He was referring to the H1N1, which I am not sure why the media would be reporting on something that they reported on in 2009. Also, they had a vaccine for H1N1 at that time, which the fox article of course leaves out. Just deflect and blame others is his M.O.

My wife is going nuts about it.

Wealth and nepotism make an unfair justice system. Not really sure what your point is. This could be written about the family of just about any wealthy family, including the Trumps.

That is not very scathing. You must be a pretty pleasant person if that is you being scathing.

Probably gave you covid too!

I haven't driven one in probably 15 years, so I can if needed, but not really preferred. I think they are impractical if you live in a metropolitan area. My current car is an automatic with paddle shifters, so I can generally get the upside of manual if I need to.

It won't, but honestly the report is not that shocking. I am sure the U.S. will use similar tactics, and this has been going for a long time. The best you can do is sanction, something Trump will probably be reluctant to do with Russia.

I just got to the part where the big narrative switch happens half way through. I definitely see why its a controversial decision, but I understand completely why they have made the game this way and I think I'm down for it.

And yeah I am loving it so far. My only real complaint is the gameplay is definitely repetitive, a step down from the first in that regard but the gameplay is also made better through some additional elements. I think its fine, just playing it for about 5 hours a day the last 3 nights has just worn me out, think I might take a break from it for a little while.

The story, while not being as good as the first for sure, I think is told in a stronger, more engaging way which makes up for the generic conflict that acts as the narrative force behind the action. It's really impressive. Overall, so far, I think I prefer the first, but this is definitely a solid game, and the people who hate it (assuming they liked the first) only seem to because either 1. they are whiny internet trolls or 2. the narrative 'twists' don't sit right with them at all, which I understand, but I think its a dumb way to look at a game, as they seem to only want fan-service.

This is about how I feel, I haven't finished it yet, a little bit further than you I think. I think they could of paced the "narrative shift" in a better way, but will have to see how it plays out. Maybe they can release a remixed version as a free new game+ or something.

You must have never played Mass Effect 3.

I have, and agree the ending sucked. However, it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the previous 2 games, nor even the 3rd game up to that point. I get your point though, the ending to mass effect does ruin some of the narrative in the prior games. The individual stories and gameplay still holds up though. If the ending of The Last of Us 2 is on that level of bad, I will certainly be critical of it, but as of right now I am enjoying the game as a whole quite a bit. The story has been a bit predictable would be my only complaint so far.

The game has been pretty amazing for me so far. I haven't finished it, so I can't fully say if I like the story, but even if it falls flat, I don't think there is anyway I could consider it a bad game. Review bombing is mostly from the anti-SJW crowd and others who just want the game to be very similar to the first one.

I like the bold choices in the story so far, but I generally prefer a story that may challenge me in unexpected ways. Just like a novel or a tv show, to me the ending doesn't not necessarily ruin the journey. For example, I am a fan of the novel The Stand, but I think the ending is pretty bad.

This video is wild. That guy with the pizza and blunt is my hero for the day.

Currently, yes. When I was younger I had a lot of negative experiences with police.

I hear what you are saying, I think it can have that affect. Personally, I have found a lot of music I connect with highly because of streaming, but I also tend to listen to full albums and will support those bands by purchasing the album on vinyl or a shirt or something.

I think if you are mostly into pop or music that is popular with the general populace, there is a real loss of value with streaming, it is all about the single now instead of the album.

It puts a weird line in my beard when I take it off.

The timers always seemed pretty generous to me, and it was only a few missions. I didn't play on the hardest difficulties though.

I am not sure if there is someone I could care less about hearing their opinion on the Star Wars movies. I am going to guess there is a lot of whining as usual.

I couldn't imagine eating a triple with a large fry. My favorite from Whataburger is the patty melt. My favorite burger overall is the Terlingua from a place called Rodeo Goat. It has havarati cheese, chili, onion, corn chips, and garlic mayo. It is amazing.

I will agree that you can't blame him for this mess entirely, but to say he has done everything right is absolutely ridiculous.

I have been working from home for years. I have a ton of work and it hasn't really slowed at all so far. I don't think it will slow much over the next few months, but time will tell. We do a lot of special projects in the summer for clients, there may be less of these this year, but I would think most have already been sold.

I work from home normally, so not a whole has changed. My wife and our roommate are now both working from home as well, so that is different. I keep hearing all these people who have all this extra free time, but it seems like I am busier than usual.

the economy is fake and people's lives aren't. easy choice

This, it is a myth that we all buy into and believe. It is pretty sad reality when money is considered more important than people's lives. Is this really the type of society we want to live in? I understand that is the society we live, but maybe we should reconsider after this, we won't, but we probably should.

He would lose as an independent.

I'm frustrated about all the grocery stores being closed too (all the 24 hour stores are closing here despite my state having 0 confirmed cases so far)

I'm not going to let my frustration go and make me be a dick to people working fast food. When I heard places aren't allowing diners any more in some states I never thought that means "I can just walk in" and I wouldn't try to make a point over arguing the specific meaning of how their sign is worded.

Closing all day, or having temporary periods of closing? I know most of the stores are working on shorter hours, but I think it is mostly so they can restock/sanitize without having to deal with customers. Walmart near me that is usually 24 hours is operating on a 6 am - 11 pm schedule.

It's done. Stars fan here, that is one way to stop a losing streak.

I thought it was fantastic.

I am back to being obsessed with this game again. I played it pretty far on the wii u, but didn't finish it. Then I bought it awhile back on the switch with all the DLC and would play a little here and there, but it wasn't catching my interest. Past couple weeks I have been playing it with most of my free time. Almost caught up to where I was on the wii u.

Not sure how so many people get so many games as gifts. I have one (which I am not sure how I got it). I would trade it for something else as I already have the game:

The Witcher: Enhanced edition.

I drove a small pickup Dodge Dakota for 10 years. It still remains one of my favorite cars that I have owned. I don't see why it can't be used for a daily driver, I didn't find it any more uncomfortable or difficult than any car I have owned. I can understand with the massive pickups, I wouldn't want to own one of those unless I needed it for towing purposes (parking would be a nightmare).

I always have the desire to start playing this again, but don't want to sign up unless I am going to play consistently. Now may be a decent time though, not a lot coming out for awhile.

PC: Planet Zoo
Xbox: Stellaris
Switch: Stardew Valley
PS4: Dark Souls Remastered

I have a signed first edition of A Game of Thrones, bought it long before the show came out and I believe it is worth a good amount now.

Yeah, it was a good one.
