I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

WI Republicans also blocked an emergency vote to stop in person voting on Tuesday despite the risk of exposure and that tons of polling places are closed forcing more people who even want to risk exposure (it's a Democrat primary vote) into more packed voting places.

e: Both sides equally at fault though somehow can't forget to add that in there of course we all know that right?

This seems the most heinous thing yet?
Won't this literally kill Democrats especially???

You're right, there is the Judicial race as well, I didn't mention that, as well as the measure to grant rights to the accused in cases that benefits corporations facing charges (insurance companies in particular).

It'll kill everyone, given the judicial thing, but Republicans haven't seemed to take issue with killing their own for one seat so IDK

Best Evers could get was to extend absentee voting. If he tried to do anything else, Republicans would throw a shitfit and probably take it to the Extremely Republican court in an effort to rob him of even more power than they already have.

poo poo is bad here.

Georgia has a "stay at home order" but it applies to literally nobody FWIW. Even call centers are considered essential. It's vague enough that any business can just declare that they are essential.

Same in Texas. The only officially verboten businesses are dine-in restaurants, gyms, and bars. Literally every other business is a-okay, and church gatherings are super.

Our dumb governor specifically said "this is not a stay-at-home order" so any article saying Texas has one is misinformed.

Our governor overruled the cities and counties, reopened the beaches, and declared any restrictions that are more strict than his are illegal, which isn't how laws work. Here's one of our beach towns response:

You have to do an online eye exam which will update your prescription but of course South Carolina doesn't allow that (and no I can't spoof my location).

ilmucche posted:

My glasses are ancient and maybe 3-4 prescriptions old. I'm wearing them now but they suck.

I was able to snag an appointment tomorrow morning which will cost 120 bucks and risk exposure but it'll at least get me some trial lenses.

If your vision hasn’t changed in years than just go buy some cheap glasses online using your old prescription info.

Okay I was wrong about Nitr0 they're an rear end. You know you don't have to constantly post the worst aspects of a nation? What good does that do? Saying wet markets with live animals are bad is one relevant thing in a Coronavirus thread, discussing virgin boy eggs? Well that's just trying to make China as a whole look bad. gently caress off it's hard enough to claim that the government of China is poo poo without accusations of xenophobia it doesn't help anyone when there's assholes just trying to go "lol China has x bad thing". Great. Unless those eggs are a disease vector instead of just gross it isn't relevant to the thread.

That's some good stuff.


One of my brother in laws (who was in pretty lovely health to begin with) is in the hospital with bilateral pneumonia, and they are going to run a test to see if it's Covid or not. My sister is freaking out, and she wasn't allowed to go with him inside. She drove him to the hospital, he was escorted out of the car by some nurses in full PPE, and then told to go the hell away and quarantine at home for 2 weeks. Hopefully she can at least take a change of clothes and a phone charger to him at some point, even if all she does is drop it off at reception.
