- Isn't this graph a bit misleading? - JaxSean Apr 1, 09:32 2
  - i think showing curves by state are also important. some states are doing much better than others. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 09:33 1
    - I mean, California almost has the population of Spain. They would be at ~ 0.02% - JaxSean Apr 1, 09:39

- I wish China would properly report. -- nm - Spawn Apr 1, 09:11 1
  - yeah, including that is kind of wild. people are tracking urn purchasing and think that their death toll is over 80k. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 09:24
- we're trapped in this until you get your shit tight no matter how good we do here, so I'd appreciate you guys stepping up. -- nm - Reagen Apr 1, 09:11 2
  - Ugh, that makes me sick (not literally). YOu have to sit and wait while Donnie fucks us all up. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 09:13
  - My thermometer should arrive tomorrow, okay?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 09:12
- I don't like that graph -- nm - JackDawson Apr 1, 09:07 5

- this is like one of the things Dan Carlin said that i really liked... - colin Apr 1, 08:56 4
  - Right? No way I could have known. -- nm - POTUS Apr 1, 08:57 3
    - right? not like history showed you how to be prepared or anything. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 08:58 2
      - Especially when the only history I have is Obama! -- nm - POTUS Apr 1, 08:59 1

- You realize what today is, right? -- nm - Spawn Apr 1, 08:33 3
  - Yes, which is why I fully expect the answer to be "no". -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 08:36
  - this is the absolute worst time to be doing april fool jokes :( -- nm - colin Apr 1, 08:35 1
    - This. -- nm - Andie Apr 1, 08:55
- If it is, this is true -- (link) - JaxSean Apr 1, 08:32
Little Mix is the best girl group in the world. It’s time America gave them a listen. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 1, 08:25 16
- They're... fine. I'd like their songs on Spotify, but they'd have to wait their turn for a spot on The Twenty. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 08:54 1
  - Fine? FINE?! FFFFIIINNNNNEEEE?!?!?!?!?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 09:06

  - yeah, I've always been a fan -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 08:29
- Maybe if they got a decent name. -- nm - Spawn Apr 1, 08:28 3
  - They were originally Rhythmix on the show but had to change the name due to a conflict with a charity of that name -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 08:49 1
    - I didn't know that. I'd swear that Rhythmix is a Dance Dance Revolution version -- nm - JD Apr 1, 08:51
  - Don't hate. It's appropriate and descriptive of their origin. -- nm - JD Apr 1, 08:30
- *sees photo* nope. - JaxSean Apr 1, 08:27 7
  - DO IT -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 08:27 6

      - Who? -- nm - Radiohead Apr 1, 08:42 3
        
        Pfft. Radiohead, Kasabian, and Biffy Clyro all headlined TRNSMT festival in 2017. - JaxSean Apr 1, 08:46 2

- Pfft. Amateurs -- (link) - TWuG Apr 1, 08:21 1
  - Looks like they rendered it with Google Maps (not built in-game) as I suggested in my Microsoft AI post above. -- nm - Mop Apr 1, 08:27
Mexicans mowing the lawn in the gated community--essential? -- nm - JackDawson Apr 1, 08:17 4

- Mexicans, no. :) -- nm - oblique Apr 1, 08:18

Re: Loeffler, you also have to love the “I’m so disgustingly rich do you think these trades actually matter?” undercurrent in her response. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 07:56

I will say this, our frozen pizza consumption has significantly increased over the last 3 weeks. -- nm - Shaun Apr 1, 07:39 12
- Ive wound up having more snack meals than full meals -- nm* - budice Apr 1, 08:13
- my coworked told me (related ish) that her husband and kids eat *all day* working from home. like, a hobbit-esque amount of meals. - amanda Apr 1, 08:09 2

    - I think I may be stress cooking a bit. I currently have a huge pot of Sunday gravy, a cauldron of French country-style chicken stew, a container -- (edited) - Diva Apr 1, 08:16
- I'm working from home for the first day today. I'm going to have a Quest pizza :) -- nm - oblique Apr 1, 07:41 7

    - Dr Oetker, thin crust? the best and only option. -- nm - Andie Apr 1, 07:44 4
      - Noted, even though I'm not terribly fond of any of the thin crust offerings I've had in the past. -- nm - Shaun Apr 1, 08:55
      - OMG, right? that spinach one is aces. -- nm - amanda Apr 1, 07:59 1

      - Delissio Canadian is our staple. -- nm* - Shaun Apr 1, 07:51
way LIR for crash - let me explain why i said all of that, if you're interested in a conversation. -- (edited) - colin Apr 1, 07:35 [Backboard] 12
- I agree with most if not all of what you say. Out of curiosity, when did you change or how or why your views on these things? And forgive me if I'm - JackDawson Apr 1, 07:38 10
  - correct, i used to be that semi-republican/libertarian who didn't give a lot of thought to this stuff. -- (edited) - colin Apr 1, 07:57 9
    - this is a great and thankful explanation! I'm glad I asked and that you answered - JackDawson Apr 1, 08:16 2
      - no problem. i think it's important to change but also to acknowledge that your prior views were damaging. - colin Apr 1, 08:19 1
        
        It's important specially for the individual's self-growth. To be 100% honest I'm just always curious about what finally makes someone modify - JackDawson Apr 1, 08:35
    - A very fractionally related comment. - Qale Apr 1, 08:00 5
      - I have noticed, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Apr 1, 08:04 3
        
        How did you know that I really liked Mrs Colin?! Freaky. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 08:11 2
        
        You know what I mean. -- nm - Reagen Apr 1, 08:38
        
        if anybody follows you at all on social media, it's... kind of getting creepy. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 08:16
      - aww - colin Apr 1, 08:02
