Oh hey, at least two confirmed cases for AIPAC attendees. Other notables to that event includes like 2/3rds of the U.S. Congress :V

On the whole our national response has been fucking stupid to the point it's also kneecapped any local attempts to be less stupid, yes, on top of some local stuff also being pretty stupid.

Like, I think I remember some TV talking head say they expect at least 40% of the country to get infected before this is relatively over, and at this point I can believe it :-\

Yeah, pretty much. You were marginally more likely to get one-shot on normal a patch or three or whatever ago, but so far as I'm aware that's been more or less reigned in. If you're in it for normal difficulty romps you're probably just fine.

I mean, you can basically assume the U.S. either is or will be largely infected at this point. Shit's loose all over the country and we've basically done fuck all about even confirming it, nevermind anything else. Every day or two we find out about cases in yet another state. There's zero indication that trend is going to change.

While I live in an area where nobody is concerned about the corona virus, I did go out to buy some of that canned food. First time I've ever bought canned soup, doesn't look that good, but also a lot of canned fruit, which I'm more confident I'd stomach happily; I otherwise have always hated canned food, but I guess this isn't the time to complain.
For what it's worth, canned soup is usually pretty okay. Not super great and usually pretty damn salty, but not terrible or anything. I eat cream of chicken fairly often, ferex, and it's usable and pretty tasty once you do stuff to it.

If you're worried, just... have a can before it's necessary or somethin', maybe have a few and fiddle with adding stuff to them to see if you can get something you like out of it.

I mean, fortunately we don't have any actual socialists running, much less one that said Cuba was alright. So no problem!

No, no, c'mon, let's gattai this shit entirely. Bernie drops out to pick up the VP slot, warren gets treasure secretary, and... man, I don't know, someone turns gabbard into a pair of shoes. Then biden sundowns completely after inauguration and everything falls into place :V

*shrugs* He's apparently started rolling out the attack ads, for what it's worth.

Campaign's also being reported as saying it intends to starting courting older voters and focus on coalition building, though, so uh. Guess we'll see how that plays out.

AI's smarter/meaner, apparently, and there was some damage spike issues that have been getting ironed out is most of it, near as I can tell. Some of the older guide writers apparently threw their hands in the air and walked off when the stronger strategies changed in effectiveness, but folks seem to be adjusting, too, and balance changes are coming along.

Personally, the few runs I've done since have been... fine, at least once the run-away-run-away behavior was fixed. Most of the stuff folks were flipping out over seemed only super noticeable if you were playing on like insane or somethin', which has always been masochistic one-shot horseshit land to me anyway. Normal or nightmare's mostly been about the same or better, least as far as I've been able to notice from playing a bit.

I guess if there's one good sign, it's that turnout yesterday was apparently pretty impressive? Like, 2008 levels in places, for all it's fukkin' wild it seems like biden was a major driver of it. If that can sustain it's a pretty good indicator for the general.

*shrugs* Shonen is about as much of a genre as, say, YA/Young Adult is. Which is to say it's regularly called one but probably inaccurately :P

Though I'd probably say there actually is commonalities between dragon ball and death note, you'd just have to take some steps back to draw them.

I was just wondering whether Sanders can catch up or if Biden is definitely the nominee.
Well, we have more solid results now and the answer seems to be the first is still possible -- a 70 delegate trail or whatever it ends up being in that general region -- isn't entirely insurmountable... but it's probably pretty unlikely at this point.

Biden overperformed pretty heavily, sometimes in states he didn't even have a ground game in, whereas sanders still seems largely incapable of pulling the turnout boost he's been promising and needing out of the proverbial hat. For all a lot of people are enthusiastic about bernie it's looking increasingly like he's just... not what the democrat voters want. Maybe that changes -- I'm still not sure if I swallow my dislike of old people in power and vote sanders or just write in 'not these geriatric shits' come our early voting next week, ferex -- but things just got a lot harder for the sanders campaign. They needed a stronger showing than anyone else on super tuesday pretty damn bad, and it didn't happen. They still had a strong one, but second place to Biden is just not a happy place to be :-\

I mean, it literally depends on how things actually fall out from the delegate results. Things are fairly up in the air as far as I'm currently aware, though.

E: though if biden's decisively won texas or somethin' sanders is probably pretty done, yeah. Ask again once the official delegate count shows up.

E2: Will say though, if there's any good news it's that it's looking like bloomshit's just getting kinda' crushed. Warms the cockles of the heart of the second stomach I have for wanting to eat the rich, it does.

Ask in a day or two when we actually have counts instead of assumptions? Might help, I'unno.
