When we have a snow storm in the US, and we might be snowed in for a few days, grocery stores struggle to keep up with the rush of people buying things to get them through those few days. The virus outbreak and self quarantine will last weeks or months, and grocery store supply systems can't keep up with that demand.
That, and there are always LOTS of people who act very selfishly.
Well, the governor has spoken. There's now a state wide stay-at-home order that officially goes into effect at 5 PM tomorrow. All non-essential businesses will be closed and gatherings of more than ten people will be denied. There will be way more daycare limits. It won't affect my slightly altered reality much more, but I'm sure this is a blow to many. I'm sure more people will panic and raid the stores here again, even though they're considered essential. I spoke with my mom earlier since I know she did some shopping for both my immediate family and my shut-in grandmother, and she confirmed that everywhere is nuts.

@ThanosReXXX Nah, you're fine. With the newest order from El Governor in my state, I kinda doubt there will be any services anyway. We'll see!
I wish you luck on your next TP run. I was already decently stocked before this mess and should still have enough for about a month yet. Then I'll need to rig up my cart, jousting umbrella, and trashcan shield on my next Walmart trip.
@bimmy-lee Zoom has been a more optimal way for us to meet with, though a couple of people have still just been calling in. It's kind of neat seeing almost everyone else in very casual wear. Our company's dress code is pretty casual as they allow jeans, but they encourage anything a step above t-shirts. Sometimes more than that for the people who aren't holed up like us and visit with customers and execs.
Thanks! I do like my new chair; it's definitely more bearable to use in the long term. The gaming keyboard and extra monitor saved me from having to haul home their counterparts from my desk at work. XD No issues with any of them so far.
Have a great day today. May I ask... are there some people who believe in God here? Would love to know to see some fellow believers

I'm not really a religious people despite i got Christian education for 12 years since grade 1 until grade 12. But i paid visit to nearest Chinese temple to pray as my family tradition.
As i grow up, I was thinking Eden from Bible was an incognito of High Tech Laboratory and Earth was a prison of us due to some conspiracy or something that founded on SciFi movies.
@Zuljaras Nintendo news is at an all time drought nowadays and it's all Nintendo's fault for not having a Direct before Animal Crossing. We had more news coming out of those NX rumours in summer 2016 than we have nowadays.
@Grumblevolcano This is true, but still no one is 100% obliged to give information just for 3rd parties to have content right?
As if everyone is forced to give journalists info so they could keep their jobs. That is why journalism nowadays are paparazzi with very questionable morale that prefer to post lies or poostorms to boost their ratings.
Has anyone else been having an issue with YouTube lately? Almost every time I click on a video, I get an error - one that always goes away after a single refresh. It's really weird.

@NintendoByNature You've NEVER played an Animal Crossing game? REALLY? And you call yourself "NintendoByNature".... tsss....
@Tyranexx Jousting umbrella. Now that's something I'd like to see happening in real life. I can already imagine how that might go down...
Do you also use that on Black Friday? Probably not, because it'll likely get crushed in the crowd of idiots...
@reporterdave Although we in the Chit-Chat thread are social and open-minded in general, there are still the site rules to take into account, and discussions about politics and religion, to name but a few, are not allowed on here. I would kindly advise you to heed those rules in order to prevent yourself from doing something that might result in you getting a warning or a ban.
But other than that, feel welcome and feel free to talk about whatever else bothers or pleases you.
@Heavyarms55 Yeah, the "I hate Brie" idiots are at it again. They're so strung up and vindictive, that they'll still be rehashing their tired opinions on her in about 10 to 15 years from now, because, you know, it's cool to hate and never forgive or forget. It's pathetic, really.
