Curfew
#27028324 - 11/08/20 10:23 AM (3 years, 3 months ago) |

Just got an emergency message about it here in RI. 10:30-5am, due to COVID or course. Which fucking sucks because I'm a night owl and very often walk the dog until midnight-1am.
Anyone else under a curfew?

I know when we had a curfew here for a short while it was mainly for things like parties, stores, and restaurants. Walking and driving and stuff was fine, it was more just a way to limit gatherings. Not sure if RI is the same.

We've had curfews several times where I live in North Carolina due to protesting/rioting.
It's a weird feeling to essentially be under house arrest at night unless you have a really good reason.

They just implemented it today. For two weeks apparently - once I read into it further - but it also says they'll be implementing new measures in that time if case count keeps rising.
I'm not going to abide by it, and will see what comes of that. Hopefully having a dog by my side if I get pulled over will be a good barrier from persecution for breaking it.

I have not heard of anything like that where I am but it doesn't surprise me. This whole thing is all about control. Little by little so subtle people don't even reize they are going from free range humans to penned. I hope there's serious push back from the citizens in your area so this toxic philosophy doesn't spread.

those look like the robots from a Black Mirror epsiode
curfews for covid sounds strange and like a reason to keep people from moving around in the dark when every one is asleep

In the middle of the night, your chance to get Covid is smallest.
This is riot prevention, it has nothing to do with Covid.
Exactly late at night people take their outdoor exercise.

agreed, it is not for covid at all, and that is fairly creepy but understandable, strange for RI though, which voted blue and is not what i would call a major target for unrest, unless there is information not being shared with the public
i would do one of two things personally, stay inside and sleep in the middle of the night as usual throughout my life, or sit in a tree camouflaged and wait/watch

It's not a curfew. It's a "Stay at home advisory".

Boston Dynamic, these are amazing, i think if everyone had one we could sleep better at night
better yet, like 3 to 7 of them, short of an RPG or a straight up drone attack or MOAB, these things will repel 99.9% of all fuckery to person-on-person hostility
but if the code got hacked, that would be a mess
quote from 'Casablanca', and it probably applies equally to RI
Maj. Heinrich Strasser: Are you one of those people who can not imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris? Rick Blaine: It's not particularly my beloved Paris. Maj. Heinrich Strasser: Can you image us in London? Rick Blaine: When you get there ask me! Capt. Louis Renault: Hmmmh! Diplomats! Maj. Heinrich Strasser: How about New York? Rick Blaine: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to invade.
