stacey Patton.  

She states:

Are white people protesting because they are in honest solidarity — or because it helps to soothe their own conscience or assuage their guilt? 

For many White Millennial’s it may feel as though we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t.  BUT that IS NOT THE CASE!  

Patton states further: 

This movement has got to be rooted in a commitment to stop anti-black violence — not just proving individual white people are not racist

Here is how you can stay off the growing number of “virtue signaling” lists that White people are making to call out your inactivity on social media platforms.  

Ask yourself.  When was the last time you just called your Black friend to shoot the shit with?”  

Was it in the last week because you were being told by Facebook to check in on your Black friends?  YOU DON’T have to become a Performative Ally!  

And yes, posting random links and lists of anti-racist books that you have never read also falls under this category. 

Change comes when YOU expand your Immediate Circle of Friends and making sure that they are a reflection of who YOU want to be. 

Should High School Graduates Take A College Gap Year?

Should High School Graduates Take College A Gap Year?

3808.png

In the coming weeks – more than 2 million high school seniors who had their sights set on College for the Fall will navigate a decision — NO graduation class has ever had to consider. 

Universities across the nation are considering a range of contingency plans to combat the Coronavirus as campuses transition to online courses for the new school year. 

AND—as I stated last week for college students studying at home amid COVID-19 – like ME – college isn’t what it used to be. 

However – it costs just the same! 

As on-campus experiences are being replaced with online courses – it's complete bullshit for universities to charge students FULL TUITION without the full experience! 

Why should families pay full price for a semester that might be cut short –AGAIN!? 

Studies conducted by the Gap Year Association show that among students who defer their college admission to take a gap year have a 90% return rate within a year. 

Also – students that take a Gap Year are more likely than their peers to graduate on time—AND with better grades! 

Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Boston University have openly disclosed the possibility of canceling in person classes until 2021. 

If Michael Jordan can take a GAP YEAR from Basketball to focus on himself — YOU CAN TOO! 

Tom Cruise Partners With NASA To Become The FIRST EVER Extraterrestrial Actor In History

Tom Cruise Partners With NASA To Become The FIRST EVER Extraterrestrial Actor In History

PRC_150996501.jpg

While life is on PAUSE for many American across the country – NASA plans to use taxpayer’s dollars to shoot a LIVE ACTION FILM in Space. 

And NO! We’re not talking about Steve Carrel’s SPACE FORCE. 

In an article from CNN Business titled: NASA Is Working with Tom Cruise to Shoot A Film in Outer Space. Yes, Really by Jackie Wattles. 

The head of NASA confirmed Tuesday that the space agency is working with actor Tom Cruise to make a movie on the International Space Station.  

A NASA spokesperson also confirmed to CNN Business that Cruise will launch into space and stay aboard the multibillion-dollar laboratory station that orbits about 250 miles above Earth. 

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a tweet Tuesday: "We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA's ambitious plans a reality," 

The thing is – NASA’s movement doesn’t inspire Millennials at all. 

How can Millennials aspire to become an Astronaut when they work their asses off to earn an advance degree competing against thousands of applicants every year only to lose their spot to a Hollywood Scientology clown?! 

If the Space Flight is successful – Tom Cruise would be the first actor to endure extraterrestrial travel.

CCS Family – Will Tom Cruise’s Action Film in Space inspire the youth around the world? Comment below.

Robinhood, eToro, and Raging Bull Trading Report Millennials Are Spending Their Stimulus Check on Online Stocks

Would you invest your Stimulus into retirement savings or stocks? 

I know Marissa Pitts will be investing in BOTOX! aha 

In an article from CNBC titled: Millennials Are Piling into Stock Trading to Beat the Market. Here’s What You Need to Know by Karen Gilchrist. 

As travel plans this Summer are being canceled – Millennials are jumping into the stock market through online stock trading platforms. 

Investing app Robinhood saw record deposits in the first quarter of 2020 with daily trades up 300%.  Elsewhere – eToro and Raging Bull Trading saw demand surge 220% and 158% respectively. 

Millennials – I understand that everyone is trying to make some extra cash during these tough times – BUT – be smart with how you handle your money! 

Ben Reeves, Chief Investment Officer at Wealthsimple told CNBC Make It:  

“Millennials should be leaving their money into something boring like your retirement fund.” 

Raging Bull Trading founder Jeff Bishop states that Millennials should be trying to establish an amount they want to make each month before investing in stocks.

CCS family – Have YOU ever thought about investing in stocks during the coronavirus? Let us know in the comments below.

YouTube, Facebook Decide What’s Real or Fake News for Millennials

YouTube, Facebook Decide What’s Real or Fake News for Millennials

BC_bakersfielddoc_02.jpg

Listeners – have you noticed during these wild times—that EVERYONE is suddenly an expert on EVERYTHING?!

Over the weekend – YouTube has removed two videos of California doctors calling to ease coronavirus lockdowns by asserting that ‘Stay-At-Home' measures were unnecessary. 

The two doctors – Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi—also state that doctors are falsely attributing unrelated deaths to COVID-19.  

However – Facebook has NOT removed the doctors’ videos—which have been viewed more than 15 million times. 

The different reactions from YouTube and Facebook should be VERY ALARMING for Millennials.

Why should WE tolerate YouTube AND Facebook to become the messiah...the moderator of misinformation as it goes viral? 

It’s ludicrous! This is NOT the same situation as putting a life-ban on Infowars’ Alex Jones. 

The video removed by YouTube showed two licensed doctors speaking at a one-hour news conference livestreamed by local media, including NBC and ABC affiliates in Bakersfield. 

I feel like I’m living in a dystopia! 

What if I wanted to interview these two doctors on the Chris Collins Show – would YouTube remove my channel from their platform? It makes NO sense! 

Don't let these Silicon Dildos dictate the way you receive your information.

CCS family – Should MILLENNIALS trust tech companies to control misinformation online as it goes viral? 

"I Always Wear Gloves And A Condom During A Pandemic" - Chris Collins

I Always Wear Gloves And A Condom During A Pandemic

91061_condoms-iStock-162668100.jpg_ca76fcb7-c89b-4912-89c8-4719b01432cb.jpeg

Listeners...especially the MEN – I’m speaking to YOU! 

You should ALWAYS be wearing gloves and a condom. I haven’t changed my condom in weeks! JUST KIDDING! 

In an article from New York Times titled: Are Facemasks the New Condoms? by James Gorman. 

Are face masks going to become like condoms — ubiquitous, sometimes fashionable, promoted with public service announcements? 

Dr. David O’Connor, who studies HIV and viral disease at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said: 

“If people with no symptoms are spreading the coronavirus—as some studies suggest—it may be time to give face masks the kind of advertising and promotion that support condoms as lifesavers.” 

Dr. O’Connor states: “Kids are going to need to wear them to school when classes resume. Adults are going to need to wear them to work. If you want to go to a basketball game—when we get to that point—face mask. They need to be as ubiquitous as Kleenex—as quickly as possible.” 

Believe it or not – the NBA and WNBA league is developing team-branded facemasks in time for the league to open. 

CCS FAMILY! ARE FACEMASKS THE NEW CONDOMS? 

Dr. David O’Connor believes it’s time to “normalize face masks—and FAST.” 

Millennials – Social Distance & Chill! 

Millennials – Social Distance & Chill! 

scouts-BSA.jpg

Hey Millennials! We FINALLY made it on the news. 

The Avocado Toast generation in large numbers last weekend refused to let the COVID-19 pandemic ruin our Spring Break. 

A high school graduate and Soundcloud rapper Brady Sluder from Milford, Ohio received national coverage from the media for his defiance to let ‘social distancing’ ruin his fiesta ignoring guidelines designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. 

Sluder appeared in a viral video from CBS News filmed on a packed beach in Miami saying: 

If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying. We've been waiting for Miami spring break for a while. We're just out here having a good time. Whatever happens, happens. 

Millennials may feel invisible because the coronavirus doesn’t affect the youth in large numbers like older generations – BUT – the economy could crash leading many of us living at home with our parents. 

Bad Omens vocalist Noah Sebastian perfectly tweeted a response to the youth with the following: 

You guys know how some of the hard headed boomers don’t take climate change seriously and how frustrating it is for us younger generations? That’s exactly how some of you young people still ignoring instructions about containing this virus are being right now. Wise up. 

This isn’t a simulation from WestWorld – we will come back from reality after this pandemic. It takes every generation to combat the number of coronavirus cases in our country. 

It's not like Millennials don’t have endless entertainment in the palm of our hands. 

Netflix & Quarantine. PornHub & Masturbate. Social Distance & Chill. 

Don’t forget to also use sanitary wipes on your iPhone after each use! 

How To Make Money During The COVID-19 Pandemic

How To Make Money During The COVID-19 Pandemic

1*Q0JpQty8VAZlXBPVS0nlsQ.jpeg

Can’t get back to work for the foreseeable future? Waiting on your EDD to come in?

Here are some fun and creative ways to make money while bunkering down!  

In an article from Buzzfeed titled “Here Are Some Super-Creative Ways People Are Making Money After Losing Their Jobs Due to The Coronavirus.” by Tanya Chen.  

The first of the month is around the corner. The struggle to get income is a high priority!  Chen has written down some fun ways to make that extra cash while stuck at home. 

Here’s just a brief list of things to pick from: 

  1. Throw Spa/Make-over Virtual Parties.  

  2. Host an exercise/voice/theatre class.  

  3. Get your TEFL Certificate (cheap on groupon) and teach English to International Students.  

  4. Write customized poems and short stories.  

  5. Serenade people online.  

  6. Bartender Mixology Classes. 

The imagination is the limit when figuring out your side hustle in these uncertain times. I know I am trying out the Virtual Teaching in foreign countries. 

BUT don’t forget to practice TECHNOLOGICAL HYGIENE! Beware of downloading viruses or falling for an online scam which can wipe out whatever money you have saved along with doing some real damage to your laptop. 

If there is one thing that we can be proud of as Millennials, is our ability to be adaptable in crappy situations.  

SO, WASH YOUR HANDS, TURN ON THE MALWARE, AND GET YOUR HUSTLE ON! 

The Internet Is Grabbing Us by An Impulse

The Internet Is Grabbing Us by An Impulse

scouts-BSA.jpg

Have you ever watched TV feeling a vibration in your pants pocket only to realize that you didn’t miss a call?

Well, you’re NOT alone!   

The Internet has provided the world with instant gratification in the palm of our hands with endless online content. 

With the rise of smart phones in the 21st century, millennials are being linked to a newfound behavioral disease known as ‘Phantom Vibration Syndrome’.   

In an article from WebMD, PhD Robert Rosenberger says:

Detecting a vibrating phone has become a habit, and the slightest muscle twitch or feeling of clothing moving could be wrongly interpreted as phone vibration

It shouldn’t startle anyone that the millennial generation wants our factual news now and are easily distracted to check their TINDER account for a new online date.   

In fact, there is plenty of research that indicates that my generation is suffering from long-term effects of heavy Internet use because the instant access of WIFI-connection from our laptops, hotspots and mobile devices. 

Today notifications on social media bring immediate gratification throughout the day making most users checking their sources within AN IMPULSE.    

Users of our generation are finding themselves constantly scrolling through the same repetitive photo/video content of sports highlights, political announcements, and celebrity gossips. 

Don’t you find yourself on social media when bored at work, in between classes, and checking your notifications while driving?  

Why are you judging? Don’t act like you’ve never done the text and drive!   

The point that I’m making is the free reign of information access on the Internet has created a culture amongst the Millennial generation with the fear of missing out on viral news, user notifications, and making comments on social media. 

Social media has become the registered heartbeat trackers of this world. 

So, the next time you feel that vibration in your pants—go with YOUR IMPULSE!

The Employment Development Department (EDD) provides a variety of services to businesses, workers, and job seekers.

HEY U.S. GOVERNMENT!

If we are in a National Emergency, why is the Employment Development Department (EDD) CLOSING offices?!

In an article from Buzzfeed titled: “What The Hell Are Bar And Restaurant Workers Supposed To Do For The Next Few Months?” by Amber Jamieson.  

Jamieson interviews Millennials who are now suddenly without income after living paycheck to paycheck in the food serving industry and there is a consensus.

"I'm not worried about this virus; I'm worried about all these other things.” 

And all these other things are the long laundry list of basic survival, RENT, FOOD, and the never-ending cycle off BILLS, BILLS, BILLS.  

Ok, so you have lost your survival job, you’ve filed a claim ONLINE with EDD but what happens if you need help with your filing? You MUST speak to someone from an 800 number. 

THEY HAVE CLOSED ALL PHYSICAL OFFICES!  

EDD announced they have extended their phone hours from Monday thru Friday 8am-12pm to 4:30pm but what’s the point if at 7:51am the lines are JAMMED all day still!

I called my Senators and State Representatives. And they can’t even get through to speak to someone themselves!

What a shit show this is when even our local governments can’t get through to a department but have to wait on the phone like the rest of us.

EDD OPEN YOUR OFFICES BACK UP!
