Her reason is that the President supports it and she wants to give the money to the corporations who made her rich.

Likely not, worst case you might get flagged for a test where you might be in a room with people that are obviously sick with it though. I don't think that has happened in the US yet but it has in other countries. Or maybe that was people coming back from out of the country flights and cruises. I can't remember too much poo poo has gone on.

The cats will eat 4 cans of wet food a day, since I just bought it, and then murder me painfully (and eat my face) when I try to switch them back over to the dry stuff.

But yeah, Amazon, free shipping, let the cats eat the UPS guy's face. That's a win-win-win-lose.

Do I need to leave the UPS guy in the garage for three days before I let the cats eat him?

yes I'd recommend a quarantine period for dead UPS guy in case cat's can transmit anything by licking your face after they lick their assholes.

Not yet?

Not really responsible a recommendation but I would say go for that last pre-endofthe world beer, kinda like doing a last concerto on the sinking Titanic?

Missus and I had diner at home with her eldest son and his girlfriend last night, we're not sure if that's likely to happen again anytime soon.
A wonderful night that ended with begging them, a tear in the eye, to come hunker down at our place if we're not allowed to leave our homes at all anymore.

Now mom wants me to go shopping because we only have 3 months worth of stuff. Which she says is only 2 months but is really 4 months if poo poo gets dire.

I'm not risking us so she can have fresh milk every week.

It ain't happening.
It's the oddest thing that I'm not worried so much as DETERMINED. We are so effing lucky to not have to leave and I refuse to squander this. The isolation is nothing to me, I've been self isolating since 2006. :shrug:

We do nightly voice chats on discord.

Try using Skype instead, or similar video chat. Just plonk the laptop somewhere in the room while you're doing regular household stuff like prepping a meal or eating dinner and hang out for an hour or two shooting the breeze. Don't feel like you have to force the conversation or keep up appearances or need a list of topics to discuss or any of that poo poo, you're just hanging out via a tiny little electronic window.

This is going to be the new normal for a while so get used to it! These little bits of human interaction are what's going to be keeping us sane over the next few months.




Edit: IMPORTANT POINT: make sure you let everyone in the house know you're going to be videochatting so they don't wander into view naked

We could do some binges even which could be really fun especially if we hit one for a big shows release time!

Here in Spain the cops stop you, ask you some questions. If you are in a car, they will ask for a document saying where you come from, where you go, and when. if they find you are breaking the law, you can be fined something between. $600 and $10000.

This is not enough to stop some people, but enough to stop most people.

Lol, they are one and the same my dude. Yellow-eyed devils born of greed and unchecked capitalism. They hate old and poor people with the strongest hate a blackened heart can muster so they are enjoying this. The Ruling Class thinks only one thing: less poors = less welfare to pay out and less olds = less pensions, more money for me.

If anyone wants video games to distract them from excessive drinking, worrying etc, then the new season of Path of Exile just started. 60 hours this week and not a beer drunk.
Free to play too. I have to keep reminding myself as it's great and doesn't make you spend money

Also free, and good is Warframe. More shooty, and also suitably complicated, so easy to get lost in.

Hmm, what have we here?
I’d like to share some positive things:

-I found both yeast and flour at the store along with everything I need to distance myself. I’ve always wanted to learn how to bake so now is going to be the time to learn something new and useful.

-I’m excited to start practicing the piano again, something I’ve been putting off because of life.

-My friend who lost her paycheck to paycheck job was taken in by her close friend’s family who has a house in a small town on the coast. Her messages to me have shifted from dread and fear to pictures of nature and happy sentiments.

-I talked to my parents today because we always have differing opinions on current events. They’re taking it seriously and are stocked, home, practicing good social distancing and constantly planning for when things get worse. I’m so proud of them.

It's suspiciously around the same time we all got sick with what we thought was a lovely cold.

That person is fine by the way.

So I'm not actually sure if my work is actually supposed to be open right now. I'm a small animal veterinarian in California. I thought that veterinarians were essential but California declared a lockdown for everyone except their 16 essential sectors. When i look at the website the closest thing would be food/agriculture but technically we're not working with livestock so... i don't know, apparently some vet clinics around here have closed. We are still open though. I'm part of a corporation too so we're going by their guidance mostly. We are wearing ppe with pets and only having clients drop off the pets, no exam room appointments. Part of me wonders if this ppe is needed by our medical colleagues and we shouldn't be using it (and should close instead). This is all so crazy

If you ate more protein as a child, you could have been a large animal veterinarian. Or, you could just eat a lot of fatty/carb laden foods.

We had to take our ear-infection-prone dog to the vet on Tuesday and they had the doors locked and a staff member would physically take the leash from you and take the animal in while you waited in your car. That was the first big departure from normal I saw and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

So here's where we're at with that:



If the pattern keeps following that curve there should be about1000 deaths tomorrow.

Remember that the US is following pretty much the same pattern and is only 10 or 11 days behind, so brace yourself for that. :negative:

The Republicans busted out 2008's greatest hits - a one time payment, means-tested to hell and most of the poor get less money or no money at all, but paired with a massive bailout of corporations. And if you want another $600 dollar payment don't worry industry needs half a trillion more in bailouts the next month.

Also the health insurance requirements for business are going to be waived. Republicans have never been the party of the working class, they certainly aren't going to start now, they would love another crash to ramp wealth and income inequality through the roof.
