Assholes are lining up in the sweltering Florida humidity (it is awful today) to SHOP at the DISNEY STORE

People are waiting 3 HOURS to go into the store.

75% of the women in those pictures are obese. So sad. The “fat acceptance” movement is responsible for so many lost lives.

It's like a Karen Convention

What do you call a flock of Karens?

Most are wearing a mask. This is the new normal, Op. Get used to it.

R3 a flock of Karens is called a "privilege". It's a privilege of Karens.

Will there be enough managers for them to speak to?

Do I hear bacon sizzling?

[quote] a flock of Karens is called a "privilege". It's a privilege of Karens.

I thought it was "an entitlement of Karens."

Do they sell anything in that store that's (1) essential and/or (2) unavailable online?

It's unfortunate and a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise get sick (such as healthcare workers) are going to die, but the evidence is that until these people experience it for themselves, they're simply not going to take it seriously.

The churches that opened, then closed after numerous illnesses prove that.

Hannah Arendt defined evil as a failure of imagination. Evil arises because people are incapable of imagining the beginning, middle, and end of another person. They cannot imagine experiences if they haven't had them themselves; therefore lack empathy for others. You can see this in idiots like Rob Portman who was vocally opposed to gay marriage until his own son came out. Once it affected him (and benefited him) to allow gay marriage, he was suddenly able to imagine what life for those people was like.

Unfortunately, the only way these people will understand is when someone in their own lives gets sick.

Or, they're right, and we're over-reacting. I guess time will tell, but science says the better bet is a wave of new illnesses.

Disney Stores are now in every mall around the country. They HAVE to go to that one?

C-O-V (Victory is ours.) I-D-19 (Days till we die) I-D-I-O-T.

R8? No, it's an entitlement of Millennials.

Fixed that for ya.

And the Disney acceptance movement is responsible for so much crushing, corporate mediocrity.

R10, great post.

R9, they do sell some things exclusively in the parks/DS. I’ve never had the urge to go to this store though. Part of the magic of WDW is getting souvenirs while (or slightly after) having fun in the park.

The virus isn’t surviving in that sweltering heat. Nobody’s getting it.

It's not part of The Disney Store chain, which most people make stake it for. It mostly carries merchandise exclusive to that store, World of Disney, and the theme parks, as well as product lines created exclusively for that particular store. It'll has products ranging the gammut from pencils to high-end jewelry and timepieces, dishes, food, apparel, toys abd the same DVDs and CDs you can get anywhere. But none of it is essential. I can't believe people are waiting three hours to get into it. It's something like 53,000 square feet of madness on a normal day--I would think it must be like Hell on the day it reopens with social distancing and newly retrained employees in place.

Their best hope is that coronavirus doesn't like Disney either.

Reminds me of Dawn of the Dead (1978). It was set in a shopping mall...

[quote] products ranging the gammut

Oh, dear!

Grandma will look so cute in her casket with Mickey Mouse ears on.

Have to go with R9. Is there really anything there that can't be ordered on-line?

I certainly understand there may be birthdays or whatever looming, but you can't get an Elsa doll through Disney.com or Amazon?

A Karavan?

A kuntitude of Karens.

At least they’ll die happy, with their ears on.

Meanwhile, in a city that's had almost 400,000 confirmed cases and 23,000 deaths in 10 weeks, this shit is still going on in this community. This community kept their schools open a week after everyone else. They've had mass religious gathering throughout this crisis. DeBlasio grew some balls and said something but he was he immediately silenced.

I work in this community and was shocked today how many Hasidim were not wearing masks at all, probably 99%. Meanwhile, it seems almost 100% of the rest of the city is wearing masks. There is going to be a second wave of infections much sooner than we think.

There just can't be anything in that store that anyone absolutely needs.

"Most are wearing a mask"

Masks only prevent someone spraying you with droplets of cough or sneeze, and may limit viral load (the amount your mucous membranes are exposed to in a congested area like a rain or elevator). Viruses being 40 times smaller than bacteria, just imagine what gets through the gigantic holes of cloth or paper. If you can smell perfume, smoke or stank- you just inhaled a nice batch of virus.

So you’re suggesting people shouldn’t wear masks, Florence Nightingale?

[quote]What do you call a flock of Karens?

A gaggle of Karens.

Although I do like R5: "a privilege of Karens."

A "frauline of Karens."

It's a kunt of Karens.

Pronounced Koont.

Disney grot to die for.

"Exclusive" crap about cartoon characters made for children?

It makes my brain hurt. Can you imagine what their houses look like?
