How the piss did you survive with a level 2 character through Taris?

Did you beat Bendak?

Yeah, he’s selling patriotism and market worship in return for lives. He seems to think it’s only the elderly at risk, too, which shows how completely out of touch he is.

We don’t know if covid-19 is something you get complete immunity to after you get it, or whether it’s going to be a seasonal or even more frequent occurrence. The latter would be devastating if we let up restrictions too soon.

The economy’s fucked either way. Multitudes getting sick and having to be hospitalized (or die!) in order to entitle the lucky people who only get mild symptoms to continue maintaining their living standards is kind of disgusting.

aaaaay

2 months in and my employer has said all the employees need PPE (provided by them) to work.

aaaaay
You might want to check if this is legal in your local state/country.

For example, in Australia, if an employer requires an employee to wear PPE during their duties, they're obligated to provide the PPE or pay the cost of it.

I'd suggest a written request along the lines of "Dear management, due to shortages of PPE caused by coronavirus, my local supplier has advised they have no stock of these products available. In order to comply with your new employment requirements, please advise on your preferred location to source reliable supply of PPE. Alternatively, please supply these products directly to our location for staff use in order to meet these requirements."

Under our local laws, this would be enough to launch an unfair dismissal claim against an employer should they create a condition of employment but fail to adequately provide the means to meet that condition.

But again, this is relevant only to my local situation, so it's best you investigate your employee rights where you work.

I live in Wisconsin, which had a Republican governor until 2018 (who was so proud of his union busting he bragged about it when he ran for president), and has a Republican controlled legislature though I’m not sure for how long that’s been there, as well as a conservative majority (recently reduced) on its highest court.

I don’t think the phrase “employment rights” enters a sentence unless the phrase “too socialist” or some such is also present.

Doctor Doak will continue practicing entangle roots on he rock to hopefully get better stronger roots.

You made a funny. Very good.

How long have you been waiting to roll that one out/how many times have you said it?

Something occurred to me. If Trump tweets LIBERATE and idiots with weapons decide to act on that, isn't Trump forced to deploy Federal military forces to respond? Doesn't that hand the idiots the exact thing they're always paranoid about, "the guberment is gonna come and take our guns"?

Does that matter? In the heads of people crazy enough to do that, Trump and the government aren't one entity. Trump is fighting the "Deep State". Trump is protecting them from the government.

Even though he is the head of government?

Doctor Doak goes out into the forest and practices using nature magic to have plants aid him in combat situations; entangling things with roots, using flora to create cover, that kinda nonsense.

CK is darker relative to what? Like, I’ve put over a thousand hours into it, and you can murder children (and also be murdered by children!) but the sex side of it is quite heavily glossed over, regardless of your ability to seduce your family.

There are certain things game devs can do, reasonably, but I don’t think paedophila falls into that categorely.

I don’t think Carson is elected? I thought he was just the... housing dude.

*quick google*

Housing and Urban Development dude.

I always thought he came across as a bit dim. Was very surprised to learn he was a leading neurosurgeon in his time.

I got to the last planet in KOTOR, and am max level. I just need to walk through the rest until the boss area. Being max level already and having no better gear to gain on this planet means I don't really have anything driving me on, except to be done with the game., which is a bad goal for a game. It's been a few days now, and it's tough to regain interest.

Are you playing as Sith or Jedi?

Or really do you just have high enough persuasion to do a frankly horrible thing when you get to the final dungeon? ‘cause it’s funny. Just fucking horrible.

15% of their budget.

He’s trying to distract from his whole “I AM THE LAW” and general criticism of his incompetence.

In more local news, the Republicans insisted on holding the elections last week in Wisconsin, including the state Supreme Court, in which the conservative candidate - appointed by Republican former governor/presidential candidate Scott Walker and endorsed by Donald Trump - lost.

Still a conservative majority on the court, but now it’s only 4-3.

Wisconsin being a swing state that voted for Donald Trump in 2016, I have hope for the future that shit doesn’t happen again.
