One problem I keep running into, living in a deeply Democratic state/district - every time these “oppose Trump’s latest buffoonery/illegal action” calls come up - who am I supposed to call? Representatives that are already on the front line voting against him every step of the way? I need people from Florida, Ohio,…

Don’t. Trust. Facebook.

Remember - all that violence that Trump says could happen if Biden becomes president actually is happening while Trump is President.

“Ten comments later, I was in a bad mood and regretted the whole thing.” This is such a powerful observation, not just with internet commenting but anything that drains you or puts you in a shitty mood that you KNOW you shouldn’t do but you do anyway. Fantastic piece.

The mask recommendation is based on protecting other people from the wearer’s germs, not on protecting the wearer from other people’s germs. So yes, most masks won’t protect you from COVID but that’s not the point. The point is that it is a courtesy to the people around you to wear a mask so that if you contract the…

your story seems to completely validate the premise of the article that the police are bad at deciding who and when to stop?

Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it in Atmos. Just wait til you see the Star Wars Holiday Special in 7.1.4, total game changer.

One of my FB friends posted it like 3 times, saying “they keep deleting it!” like that was some reasoning as to why it must be true. There’s a cover-up! They don’t want you to know what’s real! We better keep posting about it and talking about it so everyone can see it! Fight the system!

But that’d be dirty socialism. The American corporations demand government intervention in all facets like the good Lord and red-blooded CAPITALISM demand!

If all the automakers were gone, I’d start by making brown, manual wagons. And I’d run them on a car-treadmill for at least 75,000 miles before they hit the showroom floor. Spilling some stuff in the cabin is a small upcharge.

I’m always intrigued by these calls to open the Japanese market to American cars. Every year American car makers output diverges more and more from what the Japanese market wants. Want to sell in a market? Make what that market wants.

I doubt it’ll be like this once the main threat is over. “Social distancing” is to protect the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. When enough people have herd immunity to the virus, it won’t be able to run out of control anymore. A better president, restocked medical supplies, and an actual pandemic response…

I mainly think this is going to continue in phases. For a lot of America, it isn’t even real yet. And that should be a good thing, but the trend has been that places aren’t issuing stay at home directives until it arrives. Only 30 states have issued these types of directives.

Now that my contract is finally cancelled, I can finally talk about it: Until Monday, I was doing machine learning for an ad agency that Ford contracted back in 2018. Ford still has the contract, but the agency (I’m not naming them because they may want to re-hire me once this all turns around) is shedding a lot of…

lol these April timelines are a joke. The US hasn’t even hit peak, not even close. The US was slow to react and slow to get it managed properly, and some states still have their head buried in the sand  

He admitted to sexually assaulting women. One chamber has impeached him.

Serious question: Trump has gotten away with everything else, including impeachment, so why would COVID-19 be any different?

If Bernie is the eventual nominee I will vote for him. I would vote for a ham sandwich if it ended up at the top of the ticket. After this shitshow of a primary ends vote for whoever comes out of Milwaukee. Anyone of them is better than Trump.

All I did was make a list of the key points from the man’s plan. I think you’re angry at the wrong person.
