The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.
It's stunning how much this virus is kicking the poo poo out of Europe and the US relative to East Asia in both total cases and death counts. Within the next couple days both America and Italy will pass China in total number of cases, Italy has already doubled China's reported number of deaths. We had months of warning that this was coming and still completely poo poo the bed.

And it's not just China potentially fudging some of the case data. South Korea and Japan both effectively clamped down on this after an initial surge. It just keeps going up up up everywhere simultaneously in the US and Europe though.

My wife works at a pet store, which are designated "essential", but aren't doing anything other than reducing hours a little. None of her dumbshit customers are practicing social distancing, so she's just getting surrounded by people all day. Families are coming in and treating it like a visit to the zoo. This is loving insane. They need to change to pickup only, or actually limit the number of customers in the store, but what's really going to happen is she's gonna get sick and then I'm gonna die because I have high blood pressure and had asthma as a kid. gently caress yeah.

My niece goes to college near me and her school cancelled classes for the semester while she was home for spring break so I rescued her rabbit from her dorm. I've never kept a rabbit before, and she was low on a couple of things. Did you know rabbits need to eat hay constantly? They like to eat hay while they poo so you have to put some in the litterbox, for them to eat. Anyway, I have dogs so even though I bought plenty of dog food I didn't have any hay and Smokey and I would have been hosed if your wife wasn't there to sell me some expensive rear end rabbit hay. Thank you both for your sacrifice.



Smokey has since been reunited with his family

There is absolutely no sense of unity in the US, and never has been. Kurt Vonnegut even remarked on this when he wrote Slaughterhouse Five over half a century ago. We are taught to hate ourselves and each other

And we are especially taught to distrust scientific authority, the GOP media machine has been training people to do that for decades. If an actual expert goes on TV with a proven-effective plan of action, no one listens, because we are trained to not trust them, only the talking heads on Fox News provide trustworthy information and they're telling me that this is no worse than the sniffles, we don't shut down the entire economy over the common cold!!1!

Our rabbit looks almost the same as that one. Thank you for saving that tiny grumpy english rabbit

Be prepared for their piss to smell awful and for them to poop occasionally outside of their litter box, because while they do like pooping in a designated place they also poop constantly, but at least their poops are basically tiny odorless pellets that are easy to sweep up. If you have a garden their poop also makes some of the best fertilizer on Earth.

Yeah, definitely. I just don't see why they can't set either a strict limit on customers inside at a time, or go to pickup only. They put tape on the floor to designate where to stand while employees get your stuff but nobody gives a poo poo.

Today is a sad day. The masturbation convention is in danger of being canceled :smith:

Bate Con 2020|BateCon 2020 - the largest public masturbation exhibition in the USA | National Masturbation Convention 2020

quote:

BateCon is the largest public masturbation exhibition in the USA. Taking place over four days, BateCon was created for like-minded adults who are looking to socially connect through the act of masturbation. Normally, it’s regarded as a private act, but we here at BateCon believe masturbation is a great tool for social bonding.

No matter how you like to touch yourself, there’s something for everyone (over 18) at BateCon. Want add a little spice with a new toy or technique? Then shop from our expansive trade show floor or catch one of our many educational seminars. Want to meet a BateCon celebrity and take some photos with them? There are several attending they’re right here to share a good time with you! Are you in the mood for a live performance? We have a full-blown shows centered around edging, squirting, and sex toy demonstration. Plus, our very own Kings and Queens of Masturbation will be crowned on the final night. Are you ambitious and like to show others what makes you feel good?

Make your way to one of our most popular show features, our group masturbation rooms! No matter your gender or orientation, we’ve got you covered with rooms designated for all preferences and combinations.

Yeah a limit on customers would make sense. A lot of places have a "no more than X" people can gather in one spot, if your area has a limit like that (and it's like 5 or 10, not 50) you could make the argument that should apply to your store as well.

In Canada bans on large gatherings are now being enforced with fines on businesses and individuals who don't comply.

Wild bugs are out in a lot of areas now it's spring - my sons praying mantis has been feasting well on a variety of random beetles and grasshoppers. Invest in a very fine loose net, cast it over something green, give it a kick or two and see what hops out.

As I post, we're talking to my wife's grandfather(97) and stepgrandmother(79) in Ohio. They have a hoarder amount of food stocked up and don't plan to go anywhere.


But their neighbors went door to door delivering soup, so they had soup for dinner last night.


Also, does anyone have that mask sterilization chart? I think it said 160 and our oven only goes down to 170, so I need to look at the alternatives.

This is a cool and good idea so they most certainly won't follow through with it. I'd also accept playing the speeches on enough of a delay so they can just overlay a fart noise over each lie.

But who are the news networks even reaching anymore that isn't under 40 years old or otherwise completely silo'ed in some sort of information hell?

idk, i know a loooot of people that still watch tv religiously, every single day, and use it for their primary source of information. the under 40 crowd is less likely to, but anecdotally it still seems v popular in the usa

New York, North Carolina and Hawaii say they need additional morgue space.

The president expressed confidence at the White House briefing that things in the country were improving. “America continues to gain ground in the war against the virus,” he said.

But as he spoke, the Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed that New York State has asked the federal government to build emergency morgues as the number of confirmed cases in the state reached more than 30,000. North Carolina and Hawaii also submitted requests for the additional morgue space.

“These requests are currently in the review and approval process,” said FEMA spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow.
