Off topic for the movie review, but maybe more broadly on topic for the thread: "nobody talks like this" This is a game introduced to me by a 4 year old. You take turns saying "nobody talks like this" in the most ridicul

Wow, just imagining how much more waste we would generate if all of human population needed PPE every time we left our homes as the new normal.

The arguments that Smalls was singled out and that it was already 18 days past his contact seem like notable things to look into further. The "5 minute" contact argument doesn't make any sense to me, and only works to weaken

Yet another example of "words matter", and the potential consequences when leaders do not use careful consideration in their word choices.

It is not meant to fix the underlying problem. It is meant to help those in need buy essential items like food and medicine, and possibly even pay their rent, but it probably won't be enough for even that when your family needs to eat

Has this story been noticed by any other media outlets? If this is all true, the parties involved deserve to be shamed into oblivion, but will need more attention for that to happen.

Possibly literally are strong words indeed. More than anything, I fear the mob panic this thinking invokes more than the virus or potential economic collapse. Fear is kinda funny that way - many people fear the future, but I fear the effect

Most people I know are not large companies. They live paycheck to paycheck, and some lost their work shifts for the rest of March _already_.

There is also a certain irony that closing down classes and housing as a way to avoid large groups of people gathering in the same places ended up being a trigger for the gathering of a large group of people to protest.

I get it that this is a simple thing one can do today to help increase their privacy a little, but this is wholly the wrong attitude. One can still easily be caught up in a geofence dragnet without riding bikes, regardless of how often they

Wow that is quite a lot of employees, but this excerpt came across a bit odd to me: > At the end of 2014, it employed 74,117 people... > By 2015, 74,335 people were employed So the increase of 0.29% over a brief although somewhat ambi
