Wow, that’s such a tough call, I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll get the chance to hike it again! 

Because my wife is self employed we have lost a substaintial amount of money, which sucks, but we’re lucky I can keep us afloat. It is hard to empathise with anything going on because this virus is so abstract at the moment. I’m not seeing any sick people and its still sunny outside and everyone is walking around, but…

My first response was “Big Brother is still going?” I really didn’t think it was running still, anywhere in the world!

Sure, it feels fine now. Wait until you’re trying to whip together a meal with a packet of oatmeal, cream of celery and pumpkin pie spice.

Hey, let’s go into business Husky! We can wear cool suits and masks as we take bodies out of houses (for a nominal fee of course).

I heard that the Oakland Zoo was shutting down because someone fought a panda and left it unconscious. Definitely a case of Marshall Law.

Sadly if enough people still showed up they’d just mark you as AWOL or something and dock your pay. Sitting in at the end of the production line at least doubles as a strike and guarantees any other workers who called in wouldn’t be productive either.

had our govt. actually paid attention back in November/December

Is this why people are going crazy stockpiling toilet paper? ;)

Also, this is an Arby’s

“Free to play” doesn’t mean free. It’s just a ploy to get people to start playing to give them money.

And as I’ve said, they don’t deserve any.

Now you can go sit your ass in the corner next to Bloomberg.

Considering how lukewarm Fahey seems about this game, it really isn’t even worth the download. BUT HEY ITS FREE GIVE…

I have firsthand experience with how badly it can go when you have industry professionals with no teaching experience or degree teaching a class-- most of my teachers, despite being talented artists, couldn’t explain how they got from Point A to Point B, couldn’t explain why they disliked peoples’ art or what they…

The problem most likely isn’t just in finding someone with the right cred, but also the willingness to be a teacher. And some ability to actually teach.

This piece on TNR is worth a read on how we got here: TL;DR, the conservative movement has finally defeated the federal bureaucracy and now doesn’t understand why nothing works anymore.

Wait, is this claiming that a self-selecting group of people who make claims to advanced intelligence turned out to be awful?

Yeah, the argument that Sanders put forward during the campaign was “We have a bloc of voters that will show up, and will put us over the top, who will vote for me, but won’t vote for just any candidate.”

I like how Sanders spent an entire speech talking about the needs of real people that Biden has largely ignore and dismissed and your takeaway is that he’s narcissistic. But then you were swearing up and down a few months ago that Kamala Harris would be the nominee so you’ve got a tradition of being wrong to uphold I…

So he’s giving Joe Biden a chance to make a positive case for his own candidacy to skeptical Biden voters and that’s a“sociopath” to you?

Indeed. The telltale sign of a “narcissistic sociopath” is *checks notes* stridently advocating for general welfare-enhancing policy change.
