My new financial strategy of “buying stocks just after Trump has a press conference, then selling just before he has his next on” is paying off so far

@thismightbeauser Especially since short term capital gains are taxed higher.
-
@thismightbeauser But I guess if you're concerned about that then you'd want to wait a year, idk
-
@thismightbeauser i don't pay taxes, is what the court summons i can now legally ignore because of coronavirus says

I’m beginning to consider the idea that maybe I have coronavirus but all it’s doing to me is giving me a cold. It’s been around 6-10 days since I was possibly exposed to it by an elderly customer who maybe got it in Arlington (never did figure out who it was and if they were even in the store), and I’ve been dealing with cold symptoms for a few days now. No fever yet, though, and my cough was exceptionally minor and is gone today. Hopefully if that’s the case I didn’t get anyone sick, I was careful to make sure I was sanitizing everything in my cough radius just in case.

@mrmattimation I thought the same until I had a fevre this morning. So now I’m self-quarantining.
-
@awl I’m ready to do the same if I have to.

IMO, the whole thing is a PR disaster waiting to happen, but that’s fine, I guess. The guy was put there to be the fall-guy when union negotiations broke down... then this happened.

@mrmattimation Jump on TOR and anonymously drop the scoop to either an intrepid young journalism major or a washed-out alcoholic local reporter and watch the lid kinda simmer and flop and ultimately probably the heat'll get turned down and nothing'll blow after all!!

My dad got carded at the grocery store on the way home from a night shift. He was too young to get in so early.

@scribus We’re just kind of telling people we’re gonna card them but our interim President was really mad about having to change anything about the way we operate so we were explicitly told during a very angry conference call that it’s all just for show and we’re not supposed to actually turn anyone away.

Which is especially infuriating because I'd been planning a move to Colorado for like, two years, but other stuff has set THAT back too.

All of my cartoons just start with jokes now. By which I mean they start with a joke on a page, and then I try to figure out how I can get TO that joke, narratively.

@scribus Very boned. I’m not going to LA anymore. :/
-
@mrmattimation Downer. I have a Seattle trip for Sage and Savant cancelled, too. :(
-
@scribus The biggest bummer is that I was planning to meet someone out there who I've known for like three years but have never met in person, she's in Colorado and I'm in Virginia and we both thought we were gonna get to finally meet each other at VidCon. Now we're both stuck where we are for the foreseeable future.

My grocery store is officially empty. We officially have nothing of value left to offer people. And yet, it’s still packed.

@mrmattimation Ah. That explains a lot. Didn't know that.

@mrmattimation I believe those were both tax rebates at heart, though. This would be a step further.

@mrmattimation And that is super one of my favorites, I aspire to such heights of !caffeine consumption. Actually, I may have committed a couple such moments as a bus driver....

@scribus my favorite part of that press conference was that Fox News had a real-time DOW counter in the corner, so every time he said something dumb, you could watch the recession get worse in real time.
-
@mrmattimation Hey you're right, CBS had a ticker showing the measly growth of the day slow down every time I roll my eyes!

Social distancing is what you do when the weird kid starts drawing in his notebook in seventh grade math and the teacher’s yelling at him about it

Hey sorry Matt, I can’t go to the prom with you, there’s a coronavirus going around and I’m practicing social distancing.

Oh, you’re lonely because of the coronavirus? Suck it up.

“Social distancing” makes it sound like you’re being bullied and it’s your fault. It sounds like a nice way of referring to what women did to me in high school

@adiwan Protect? I wonder how many Murikkkans are planning to be the raiders!

@scribus I also considered buying a gun to protect myself from suburban whites

@mrmattimation A legitimate concern, indeed. Much more dangerous than America switching to bidets!

Clarification for my previous point: The show starts out as a pretty clear allegory for racism, but as you get further into the show it becomes pretty clear that actually, it isn’t, and that’s just how you chose to interpret it, so making real life connections with real life issues become crazy uncomfortable because, yes, carnivores are inherently more violent than herbivores, and yes, rabbits papaya like rabbits, and no, none of that is true in real life.

here’s a fun game, when you watch Beastars replace every use of the word “carnivores” with “black people”, then slowly become uncomfortable with the fact that you’ve chosen to do this because doing so neatly fits the show’s narrative into a white supremacist rhetoric

Beastars sure is silly
