    - Yup. Last pizzas I got they had actually removed the tip can. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 09:30

Remember when people cheered when all those CEOs signed a thing saying profits weren't the only thing through the Business Roundtable? Yeah... -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 15, 08:36
This tweet by No White Saviors kind of finally nails down my issue with the Gates'. Obsession of with black people's deaths. -- (edited) - colin Apr 15, 08:34 15
- So their predictions of mass deaths hasn't come to pass. Should the Gates Foundation refocus their energies elsewhere? -- nm - Mop Apr 15, 08:44 1
  - absolutely.. they should have been focusing on the US - it's one of the hardest hit countries in the world. -- nm - colin Apr 15, 09:00
- I get why people would be suspicious but I don't think it has to be sinister motivations - Reagen Apr 15, 08:43 12
  - the Gates Foundation is about a legacy and protection of wealth - colin Apr 15, 08:57 11
    - Ideally Gates Foundation would create a machine to keep Jimmy Carter alive indefinitely and then we'd fund Carter's foundation efforts. -- nm - Max Apr 15, 09:34
    - 100% co-sign on your last paragraph. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 08:58 9
      - Agreed. They should just Scrooge McDuck it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 09:00 8
        
        or... crazy idea here... they should be taxed at a reasonable rate to fund public works instead of hiding their wealth in an unregulated foundation. -- nm - colin Apr 15, 09:02 7
        
        Agreed, we as a society should do that! But we currently don't, so doing some good is....good? -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 09:13 1
        
        sure, but the amount of praise he receives never comes with the deserved criticism. and why is he, as a multi-billionaire, somehow different from - colin Apr 15, 09:41
        
        Well, we sure would have a wall now. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 15, 09:05 1
        
        or with a robust safety net, the resentment that led to Trump may never have materialized. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 09:06
        
        Of all the people to be going off about right now, Buffett and Gates should be lowest on the list. -- nm* - Inigo Apr 15, 09:04 2
        
        i can go off on more than one person at a time. i have the bandwidth for it. -- nm - colin Apr 15, 09:40
        
        Disagreed! -- nm - POTUS Apr 15, 09:08
Let´s see if this pays off. Apparently, a public research institute here has had some very promissing results with a possible vaccine. - Marlowe Apr 15, 08:26 3
- Strike that, it's not a vaccine, it's a medicine. That does not include the choloriquine, it seems. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 15, 08:34 1
  - still good.. anything that can provide relief is helpful. - colin Apr 15, 08:40
- By the other hand, the Health Minister staff is beggining to say eff it and quit their jobs. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 15, 08:31
LIR: Jax - this video explains it really well (with examples!) - colin Apr 15, 08:25 [youtube] 1
- i'm also guessing Beryl can explain it better than i can ;) -- nm - colin Apr 15, 08:29
Detective Pikachu Movie is Free Viewing on Amazon Prime Video -- (link*) - budice Apr 15, 08:25 17

        ::fires cannon:: - Spawn Apr 15, 09:24 1
        
        OMG L4! -- nm - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 09:34
- I’ll get right on that. -- nm - Mop Apr 15, 08:29
- It's fine. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 08:26 8
  - Yeah. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 08:26 7
    - Pretty much. I hadn't liked Psyduck before. -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 08:27 6
      - Psyduck was always my Pokemon (pretty much my only one). Spoil me. - Spawn Apr 15, 08:43 2
        
        Support - ty97 Apr 15, 08:44 1
        
        Cool. Maybe we will watch. I think my mom took Logan to see it but he might rewatch with us. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 08:50
      - I thought it was fun. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 15, 08:42
      - most of the actual Pokemon stuff was fairly incomprehensible - it was like listening to my nephew describe his cards. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 08:29 1
        
        Yeah, I could see that. Even playing PoGo I don't know the back story from the cartoons/anime/whatever of many of the pokemon. - ty97 Apr 15, 08:30
So, I mentioned to Logan I had a few codes for Animal Crossing. He said, "Great, I can go there and [extensive troll them]!" - Spawn Apr 15, 08:15 3
- Heh. It is possible, yeah. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 15, 08:21
- There are definitely ways he can ruin people’s islands. Until he’s made a best friend, that is more limited. But after that, deforestation... - Qale Apr 15, 08:19 1
  - I am 99% sure he was trolling *me*, but will wait. - Spawn Apr 15, 08:31
Is it possible to have too many LEGO Minifigures? -- (pic) - TWuG Apr 15, 08:12 [Attachment] 10
- Not quite there. Yet. - Mr. Havens Apr 15, 09:25
- I keep my Sar wars and marvel/DC ones separate from the dregs -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 08:36
- You're right. *tosses out his complete series 1 and series 2 sets* -- nm - Mop Apr 15, 08:31 2
  - I have every series. Those I keep separate. 20 comes out soon. -- nm - TWuG Apr 15, 08:34 1
    - The current room doesn't allow for that, sadly -- nm - TWuG Apr 15, 08:34
- How did you get my nephews' minifigures? -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 08:16
- -250 Spawn Points - Spawn Apr 15, 08:12 3
  - I have a lot displayed. -- (pic) - TWuG Apr 15, 08:17 [Attachment] 2
    - My favorite displays are just rows and rows of the mini-figs. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 08:32
    - you should set up a huge battlefield with all of those and all of the mini guys and use firecrackers and blow everything up ! -- nm* - decline Apr 15, 08:19
From b2: I have given away all of my shifts since March 29th as I am wary of heading into HEB daily. So, I’ve been making nothing. -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 08:10 9
- WFH, same hours, same pay. SM got his April base salary but no one knows about May for him yet -- nm - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 08:46
- WFH. Still doing projects for two small firms and gaining some clients on my own (in ethics and election law). Monthly income is down just over 60%. - ReluctantCynic Apr 15, 08:43
- qale can you email me? I have a question a houstion may be able to answer. thanks - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 08:30 3
  - And I was like... “Yoooooooooooooo!” -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 09:11 2
    - lol. now I've got a Salt n Pepper ear worm. -- nm - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 09:18 1
      - My version is from the “Don’t watch an anime called Boku” meme. -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 09:24
- WFH, 75% less pay. but also spending about 90% less and don't have to float $30k in travel costs for months on end. - colin Apr 15, 08:27 1
  - I am also spending less. Very nearly zero outside of normal bills and groceries. -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 08:52
- Still WFH for the foreseeable future. Furlough 1 week per month through June so 25 percent less pay. - Dark Callisto Apr 15, 08:24
NWBR - higher risk - sure. Unnecessary risk? Hell no. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 08:05 3
- Right. But unnecessary risk is a bit in the eye of the beholder. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 08:07 2
  - I think YMMV for different localities - Reagen Apr 15, 08:10 1
    - No, I just cited it as a bias identifier. I'm not suggesting that there aren't hot spots where there is more risk required. But again... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 08:23
Someone remind me to get a massage when this is all over. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Apr 15, 08:04 2
- Amen sista -- nm - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 08:31
- right? -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 08:25
So what's the name of the Sorcerer's Arena club and may I join? The game is a little crashy on my tablet but not too bad. - B-A-ron Apr 15, 08:04
Everything is the same as the Beforetimes for me. Except the added stress of leaving the house, so now I'm even more of a shut-in. - Beryllium Apr 15, 08:04
I can see 21-ish gyms from home. So I can actually raid again when this rolls out. -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 08:02 14
- I can see 7. At my old house, it would have been 0. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 08:34
- I don't lucky egg much anymore. Feel free to open a gift whenever. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 15, 08:07 1
  - Yeah, same. I've over 100m XP so I only ever do it to burn an egg. - ty97 Apr 15, 08:08
- I'm pumped for the bulk power up thing. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 15, 08:04 3
  - That plus the stacking of starpieces. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 15, 08:14 1
    - I always forget on CD too. Will be nice for Liverpool this weekend -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 08:39
  - SO MUCH -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 08:08
- I can see 2-ish from home. At work, I can see like 17. So, yeah. Bummer. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 15, 08:03 6
  - Even with 2, it's still the possibility to raid, even if it's timburr raids. -- nm - ty97 Apr 15, 08:09 5
    - Ayup...but it's 100 bucks per? that kinda sucks. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 15, 08:17 4
      - 100 coins, same as regular passes. 100 bucks and people would just spoof. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 15, 08:21 3
        
        It takes me months to earn enough coins to buy a box (I extremely rarely spend any real money on the game). - JaxSean Apr 15, 08:44 2
        
        Well, it takes about a month of max coins every day to get the top box. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 15, 09:24
        
        I don't spend a lot on the game, but I do spend since I enjoy the game. - ty97 Apr 15, 08:46
the thing about WFH is that every meeting is in the same place, so they just stack. there's no "walk to another room or another building" - amanda Apr 15, 08:01 2
- take the laptop with you when you pee and it can be like going to another office for the meeting -- nm - decline Apr 15, 08:02 1
  - Number of times I've used the restroom while in meetings: - ty97 Apr 15, 08:03
Right about now. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 08:01
