I'm in NY and one of the live theaters wants to reopen in September, but test every actor prior to every performance for COVID

I'm in a small town where there's no understudies for shows, so selling 200 tickets and then hanging a sign on the door saying "SORRY WE GOT RONI'D" is probably a stupid loving idea

One positive test means the entire run of that show (usually a month's worth) would need to be cancelled as every actor would need to go into isolation since they all had rehearsed with the infected cast member

The actors union is opposed to the testing as well

I've never been to applachia before until a year or so ago when I did some work on a TVA project outside of Kingston/Johnson City and hoo boy i don't think i've ever seen so many fat people and diabetes billboards and help diabetes signs in every retail and restaurant before. it was kinda eye-openining from being relatively sheltered west coast only mostly been west of the 100th meridian (and new jersey).

johnson city was actually really nice tho, i wouldnt have minded living there. lots of actually good food, but the bbq sucked rear end despite the hype.

bbq up and down appalachia in general is remarkably lovely outside a few exceptions, just piles of sugar sauce on flavorless meat. people think it automatically has to be good because we're in "the south" or whatever but it ain't

im in JC and it's still regressive as hell despite downtown cleaning up a lot recently. a couple years ago someone dumped a cow carcass on a person's lawn near downtown because they had a bunch of lgbtq flags on their porch. could definitely be worse though, kingsport is an absolute shithole

I need Mr. T and other positive-yet-intimidating role models to go on TV and tell everyone "Wear a mask and stay six feet apart, or wear a casket and stay six feet under."

But :hmbol: we'd get some smoothbrain word salad from the presidumb trying to co-opt this message for his MAGAKAGARGLE sycophants.

my mother- and father-in-law are both teachers (gradeschool and high school respectively) and they absolutely loving hate this poo poo maybe this will make people shut the gently caress up about how virtual learning is THE FUTURE

It is, but the problem is that teachers are relegated to online curriculum IT jockeys on top of trying to juggle all the coursework. The infrastructure isn't there, and instead of educating, the teachers have to spend all their time telling students how to unfuck the e-classroom seb bullshit. Never mind that it also requires the students themselves to furnish their materials and an internet connection with device.

Ask them, if they had a TA/IT computer toucher to deal with all the bullshit about "I can't log in" or "unlock this feature for me" and if all their students had no issues getting materials and connecting for lessons, would it suck as much?


Looking forward to the story in November/December:

"Businesses advertising putting toys and tech gadgets in the caskets with deceased individuals to 'encourage Christmastime shopping' and bolster the economy, which is sorely needed with the death toll officially above the seven-figure mark."

The drug reps give us a bunch to pass out as samples, but we just give them out to people that can't afford their meds.

This is a modus operandi for health insurance companies when people call and can't afford their medications: go bother someone for free samples.

The official death toll will never cross the 1 million mark. It will asymptotically increase towards 999,999 until corona is cured.

Pneumonia, heart failures, and natural causes gonna skyrocket though.

MEERUT: A bunch of monkeys stoned a 72-year-old to death in Tikri village of Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh when he went to collect wood for havan.

According to police, Dharampal Singh was collecting pieces of dry wood when the monkeys rained bricks, which they got from a nearby dilapidated building, at him from the treetop.

Hit on the head and chest, the elderly man died in hospital later. His family has lodged a formal complaint and named monkeys as accused in the case. Police, however, were in a fix over the issue and registered the matter in the case diary stating it to be an accident. The family is not convinced and they are now writing to higher authorities.

According to Krishnapal Singh, the deceaseds brother, Monkeys threw more than 20 bricks at Dharampal on Thursday. He was hit on the head, chest and legs. Thrown from quite a height, the bricks were enough to kill him. These rogue monkeys are the real culprits and must pay for it. We have given a written complaint against monkeys but police dont seem to be convinced enough to convert it into an FIR."

As per villagers, monkeys in the area have made their lives hell and the entire local population is greatly inconvenienced. The attack on Dharampal could be the worst case, but monkeys have made life difficult for villagers here and there doesnt seem to be any solution in sight, Bheema Kashyap, a local resident, said.
