According to Chad Daybell the world is going to end on 7/22/20, when he and Lori Vallow will lead the 144,000 chosen ones to the promised land.

So how are you going to spend the next week?

Hm. That’s roughly the timeline for US Coronavirus deaths to hit 144,000. Coincidence?!?!?!?

Since I don’t believe it, I’ll keep going to work and lazing about entertaining myself the rest of the time like usual. If I _did_ believe it, I’d take time off work and blow off coronovirus enough to spend time with the members of my family that I’ve been social distancing from…and laze about entertaining myself the rest of the time like usual.

In a lot of ways, I really am living my best life.

As I was reading this thread, the TV showed an advertisement from WMWare, which begins “You can’t predict the future” and so now I’m just not sure if I can trust Chad or not.

I think this is a sign of…something. :need to decipher:

I’m gonna take Armageddon predictions from a Chad? I wouldn’t trust a Chad to schedule my next oil change.

Making fun of Chad Daybell

Binge watching Season 3 of Norsemen on the 22nd. Just in case he is right I should die laughing.

Eat the 50-some ice cream sandwiches I have stockpiled in the freezer in my garage. Otherwise nothing different from a regular day.

Oh well, that’s the day, 6 months before my 84th birthday, I get a letter from the motor vehicle bureau telling me I need medical and eye exams to keep my licence. It happens at 75, 80, and every two years thereafter. I guess I can ignore it.

Well, what do you know? 7/23/20 and we’re all still (mostly) here. Maybe Chad and Lori were raptured yesterday.
