No. Absolutely not. Women pass eggs with their urine and you do not want an ectopic sewage baby forming.

If you need help remembering what you can or cannot flush down the toilet just say "Pippi PeanutButter. PP PB or Piss, Poop, Puke and Bones. Remember kids, the integrity of our sewage systems depends on YOU. Pippi believes in you.

A wipe is not flushable even if it says so on the package!!!!

toilets are for POOP, PEE, TP, PUKE sometimes and BONES only

If your toilet is close enough to your sink, you can get the benefit of wet wipes with just tp. Just put a little soap on the tp, put it under the sink and blam, a cheap alternative to a wet wipe.

i live upstate and edit the majority opinion is "it's only the city and it's fine if THEY die because who likes anyone who has ever been to NYC anyway? loving city-people rat cooties"

the managers of the auto shop i worked at were advocating walling the city off and letting them all die and that's why i quit on tuesday lol.

I was just making a joke about NYC exceptionalism in my post and this seems like a really, really stupid thing to do for the reason you listed but alright.

You don't have to be like a tankie to say that China is generally somewhat competent, eventually, in a way that the US has seemingly become incapable of. It's not being a xi stan it's just saying that the place is generally pretty capable of keeping the lights on vs the free market death cult in the West which is deeply incapable of thinking past the next quarter

Washington has stepped up their graph game. And the Epidemiological curve here seems to have flattened some, however it's too noisy to really tell whether it's still increasing.

https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/Coronavirus

The DOH has made sure the binning on their confirmed cases and deaths reflects meaningful age groups. We've apparently had a lot of cases in the 20-39 age bracket, but so far nofew deaths. The vast majority of deaths are 60-80 year olds.

They've also finally gotten their hospitalization rate working.

Apparently we've been doing between 4 and 5 thousand tests per day since early March, although it looks like there's at least a week of backlog in some places.

Didn’t you hear?

The virus knows when it’s on food and agrees that it wouldn’t be fair to infect you like that.

You don’t need to take any precautions with food because no one has conclusively demonstrated an infection caused by it.

If I were you I'd try to say you quit because of unsafe workplace conditions or toxic environment, harrassment etc
And get unemployment
Think long and hard about actual events you can recall, etc
Do some research
The worst that can happen is you get denied

Upstate NY people always say trash like that. I'm from NYC but moved upstate a few years ago. Last week a coworker told me they should blow up the bridges and let em all die.

Now covid positive people are being sent upstate and people are buggin out. (As if carless city ppl really want their sick loved ones sent hundreds of miles away)

Upstate NY people constantly rag on NYC and see it has a burdensome moocher that eats up all their tax dollars. The far majority of people up here honestly believe that. Nevermind that NYC carries half the loving country.

Upstate NY is diehard trump fanatic territory. I was supposed to move back downstate in June....

I support the person who quit. Why the gently caress wouldn't you?
