I slept 7 hours last night and still fell asleep tonight. Doing nothing today was exhausting. I can feel my mental health slipping just a little bit from not working which sucks because working also damages my mental health I'm going to need to figure something out needless to say I'm not enjoying the coronavirus arc very much
Anno
I know you said solo hobbies aren't your forte but in these times we find ourselves in all I can really say is to try and find one to dedicate yourself to. I'm not really good at brainstorming group activities and I doubt anything I can think up would be something that would be up your alley. So if solo activities are really not something you can engage in I hope you've got some other social circles you can find help from.

they're talkin about taking the UBI idea seriously throwin money from helicopters we are so fucked
it doesnt make any sense every country in the developed world is freezing evictions and rent and all of that the US is like "we'll just give you money to give your landlord"

but now the landlords get EXTRA money please think of the landlords please
the clinical director at work is mad that they took that sanitizer hoarder's shit and redistributed it to people who need it because it's not "free markets" man fuck your free markets people are dyin

italy has shown roughly 5500 new cases every day for the last several days instead of increasing cases every day which suggests the lockdown is working to reduce spread
>You have been receiving informative updates from our medical director regarding the coronavirus. Please study and follow his valuable guidance. You will be receiving information from Dr. W. Please study and follow Dr. W’s valuable guidance. Let’s compete with the virus and win. The people we have the opportunity to treat placed faith in us. Let’s give it back to them by being smart in all we do, and we win by minimizing adverse effects. And that obviously also applies to how we treat our teammates.
Like, literally, what the fuck are you talking about, CEO-san. This says NOTHING.
>During the last several years our team has helped thousands of persons with very difficult issues and as a result they have a much better quality of life. We have survived some really big challenges and we have done so as a team. Now we get a real challenge thrown at us with a virus that is unpredictable and will challenge our judgment, maturity and poise. Let’s do what we do and love the challenge. It will get really rough. I believe we are tough enough to do well.

>with a virus that
Anno
Okay fuck off Internet. >with a virus that is unpredictable This is the most dumb cliched shit ever. A virus is easily predictable. This isn't some sci-fi horror where the strain is evolving faster than we can study it or anything. We know how the virus spreads and we know how to prevent new cases. It's not the virus which is unpredictable it's the dumb-ass human beings carrying it which are.
two of our clinicians are in quarantine due to contact with a potentially infected individual already and since there aren't readily available tests anywhere...
>>818026 Yeah, literally everything this virus has done was predicted. There are and have been clear guidelines for working through this pandemic since we found out its properties. Shutting it down would be extremely simple for any state with even merely infefficient resource allocation. The fact that the US can't respond to it just goes to show how little anyone cares which explains why we can't allocate our resources properly.
We're already out of respirators and these respirator companies have the ability to increase production by up to 500% without even abusing workers but they aren't doing it because it would cost them money.
rook
well yeah it'll only kill the old poors anyway, they're not even making money for the job creators
>Your dedication to providing excellent treatment and support for our patients is appreciated very much and especially during a very challenging time created by the coronavirus. I care very much about the welfare of our patients and each of you. Thank you for paying attention to the emails that Drs. L and W and I have sent you. We will get through this and we will do so because we have the desire to provide great treatment and we care very much for our teammates. And, as I wrote you Sunday, we are tough.
>If you follow the guidance provided by Drs. L and W, we should all be doing what is right and feel positive about our decisions. If you feel you may have the coronavirus, or you have any symptom of respiratory illness, please stay away from your work facility. If you do not have any symptom, and are not sick in another way that would normally keep you away, our patients need you to work as scheduled. Until we change this policy, you will be paid if you do not work and it is likely your “paid time off” will be used if you stay away from work.
>We intend to provide services to our patients and have no desire to shut down any operations and will not shut any operations unless we are forced to do so.

they're saying they're only allowing telehealth for clients at an outpatient level of care lol
Anno
It kinda demonstrates how they're really talking in such bad faith here. Like you can't claim to care about your employees and the patients they care for and then in the same breath say despite the severity of the pandemic we still want to you to work as normal. Either you 1., don't actually care about the people you claim to (Shocking!), or b), don't actually believe in the severity of the pandemic. Or honestly probably both.

Yeah the crisp turned out decent. I think the test run of chipotle powder is a no-go though. We had some in the cabinet so I figured I'd see how it works and it's not really doing much for me.

you can still get the cash without a bank account but I still wouldn't like going out to do that
Anno
There's probably quite a number of Americans that don't have bank accounts whether through preference or circumstance. I wonder what the solution would be for that.
>>818061 Yeah, but only if the check is WITH the bank you're cashing it at. So you can't cash a bofa check with wells fargo for example.
I'm not sure what bank the government would use would be. It might be a generic check that has to be accepted anywhere.
Anno
What would a cheque from the federal government look like, yeah.
I've gotten cheques from the Canadian federal government in the mail. I don't think they're through any particular banking insitution I think it's just a cheque accepted country-wide.
you can take a bofa check to walmart and pay a check-cashing fee though ive done that with a couple checks ive gotten
a lot of people have to do that with every paycheck and it's brutal pay a fee just to get your meager wage poor people really get a hard dicking by society
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Oh yeah, that's true. You can get it cashed elsewhere for a fee.
i can't put cash in my paypal account either though sadly it is a pretty precarious situation
i might be able to go buy a visa prepaid card in cash, then make a paypal payment to myself with a fee using the prepaid card it's a mess though
i think if paypal ever realizes my attached bank account has been closed out for 5 years they'll probably put a hold on my account too unless theyve changed their policy recently it's such a jank system i have to go through

it's gonna be really frustrating seeing people buy video games and shit with the coronavirus checks because so many of us are going to struggle to pay rent and the check won't even cover a portion of it for many
if they give me $1000 a month, i still have $200 of rent to pay and $300 of utilities
Anno
Yeah a thousand a month really isn't meant to like cover all your living expenses. That's kind of the wonk of UBI that a lot of people don't really get. It's never supposed to replace your need to work, just offset a bit of it to give common people breathing room.
Which is a nice notion but in a pandemic state where almost every opportunity to work is shuttered, it doesn't really work out properly.

>>818097 exactly $1000 a month would be super helpful if i were still making money from my job but if i can't work for a few weeks then ???
i've had to spend an extra $400 that i hadn't budgeted for due to my sinusitus and extra pandemic prep if i actually get coronavirus i am likely to need hospitalization which will cost so much money since i don't even have INSURANCE BECAUSE OF OBAMA
But then how would the rich get even richer if they can't profit off poisoning us and then treating us!

Apparently my mother and maybe her siblings have managed to convince their parents to cut short their wintering in Florida and come back to Canada. They're in their nineties now I think, so getting a serious illness like that would probably be brutal. Initially they were like "Oh it's fine we've got another six weeks here" but I guess the combined convincing of my aunts/uncles and maybe a dose of the Canadian news on the pandemic convinced them to come back.
the apartment complex sent me the email request for signatures and it's for a completely different unit and different agreed upon amounts for rent, deposit, and fees lmao these fuckin people are disgusting
also they have a late fee clause of 290 dollars if not paid on the 2nd of every month i know late fees are normal but that's so predatory everyone on disability gets paid on the third
a massive security deposit too. i wasted $100 on an application fee and a $100 holding fee for this place and they do this shit bait and switch im so fed up

>>818342 Yeah, the coronavirus doesn't really transmit flu strains. It's more of a cold strain vector. Which is why Covid-19 is more symptom-similar to the cold than a flu. It's also why calling the disease the Coronavirus is dumb since it's just the vector that transmit it. About the same as calling car accidents, Cars.

>>818352 guess bat-flu etc doesn't work since sars, ebola and so on are all bat related diseases also whil needless persecution is what reads on the label, I think it is a big time coming calling out on chinese and their habit of concocting environments where diseases jump from animals to people so easily

i have a spy put wonder if i should sell it right right now

depends. whens the expiration I only did it because I don't feel like today's going to be a big dip day and open is usually an explosion of price shifts. If you can make your sale at the peak of open, it's pretty good.

ah, I would have held that the one I sold expired 3/20

o yea that's crazy soon
hoping for a lil pump action and then i guess i can re buy at 4pm? idk how any of this works i should have just held to be able to see how it performed well i guess i can still watch it he
gotta be careful with buying/selling like that. The past three days were really predictable circuit breaker drop day, recovery day, and then another dip because recovery day looks too green As far as how tomorrow goes, I'm not really sure though so I'm going to be listening in for news
main reasons I like doing things right at the edges is because >immune to changes throughout the day >don't have to stare at it all day for movement >spend 2 hours in morning and 1 hour afternoon making decisions that said, being wrong can hurt because open and close are volatile.

quarantines are going to drive a lot of people crazy even after c19 is under control the psychological effects of our isolation and quarantine to it will have long lasting effects for many this whole situation may be pretty traumatic people live their lives with an illusion of safety, that those bad things they see on TV are so far removed from them when that illusion is broken like by a pandemic which they've believed was absolutely 100% impossible in the modern age to happen, it can lead to lasting traumatic reactions

most people probably will but this is gonna be really interesting it's a prolonged, chronic traumatic stressor so who knows what'll happen it might mirror the effects of wartime on a populace but there's little literature on that that would be applicable to a place like the US and research like this wasn't established in early 1900s during the spanish flu we're in totally unknown territory
im gonna try looking at the literature to see if there are possibly psycho-anthropological works about spanish flu and trauma (although at the time of the spanish flu the illusion of safety was less than it is today)
a study indeed! looking at things like PTSD symptom severity, levels of distress, positive covid test, length of isolation/quarantine, etc and then maybe track these over the course of a year
the hard part is figuring out how to set it up i could aim to get people presently sick and then follow them or presently quarantined and have it follow them or i could aim to start it following recovery of the virus // from the virus and follow that using retroactive reporting for the quarantine data
i'll have to think about it but i think looking at the effects of this would be extremely helpful especially as we enter a world that will be characterized by ecological disaster
well as you can see a car takes the least amount of power to use then hazardous materials then a gun then a bow then an axe. how much energy you have to exert to kill

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3323345/ here's a study i'm lookin at examining trauma in SARS quarantine folks back in 2007 or so in toronto
>The 129 quarantined persons who responded to a Web-based survey exhibited a high prevalence of psychological distress. Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression were observed in 28.9% and 31.2% of respondents, respectively. Longer durations of quarantine were associated with an increased prevalence of PTSD symptoms. Acquaintance with or direct exposure to someone with a diagnosis of SARS was also associated with PTSD and depressive symptoms.

Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they talked about how you need a really fast SSD so they can like upload compressed textures to the GPU and uh they talked about how everyone's ears are slightly different and so to have really nice 3D sound they'll have to like calibrate it and there's raytracing and backwards compat um yeah

the FOMO is distracting time to pack up and head over to west village
don't sink into the FOMO, wait for the last 30 minutes of trading and then plan i'm going to buy some calls later
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it's gotta bounce after all this eh
Koi
yep not by much tbh but say, SPY might rebound like 10$ that's why I wait for the end. because around the end is when people panic and double down into a direction. i usually run against that direction. especially now, because it likes to whip.
i sold most at 50 and then held onto the other third for 70 and it hit 74 looks around 63 last I checked. Might even reach a whole dollar before today is done but I got my money
Koi
ah, no, it's still retreating. Should have bought that call
>>818740 also, I have my eye on the 3/20 calls it really depends on how things close but i'm expecting a bump tomorrow so I might grab a few of those around market close
Anno
I too have my eye on 3/20 but for different reasons
The single is actually quite different, I think I like it more. Iirc it was only released on vinyl Either that or the cd/digital releases of it aren't from the master tape. The b-side is also really good. It introduced me to backwards snare drum samples.
FormerRei@mobile
The typography on the cardboard sleeve is also pprpretty cool.
>>818760 deshou? i have extremely high hopes especially for the new content
Anno
There's at least one distillery here that has shifted production from drinkable alcohol to sanitizer because of everything. I think that's a pretty smart move, even if there's probably going to be quite a bunch of people drinking away the quarantine.
Koi
ahh this market close is rough

can't believe blue is a day trader now
Anno
All it took was a LITTLE bit of money and he completely ran away with the notion
it's not a little bit of money. every time I say "ahh, another small step today." I remind myself that the 'small step' in question is 3-4 paychecks. I have nearly doubled by money since I've started this. and that's with me being hesitant to do things that I'm 95% certain will work. hell if I didn't do that huge 6k gamble last week, I'd be even farther. It scares the hell out of me really.
But I also want to quit my job and that motivates me.
I got a friend that just day trades for a living he's like 60k in debt now not because of risky trading but because of his crippling cocaine addiction and penchant for traveling across europe seven months out of the year
moral of the story is don't be doing cocaine and trading
i don't want any of those things. i want to move out i want to sit at my computer and draw i want to play video games i don't want to wake up at 9pm for 23 years
rook
now hold on, you started typing that before kirara ended with ketamine you might want to reconsider
>>818785 >i don't want to wake up wow fucking same
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>818785 you're gonna turn into a wealthy parasite if you don't work though
>>818790 yeah we're using it a place can't just prescribe it though they have to go directly through the company and adhere to a bunch of restrictions and the ketamine can only be used in facility
FormerRei@mobile
>>818784 I'm considering asking my psych if I can try ketamine. Its being used for depression now.
>>818789 I still want to do productive things. I just don't want to do this anyway, it's 3m to close, it's time to SEAL THE DEAL ... wow, I should have bought earlier oh no
FormerRei@mobile
>>818789 Hrrrrmmm Maybe I'll wait bit then One of my current meds is really expensive and also has diabetes a a potential side effect so I'm nervous about going on a higher dose.

ive met their pharma reps and gotten my brain washed by them already it's good shit
you'll need to have tried and failed at least 3 antidepressants
rook
>>818791 make a manga about cute girls doing risky trades
rook
I can see the MADHOUSE adaptation already
FormerRei@mobile
>>818793 >tried and failed at at least three antidepressants Yeah I've done that Although I prefer to think of it as tem having failed me. *them
we're going to start with the ketamine here but we need a special room for it because a large amount of people who use the nasal spray dissociate a special room where you just sit in a comfy chair and dissociate sounds great tbh
if we get it soon our psychiatrist is gonna let me try the ketamine nasal spray
ehh, this was probably a bad trade. it wasn't that much though so oh well >>818794 [C]2 >>818797 i do want to make something. like a graphic novel or a game i also just dont want to think about money. let me get what i need and I can throw the rest away on cool things
Tomorrow I do battle with the hard part of the market. betting if it goes up rather than down.
Still, I really do wonder what options really are like in terms of how the financial markets move. You don't really hear about them when the news talks about the economy. It's more of a gambling market than anything. Futures, Forex, Stocks, all those are based on something. Value of a company, value of an asset, etc. An option is just "Betcha this stock goes down before Thursday!" and then it does and someone wants to buy it off of you. or it doesn't and you're left with a hot potato that explodes on your lap on Thursday.
Anno
>>818806 Yeah I was gonna say, you were talking about a Madhouse adaptation but this sounds straight up Doga Kobo's alley with cute girls in boring life situations.
hmmm maybe. Things sound pretty fun out there in Dominaria. But since I stopped talking to my neighbor, I havent really had anyone in person to talk MtG with.
>>818812 i don't know exactly how forex works but as far as I know it's really just trading foreign currencies (foreign exchange => forex) but that's whack like i'm being all kinds of heretical right now but i don't wanna be that guy who's like hon hon, ze dolleur, it is down. oui must claim stake in it, no?
i also fully intend on paying my taxes. this money is too easily made for me to be upset about it
Koi
yeah, more I think about it, the less I think this was a good thing to grab. but there's no point thinking about that now. I need sleep. ugh, shit today is school I should have slept earlier.
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
easy money huh
Anno
Easy money is EVIL money!
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
thats right
Anno
I mean all money is evil money so it's a moot point. But still.
The tanuki MC in Trigger's new anime is also a Michiru. I had a pretty good hunch it was a valid feminine name in Japanese but it's good to get affirmation. Also she's totes cute.
>>818832 Dowman has a history of furry preferences. In addition to many other preferences. So it makes sense they'd up the furry levels.
>>818850 Did you not like it because the mc was too alpha? Cause that's why it sold poorly in Japan. The otaku were enraged at how much of a Chad he was. That's why the protag in the author's other harem protag with the maou's daughter is a normal beta harem mc.
Anno
>>818848 When you were complaining about that other shitty anime by the same author with the loli succubus and the imouto I told you all the guy's works are equally trash. Then you went and watched it anyway!
>>818867 hey man just because I train to be stronk and spend a lot of time alone doesn't mean I'm a complete social retard
I'll probably watch it
Anno
It's okay. Pretty dumb but in a popcorn flick kind of way. I don't know why you're insistent on watching these doofy ecchi shows but if you're going to it's watchable at least. Probably.
>>818884 yes sir i would lock myself in this apartment and there's no where i can fling myself off of ... wait a sec... i could open the window remove the screen get in the fire escape and then jump there well it would be Difficult
>>818889 I'd sooner take the packed rush-hour TTC in this pandemic than visit a strip club even in healthier circumstances.
FormerRei@mobile
>>818891 There's a stripclub in vegas that tests their strippers for corona and gives away free hand sanitizer. They're the only one open in vegas right now and they're also the only one in Vegas where they get completely naked. It's really weird that no other strip club in vegas does that.
im wondering if full price stuff ever goes on sale like splatoon for 59.99 is paying full value but i can't get full value out of it since the events are all over it's gotta go on sale sometime right
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
its v rare for ninty 1st party games to go on sale but i suppose it must happen now and then
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
getting a physical used cartridge at gamestop or such might be a better bet
月
oh yeah i forgot i can do that i think i will do that
are you gonna do animal xing
Anno
Motherfuckin' Deviljho Shows up right at the literal last minute to trip my shock trap and ruin a capture for me.
games like oxygen not included are more my style in that genre
Anno
Nintendo never calls for sales on their games but some times retailers will clear stock and put them on sale. I think Amazon will very rarely do that.
I dunno what the used markdown on games at GameStop is like down there but even if it's not really like a sale-y markdown it's probably the more reliable option, yeah.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
oh hey animal crossing is $10 off on amazon right now
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
physical copy only
Anno
Yeah they do that with most major releases I think. Shame that Animal Crossing's one of those games I would much rather have digital than physical. It's such a nice game to be able to pop in to for a short pop between other games. And having to eject cartridges and put AC in and then pop it out and put back the other one just makes things messy. Being able to boot up the digital copy is way nicer.

amazon is shutting down new orders other than essentials
orders placed before yesterday will be sent out but until april 5, no non-essential orders are going through

oh jesus. that is uhhh buy amzn puts

i hope they'll still ship my video games ): i think they will bc i ordered them earlier this month anticipating this
FormerRei@mobile
>>818932 HHow much storage does the switch have? Cause my ps4 has a terabyte of storage and that doesn't even feel like enough.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it's not a lot internally but you can add an SD card also no 4k means games are tiny i'll give you some stats system mem looks like it has like 30 GB?? of which i've used 20 my SD card is uhhhh.... 128 GB? 256? idk
i have Super Smash Bros in physical format but it sitll takes up 2 GB resident for patches it's probably like a 16 GB game
Anno
I got a like 256GB SD card back in Boxing Day sales to prepare for Animal Crossing. And then more because it'll be nice to be able to play some indie download-only games on my Switch at long last.
FormerRei@mobile
Uh SD or microSD? Cause a lot of people say SD when they mean microSD these days.
botw is 13 GB splatoon 2 is 6 GB mario odyssey is 6 GB
yea if you get 128 you can buy a lot of games and if you get 256 or more it's basically unlimited
FormerRei@mobile
>>818944 Yes, because sd cards these days are more niche for things like DSLRs and they're priced differently I was at an electronics store te other day and the sd cards were more expensive because they generally were higher speed models than microsd cards with the same storage capacity.
I can already feel the miserable fury of the Animal Crossing fans that THEIR game didn't get the early release. A bunch of European chains have been selling the game early too so American fans are really getting the short stick hah hah
my mom and sister are really having a breakdown about everything going on it's very stressful
Anno
Yeah, I can imagine. I'm grateful in these moments that my family is very good at not worrying about out-of-our-control stuff like this. Like my mother's even got a bit of a sinus infection and I haven't heard her once say anything like worrying it's Covid-19.
