there's a lot to criticize about china's government and treatment but when "western liberal democracy" results in the wealthy making GBS threads all over the poor and basically having a corporate sector do the work of a dictatorship by controlling and manufacturing the discourse, and they can't even handle this crisis as well as china. then gently caress it, democracy failed in the marketplace of ideas, as they would say.

China has like 1 billion more people than the united states and it looks like were going to have like 10 times the death total as they will.

they keep extending the stay-at-home stuff in Indiana without actually making more businesses close down or whatever. I keep hoping my union will force a shutdown of local sites, but given that it's currently being led by a guy who told me he wasn't gonna push for a better signing bonus for my old shop's contract with Gannett because "it's too much hassle for the company's accountants," I'm not optimistic

Do you have anything to hand the rings off of? There's a bunch of bodyweight exercise books like never gymless

You have to start at the absolute basics and cut weight fast. It absolutely sucks to not be able to hold positions but you'll advance quick

Do wall handstands , Lsits, and that yoga frog pose thing, then work to actual handstands, manna progression, and planche. If you can get rings in a good spot do back levers , then a million skin the cats in tuck for pull and extend when lowering

And lots of pullups. For everything where you're doing a hold you do something like 60 total seconds in the whole. This might mean 60 x 1 second each when you're starting out , this poo poo is hard but rewarding

I can hang the rings from a tree out back. I'll try those things. And anal sex, of course.

it takes so much effort on my part not to rub my chud family members’ faces in trump idiocy, telling them “look at this, this is what you voted for and support.”

(also “you should be ashamed” and “you morons” etc etc.)

I don’t want to alienate them from the kids who don’t understand the situation and still like them and some tiny speck of me still thinks some sort of family interaction is good for them.

seems like a maturity thing. I’ve had outbursts in the past at them but have exercised some restraint now. but it’s really really hard.

My aunt is CEO of a hospital...she just spoke with my parents on speaker phone about it. All of her positive cases the past two weeks have lacked fevers. All had GI issues, and body-aches, night sweats. Shortness of breath is still the primary immediate symptom. San Antonio doesn't need doctor's approval to get tested. See if your community opened up testing to anybody based on suspect symptoms.

I probably should... I am in Massachusetts outside of Boston but not too far. I looked around on the internet and it pretty much says call your doctor and they will tell you if you aren't dying don't go to the hospital. I don't think there are any testing locations besides there right now.

NYC, New Orleans, and Chicago are doubling deaths every three days, and this thing doesn't peak for another 2 weeks, right? I get that there's an unknown upper limit of covid vulnerable people, but even then if you told me that 100,000k people were going to die in those 3 cities alone I'd be skeptical, much less the entire loving country. Someone please explain to me why I'm wrong :(

*woops, meant NYC, Detroit and Chicago. New Orleans is merely doubling every week, approaching every three days

I tell them openly I think they're bad people, but they're also family and that outdoes the fact that they make the world a worse place. Then Ive said my piece, moving on, how's work/commence the pleasantries, and once Ive said it it's known where I stand.

Once bail reform got passed, The various prosecutorial offices and police departments across the state had an amazingly coordinated responses on social media and in the newspapers designed to scare suburban parents. "PEOPLE CHARGED WITH TERRORISM IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH DEGREE AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY OFFENDERS WILL NOT NEED TO PAY BAIL AND WILL BE FREE IN THE STREETS!"

I saw nothing in response form the proponents of the bill. I guess the bail reformers were outnumbered or just not prepared for the poo poo storm and assumed the general public knew what "bail" actually is.

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

Hm. Saturday I was super sick, thought it might be a hangover/withdrawals or something as it did feel similar at least.

I vomited my brains out all day then and when that subsided like 14 hours later I pissed out of my rear end for another 12 hours. I tried sleeping but had insane sweats and hallucinatory fevery "dreams" (I never actually fell asleep) both Saturday and Sunday nights. I couldn't get my body temp comfortable at all, took a bunch of baths and then cold towels on face etc.

The reason I mentioned withdrawals is because it was extremely similar to real deal alcohol withdrawals which I shouldn't have been having given I only drank one day (heavily).

I don't have any respiratory distress. I have been a little elavated temp wise but not in a fever, although I didn't check the nights I felt like I was dying.

Any sources on those being symptoms?

I had those exact same symptoms three weekemds ago. I also felt real dizzy.
