  1. From earlier this evening... My father in law lost his cell phone on the golf course this afternoon. It was raining so we didn’t have much hope it would still be working but he shares the location with his wife so i gave it the old college try and went out there to look for it (he’s older and we weren’t confident he would have any success). I asked my wife to start calling it when I was close to the gps location in the unlikely event it still worked. Luckily, it did. Was able to find it from the ringer noise and answered the phone when I picked it up. Me (on my FIL’s phone): Hey My wife: Hey. Any luck?

  2. I honestly am not seeing all that much CR unless you think “I think the President is downplaying this to a dangerous degree” and “the government is mishandling this IMO” are CR-worthy comments. There have been some CR-worthy takes here and there, but not much. I’m curious how much of this “take it to CR” shit is really “I disagree and I don’t want to argue about it.”

  3. Wow. During that same span, Army went undefeated 6 times and had a season record of .800 or better 10 times. But yeah, I'm sure it was all because of their fake Army commitments.

  5. I'm sorry, but this is a ridiculous conclusion. On whatever issue you want to identify--healthcare, immigration, guns--the Democrats are significantly to the left of where they were five or ten years ago. Ten years ago, single-payor didn't have the support of a majority of Democrats. Now it's considered to be the most moderate acceptable position that one can have as a Democratic officeholder. Ten years ago, the Obama Administration was deporting more people than the Bush Administration (and touting it as a success). The actions taken by the Obama Administration are now considered anathema. Ten years ago, the notion of any meaningful gun control was a fringe position within the Democratic Party. Now, it's virtually a requirement. And we can go further down the list on social and economic policy. But I challenge you to find me a single issue on which the Overton Window of Democratic politics hasn't shifted markedly to the left. And that leftward shift is entirely why you're seeing Biden have to explain so many of his past positions. It's not that Joe Biden was some sort of John Connelly Democrat. It's that Biden was a reasonably mainstream Democrat, and the idea of what it is to be a mainstream Democrat has significantly changed over the last decade.

  6. JFC there's been plenty of cloaking in this thread that's not related at all to a planned response to the outbreak. Broadbrush painting entire groups of people as being backwoods and stupid and therefore "Trumpy"-- as one poster did above-- is the absolute definition of cloaking up this thread. I mean, what kind of responses does anyone expect with inflammatory statements like that? There can be no expectation of civil discourse when that kind of statement is made. I can't stand Trump and didn't vote for him and that still doesn't change the fact that I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR BULLSHIT POLITICAL OPINION AND I DON'T WANT TO READ IT HERE. Keep it to yourself. Or if you just can't manage that bare minimum level of the tiniest shred of self-control, then take it to the Cloak Room with all the other dipshits who love to read and write about this stupid crap. Thanks in advance.

  7. A health care provider from WA state called in to NPR this morning and said that a big issue they are having is people with minor symptoms going to the ER panicked about COVID19. Without testing, the ER is forced to assume that they are infected and place them in isolation with airborne protocols. Even if they do have COVID19, their symptoms do not necessitate hospitalization, and it's putting a strain on the availability of services for those truly in need. If you or a family member is sick, but not having difficulty breathing or otherwise showing a rapid decline in health, STAY THE FUCK AT HOME! Self-quarantine yourself. For most people with mild symptoms, you are no longer contagious 10 days after the onset of symptoms. But for the love of God, don't show up to the ER and expect to be catered to while others with actual health risks (age/pre-existing conditions) are forced to wait for access to bed, HCW, medical equipment, etc. This is the least we can do to prevent strain on what is soon to be a very overwhelmed medical system.

  9. I was walking through the HEB the other day with a surreal sense, watching little kids with their fingers in their mouth, old people scratching their nose before rummaging around the meat cooler, and watching hot milfs strut in their yoga pants. For a moment things kinda slowed down and the background noise faded and I just thought to myself..."fuck all these people...damn that's a nice ass...but fuck all these people."

  13. Pretty sure I told this on this thread/the old site, but fits this theme: Mrs. Ramjet (for the 7th time that day): I've lost my phone, and I can't find it. Help me? Ramjet: No. Mrs. R: (tone) Ramjet: Just call the number and find the noise. Mrs. R: (picks up different phone and dials her number) Mrs. R's phone: RING! Mrs. R: (finds her phone while still holding phone she just dialed from) Hey! I missed a call!

  14. It's getting more and more difficult by the day (hour?) to discuss coronavirus in the U.S. without addressing the stunning incompetence of the governmental response. The President has handled the situation abysmally thus far, but so have many other governmental organizations.

  16. Have you paid attention to what the countries have done in order to "get it under control"? China literally locked down their population. Never going to happen here. South Korea is a well oiled machine who was inifinitely more prepared than we will likely ever be. Again, cannot be replicated here. Italy is now attempting to 'get it under control' by shutting down the entire country. Success TBD. So exactly how do you anticipate the USA 'gets it under control in a week or two" and if so, with the measures that would need to be enacted in order to accomplish that, elaborate on why the 'panic here is disproportionate to the reality". Show your work.

  17. Did you actually read the exchange that you are referencing? A tweet from a Dr was posted and presented as unbiased advice. Further examination of tweets from said Dr show that he is in fact very biased in favor of BANNED NAME, hence his account is "BANNED WORD", which is without dispute. No one implied that "BANNED WORD" meant backwoods or dumb, that was YOU.

  19. The big difference between the nations you mentioned and our nation's response is that we aren't taking any steps to measure the outbreak, to contain the outbreak, or to motivate the public to follow health best practices. The leader of our federal government has been saying that it's just a flu, he's actively admitted that he doesn't want to test cruise ships for CV19 because it will "make his numbers go up", and don't want to give travel guidance to avoid travel if you're elderly or immunocompromised. Now, none of those things on their own are that big of a deal in a vacuum. But combined, it can lead to people letting their guard down, to going to Disneyland anyways during spring break, to thinking that it's not that big a deal because the people in charge say it is so. This is not a fact or evidence based way to view the CV19 pandemic.

  21. Jokes on you. I self-identity as a politician. It's really a psychological disorder, but you must respect my identity self-determination none the less. And you just said my name. Therefore the tolerant thing for you to do would be to self ban.

  22. Next person who says a politicians fucking name in this god damned thread is getting a week off. DO NOT SAY POLITICIANS NAMES, DO NOT USE POLITICAL PARTIES AS QUALIFIERS OR ADJECTIVES - USE THEIR CURRENT POSITION IN GOVERNMENT ONLY Examples: Trump is such a dumbass and got us into this stupid mess and all the democrats that enabled him along the way are fucking part of the problem too! BANNED Our POTUS is such a dumbass and got us into this stupid mess and THE SENATE AND HIS CABINET MEMBERS enabled them along the way - the whole government is a mess! NOT BANNED

  25. To tell y’all the truth, I am worried enough to consider avoiding Happy Hour with our friends, particularly when one returns from a cruise down under in Oz and three others get back from a couple of weeks in Portugal. 75, obese, heart disease, and an occasional canker sore, any bout with a flu or Corona would cash in my chips. Had a bronchial infection a year ago that lasted 3 weeks and was pretty debilitating for awhile. No, my guns are already spoken for. 🖕

  26. So I’ve been buying extra food and supplies for the last 2 weeks, but today after the lock down in New York I finally convinced my wife to let me go full blown hoarder mode. She grew up under rations in communist Cuba, so I thought it would be a good idea take her with me to stock up. You know, for cheap food that will last a long time Boy that was a mistake, because She has really developed a love for the bougie lifestyle. let’s just say I have a couple months worth of artisan crips, organic ramen, fair trade beans and other similar things.

  27. So calling a liar a liar is now an "unforced error"? Fuck that asshole and fuck the NRA and everyone who agrees with this idiot. Seriously, none of those people were voting for him anyway. They are a fucking cult of assholes who have their king asshole to vote for. They are idiots who believe "viral videos" because the want to. They are the republican party. "He tells it like it is." "He doesn't take shit from anyone." Why is that ok now for republicans but not for democrats? So the republican can continue insulting handicap people and war heroes, but the democrat is supposed to calmly tell a lying piece of shit "well good sir if you saw a video then who am I to disagree?" Fuck that, and fuck him, and fuck you if you think he's just supposed to take that shit. That is how democrats lost in the first place. Letting lying pieces of shit lie and pretending that they shouldn't call it a lie. I like seeing Biden stand up for himself and against these assholes. It will awaken some voters who are sick of the diarrhea laced lies coming from trump and his supporters on an hourly basis.

  32. Yes, we can't possibly stomach reading a comment about coronavirus from the fucking President of the USA in a thread about the coronavirus. Think about that. Actually, don't think about that, because you seem to be a moron and you'd only hurt yourself if you did.

  33. As posted, it is completely and thoroughly asinine to say you can't post a tweet from the fucking President about the subject of the thread.
