The ad AI knows what you like Jim - and NineBerry too!JimC wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 9:04 pmI'm finding a lot of the ads very weird - they are still burbling on about tourist destinations or flying or have scenes of crowds - a real disconnect to the present reality. More recent ads are heavily focused on home delivery of food services, either boxes of fresh veg and groceries, or fully cooked meals. It seems Oz values food over sex, at least compared to Germans...![]()

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Yep.
...and haven't they been telling us how obvious it should have been for Trump to pull the trigger on these powers that now leave Canada and others more exposed?
— Maxine WatersTrump, you incompetent idiot! You sent 18 tons of PPE to China early but ignored warnings & called COVID19 concerns a hoax. You've endangered doctors, nurses, aids, orderlies, & janitors – all risking their lives to save ours. Pray 4 forgiveness for the harm that you're causing!

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Well, to be fair, if it was willing to save Canada over the mess of shitheels here, can it be all bad?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Not that there's much to cheer about concerning the loss of life in NY, this is good news. Our own line has been flat now for weeks despite early concerns that it would quickly jump. We've been very good about social distancing though, closing schools and major gatherings weeks ago...let's hope it pays off.The fatalities in New York state held steady on Monday for the second consecutive day
