I have to admit, the situation has created a strange world. I mean, I'm glad for the garbage man or woman, who still has a job, but it's a little strange who gets cut and who doesn't.

Not really, trash needs to be collected no matter what....

In my City due to social distancing, trucks have been downgraded to two workers per truck (so there is space between the workers on the seat), this changes service, no yard waste and no recycling currently, it has been strictly garbage collection (they will empty your recycling can into the regular truck if you put it out).

I honestly don't seem that surprised with how it played out. If a job can be done at home it is now done at home. Jobs that are essential are pretty much what everyone thought (maybe some exception here and there).... I am a little shocked liquor stores and delivery are essential in every state, but that's America I guess...

If you business stayed open you probably have a job (even if at home) , if your business was forced to close you probably don't have a job.

Some hiring such as supermarkets and Amazon are going way up due to increased demand, also offering higher pay and incentives in many cases (if those positions remain after everything returns to normal remains to be seen). There are many options for unemployed people with entry level skills right now (cities are desperate for sanitation workers, utility workers, retail stores are desperate for workers, pretty much every delivery place is desperate for drivers and workers), now if somebody is or is not willing to take such jobs is another matter......

No I mean strata, or class as it cuts across all the spectrums in a jagged diagonal. Although the garbage person has a job, the dishwasher is likely out of a job. Someone's 200k job may now be paying nothing although His neighbor may still be nearly unaffected in the next house over.

Adele has lost a lot of weight
and the women fatties are
outraged at her. She was the
idol of the plus-size crowd
and now they hate her guts
for betraying them. Women..

I read about that. We live in a world that tells you it is not healthy to be fat but is full of idiots who skinny shame someone who was large and gets smaller.

Weird stuff. Why not just be happy for her?

Which is easier, doing the hard work
and losing the weight, or grouping
together with your fellow porkers
and pretending being a big fat pig
is sexy. Adele knew what the
verdict against her would be, that's
why she was totally silent the whole
time. She's a smart cookie.

"Sometimes stand-offs involve chest-bumping, pushing and shoving, and throwing stones at each other, BBC South Asia Editor Anbarasan Ethirajan reports.

The latest tense face-off took place near the Naku La sector in Sikkim, more than 5,000 meters (16,400ft) above sea level in the Himalayas."

Can you imagine? Maybe we could send Wizard to intermediate?

creepy... OBVIOUSLY! But how to make it illegal? Is it creepy if a gay man just filmed guys eyebrows because it aroused him? A straight guy filmed girls lips? Both are creepy. I'm not sure how to make the leap to illegal?

Do you have an inherent right while in public not to be filmed? I don't think so. This isn't a hidden camera in a supposedly private area like a bathroom.
