Just don't put her down if she brings up U2 or something and you'll be good.

Actually great advice.

Don’t put down anyone’s taste in music unless you’re on Music Banter

When you say stuff like that I can really tell you've never experienced an authentic human connection.

They are rare tbh. People good at boring bull**** small talk tend to have more of them probably because they aren't constantly fantasizing about extricating themselves from any given conversation.

This building can stand the most intense earthquakes possible but hit the foundation with a couple of inches of rain and within a few days you'll choke out your first floor tenants with mildew when they're advised to stay at home.

I saw an empty 12 pack of Corona on the side of the road as I made my way in to work this morning. It was a relaxing drive too since there's no school bus's and people being told to self quarantine.

Last night I hit the local grocery store, just to see first hand what the hell was going on. Yup. No canned goods, no TP, and the pizza's were pretty much gone except for a few cheese ones. Lots of perishables though. Even the frozen dinners were still stocked, so I grabbed a few of those and some lunch meat. I went to go get bread and there were only three loaves of wheat bread left. There was one elderly guy standing there looking at the mostly barren shelf too, and we both looked at each other, smiled, and I gestured for him to go ahead not really caring if he grabbed them all or not. He only grabbed one and nodded to me and I did the same.

It looks like I won't be working from home either, since there's only 2 of us in my part of the office. The other dude is a bit elderly, so we're taking precautions and using common sense.

Like, literally. Dude.

I'm thinking this is all Skynet, and it created an algorithm to cut back on the world's resources with the resulting equation of a viral form of Logan's Run.

Seriously though, this is some scary ****. I hope everyone comes through the other side wiser, educated, and healthy.

I stopped by one of my local supermarkets to pick up a few items last Thursday and the shelves were fully stocked, so I was starting to wonder if my neck of the woods might not see the same shortages as other parts of the country.
Then, 3 days later, I decided to do my regular, weekly grocery shopping at 7am on Sunday morning like I usually do and saw pretty much the same thing you describe. Plus, the parking lot was already half full and there were already about 100 other people inside ahead of me. Usually, on a 7am Sunday shopping trip, I'm the only shopper there or I'm 1 of only about 4 or 5 in the store.

Strange times.

I do that too, but it's usually Saturday mornings.

Today someone told me I look like Post Malone. Think I'll kill myself now.
