I'm sure you will change a lot of hearts and minds. No one wants you losing respect for them.

No marriage can be successful without observing this rule.
I tried, but can'y break through. I've made it 7-10 days without shaving and it drives me nuts. I would like to try a beard someday, but I just think it's not in the cards for me. I love the feeling of a fresh shave too much.

No he won't. He just said today that COVID has killed 120 million Americans. At this rate, we'll all be dead by October 1. So no investigation needed.

How much does it cost? I'm a regular user, so I'll kick in something. I'm sure others will too.
posted by SportsAndLadyI have been posting on this site since the beginning (besides my hiatus, which I’m realizing now why I did it). I have been very vocal about where I went to college, living in NJ, and now Chicago.
And congrats on your opinion, but I think that Alabama is a shit hole state.
That's fine; it's very interesting what your thoughts on Alabama are. Does your posting on this site "since the beginning" give you greater insight into other parts of the country / world than someone who only started posting a year ago?

Don't worry, I don't want your address. I'm married.
posted by SportsAndLadylol Jesus, you guys seriously couldn’t tell I wasn’t being serious? So sensitive around here these days. For as much as you guys call out progressives for being sensitive snowflakes, you sure seem like you’re just as bad!
I live in chi town.
I think you were being serious. I live in Alabama, or hilljack country as you'd call it. But I'm from Ohio. My sister lives in Chicago and has so for almost 30 years. In my experience, the people in any region that look down on other regions are usually the worst that region has to offer.
posted by SportsAndLadyI have gone my entire life thinking there is absolutely nothing worse than a far left progressive libtard. But lately the far right MUH FREEEEEDOMS!!! crowd are giving them a run for their money.
Third worst are the people who are pretty close to the two above mentioned groups who complain all day everyday about the opposite group, not realizing they’re just as bad (ICL).
So where do you live?

In politics, five months is a long time. I put little weight into the current poll numbers. Of course Trump's campaign can't afford too many debacles like this Tulsa rally. Outside of his base, most people probably don't care about his rallies one way or another. Yet his people have hyped this thing for weeks. Then they said a million people were inquiring about getting a ticket. So the whole thing looked pathetic when no one showed up. And just because of the noise his campaign made about it, it got attention from the majority of people who normally could not care less. It was a total disaster - as Trump would say.

posted by justincredibleDid you know that if you're in the hospital for something else, get a covid test and test positive, you're now counted in covid hospitalizations? If you test positive for antibodies, you're counted in positive cases. Also, when DeWine gives the "reported deaths" number each day, those deaths could have happened back in March and were just now reported? That number doesn't mean there have been that many deaths in the last 24 hours.
Just something to keep in mind as numbers are reported.
There's a lot of this out there which muddies up the waters. To me, it's the nature of the lack of understanding of COVID when compared to viruses or conditions that have been around for much longer, and about which much more is known for certain. I guess it's in our nature to want to bring measurements to something this uncertain and "the numbers" are how we do it. In Alabama, we're hearing a lot about the "spike" in positive cases. But that only stands to reason based on more testing and the fact that people aren't sequestered any longer. There is an "uptick" in hospitalizations. But then we learn that some of these are older cases reclassified and others are people who were initially admitted into the hospital for other reasons than COVID. I don't think it's nefarious. I just think it shows how we still lack a lot of collective knowledge of this particular virus. In my opinion, the only route forward is to take precautions on an individual basis and wait for it to work itself through the population. That was going to happen regardless of staying inside or not.

you can’t fix stupid.
It is humorous how all of these entities that are making these superficial changes are deciding that these names, logos, titles, gameday cheers are all of a sudden completely unacceptable. Yet they were apparently just fine right up until recent days. For example, the University of Florida's "gator bait" cheer has been cancelled because it has "horribly racist and offensive roots". Yet for the last 25 years (the time it's been around), it was perfectly acceptable. I call this the "good whites" virtue signaling. In other words: "There are good whites and bad whites. The bad whites are the racists and oppressors that have done horrible things. We, by virtue of cancelling the 'gator bait' cheer want to make it clear that we are part of the 'good whites'. We're enlightened are and on your side. Mind you, you won't hear from us again until the next round of civil unrest. And we'll be sure to go home tonight to our 98% white neighborhood. But just know that in cancelling this horrific cheer, we are above reproach."
