i did not get the toilet paper hype bro, they even took the super quilted toilet paper its like wiping your ass with a north face denali fleece

Stats on Testing and who has it is also useless. You can get tested today and be negative and wake up tomorrow and have it. You could recover today and get it again next month. Also the Influenza test is only 50% accurate and we've been using and refining them for decades, how accurate do you think the Corona test actually is. Many people in China got the virus again after recovering 1 and 2 times also. I just hope peoples eyes are open now to how vulnerable they are and how the government cant protect them.

And indeed... Two trillion dollars is about 10% of the existing national debt suddenly being added on in attempt to fix this one single situation. A huge investment to be sure. The same people screaming for it, will be the same ones parroting back the statistic that Trump added more to the national debt than any other president in history.

You know I was thinking about the tp hoarding thing some more today. The amount of ass wiping didn't increase, it has stayed level/average. The demand for ass wiping supplies increased causing an unexpected supply shortage. People over buy toilet paper causing purchase limitations to be put into place. Toilet paper does not run out at the store normally, ie there is enough for anyone to purchase some at any time. The shortage feels artificially manufactured by the people that think there are shortages. Same with everything else that is currently "sold out". Ammunition, guns, toilet paper, bottled water, rice, bread, and proteins. Pandemic or not though, the produce section of the store was stocked full, still can't make people eat their vegetables lol.

and we’re back

side note, squeeze a prison workout in, feeling like im ready to fight my two cats now.

Donald Trump tests positive for Coronavirus - https://worldhealthwebsite.now.sh/donald-trump-virus

Debating on stepping out for some rap sprays for the first time in like a hundred years. Feels like the right time. Could be a trap. Lol.

is this anything close, you think? @mr.yuck

Paid sick leave just means he gets his normal amount of pay while he's sick. I have paid sick leave and paid personal days and paid vacation days. I basically get paid for 40h every week no matter what happens and that is no different than the situation described above with Ted Cruz... he just has a higher salary than me. I see no problem with him getting paid sick leave in the role he holds. And I'd think someone is a bit weird if they didn't want me to get paid sick leave for the role that I hold.

That makes me want to use gloves at the gas station more than corona. Fucking animals.

and i do sound hard left, but my friends are all laid off what are they gonna do? they get state unemployment...overwhelm that system idk...this is just me empathizing i grew up poor...i know what hunger feels like

Most of America does not make $600/wk in pay. That is fuckin ridiculous. You're going to have people that don't know how to handle their money WILDIN THE FUCK out with $600/wk. I sure as shit don't want to pay the extra in taxes for this. I DO, however, think that something temporary should be done. This brings me to my point about the jokes of "how much money does it take to get a trump supporter to turn socialist?" The punchline is $1000. The thing that is missed by people not thinking far ahead is that the money is not a permanent thing. It's not, "from now on you get paid $1000/mo" or anything like that. It's a one time deal that will add a ton of debt to our account. Socialism would be if we permanently switched over to giving "the poverty stricken" $1000/mo and had to pay the recurring debt by way of high taxes. I absofuckinlutely would move out of this country if any "leader" ever tried to make that a reality. No, I don't know where I'd go, but I'd do it so fast their head would spin..... along with many others. I'm not saying that from any certain "vantage point", I'm saying that would be a deal breaker for me and the country that I love. It can't be a good place if the leaders in charge ruin it.

"My wiener is going to be so tan."

good. since people can’t be trusted not to act like retards 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm curious if this ever will die out or if its just something the world has now. Am i always gonna be sweatin' catching the new boogaloo?

man this was quite the rabbithole

This would be the shit if it weren’t for the weirdo borderline pedo vibes. I bet there are so many of these up for sale right now, just like everything else cool you’ve ever wanted.

I havent kept up with this thread so no idea if its been mentioned, but I was recently turned onto A Handmaids Tale on Hulu. I recall seeing ads for it but somehow thought it was some medieval GOT type show, but its actually a very credible (especially now) post-apocalyptic drama. Basic premise is that females start going sterile after all the ways we've corrupted the world through pollution, food, etc. World sort of resembles the actual real world where everything is polarized and extreme. Then a lady start a movement to return to a more wholesome, religion based society in an attempt to turn humanity around and it eventually sparks a revolution that takes over the USA politically and socially. Anyhow, its pretty bananas... Awesome acting, super heavy themes and about as graphic a show as I've watched anywhere. Really good.

Well America love's to be #1, so I guess we're shooting to be #1 with Corona Virus. .. We all need to do our parts and go back to work to keep this great nation strong. (sarcasm)

Pfft I haven't gotten nothing for free but I'm about to go party in L.A. on Saturday. 36 bucks! For real though it's pretty crazy how they're essentially flying empty planes just to maintain the flight paths. I've been staying at my girl's parents' house, been quarantined since last Monday and haven't left aside from taking the dog for walks. The good news is that everybody tolerates each other well, and I've been working from home, but I still have cabin fever. Not to mention I haven't seen the city in 2 weeks now almost, I feel like I'm lost in suburbia. Been ordering off Instacart and Shipt for food. My job should be secure at least for a while but my girl's sister already got let go, she was a server at a restaurant. I gotta be honest, in 2020, in a first world country, having to deal with some shit like this was the absolute last thing on my mind. Couldn't nobody tell whoever it was to keep the fuckin' bat at a rolling boil for 3 minutes?

Shepherd’s Pie with Kobe Beef & real mashed potatoes. I’m debating whether to just eat as-is, or layering and baking it.

They are limiting them two packs a customer here. Same goes with water, soda cans , and sanitizers.

Maybe if it wasn't so raggedy the Californians would take a nibble. Smile and a wink emoji.

There's things we can do as humans and as a society to minimize these sorts of things. I sincerely hope that people really take this as a lesson and take efforts to improve their resiliency and preparedness. Its a bad situation how most people can barely take on any unexpected financial or physical hardship. Really bad that people are not prepared to lock down for a week or two in terms of groceries and supplies. Hopefully we all wash out hands a little more frequently as well.

#5 is Close Encounters of the Third Kind

powerful.

Something to keep in mind is that the people being refused testing are largely the people that are expecting the free tests. At least that's my understanding of this. Under socialized health care, the state decides who to treat according to their own discretion. Under a commercial system, a person willing to pay for a service can receive that service. This is why they've managed to test entire basketball teams. Obviously that group has the bank roll to pay for a service and expedite the process. No different than paying Fedex to next day a letter versus putting a stamp on it and letting the USPS handle it. Lot of people, generally during times that a good many are struggling, tend to look at socialized government programs as the solution. During times when a great many prosper, suddenly they see the merits of being able to navigate and buy services you want according to your own criteria rather than be handed whatever it is the government decides to distribute. That being said, the situation sucks but considering the system is completely overwhelmed it is not surprising that they're being forced to prioritize treatments and services. There's a shit ton of people infected. Most will not die. This is probably why they aren't treating your friend. Right now they're focusing on the ones that are in critical condition and letting the others go through it and run its course. Also mentioned previously, do the math on testing... America has 331,000,000 (331 million) people. If we somehow managed to test 100,000 people a day, a feat that to my knowledge no country has been able to do.... It would take just over 9 years to test everyone in America. Doing that is a tremendous waste of time, energy and money at a time when the country is critically short on all three. Best thing to do is what most countries have finally come around to... Let the sick people be sick. Try to keep distance between as many people as we can. Focus the efforts on those that have proven to be in extreme risk groups and treating those that are sick and have reached a critical stage. Not much else we can do unless you have enough money to pay your own way, which is also what some are doing.

Yeah definitely, the number of cases is only the people that have been tested. And if you guys have noticed, it seems only "important" people are being tested. I have a friend who has a 100.8 fever and a dry cough, she can't get tested because her fever isn't high enough. They're quite literally being bitches about .2 degrees. I told her she should just eat something hot and run down the block then go try again. Not to mention, there's "80,000" cases in China. So we can assume that number is closer to what, probably 150k? We have a shelter in place order but they haven't said anything about my WFH being extended, it's currently until the 6th. I have feeling it'll be extended though.

Also, if you aren't watching Devs, you're slipping. Really freakin good. Link: https://www.hulu.com/series/devs-fd2f6cc3-dafc-4741-ae2e-d86494f3ca51

has anyone ever made/experimented with Hypertufa? I haven’t yet but I will eventually. It seems like a cool lil project to do and super customizable to what you want/need. there are plenty of websites that provide common recipes and directions Some recipes go into a lot of detail Some recipes are more basic. in case any of you have the resources and/or desire to play around while you’re at home.

Ok @T4M*, what's her prize? We want to know.

Same, watching Tiger King as well. @Drue_Down@where@NightmareOnElmStreet After the 3 episodes I've watched my gf and I have determined that all of them are crazy. The people from each different group.... crazy in their own special way.

Crackheads definitely got the 'rona, be careful. Or would it be the opposite? Crack makes you immune to corona? You gotta figure holding in all that rock smoke has to power up your lungs to level 7000.

Holy fucking hell, 2 episodes into Tiger King 👑 The wife and I barely share shows these days, but anyone into fucking over sadistic people & a strong hatred of southerners will love this show.

Some leftover corn from the other day, haha. Chipotle pepper carrots, and parmesan breadcrumbs on some pork chops. If you haven’t caught on i put chipotle pepper on fucking ever-ree-thang.

Not cool 😂

This is going to be a freakin hell of a thread To look back on in the future. Crazy days...

Hey big boy - that comedian that does his act with his shirt off. Ball hog - tom segura

the upcoming Nike X Stussy drop is pretty fresh.....I expect hard af to score though.

Woooooooooo! I'm just in here to take credit for my wife's cooking.

Fired up the grill on the weekend and somehow managed to make something decent out of the worst bit of brisket I’ve ever cooked haha
