that's... kinda expensive though, I don't think RMN has the resources for that :(

the auto-thumbnailer even might be expensive... i guess a warning like HEY!!!
DON'T BE A DUMMY!!!
PLEASE!!!
DON'T UPLOAD SCREENSHOTS BIGGER THAN 800X600 UNLESS YOU *REALLY* HAVE A REASON TO!!!in the screenshot submission page could work

From what I saw being reported on twitter today, apparently lots of hospitals are lying about Coronavirus deaths and are instead reporting them as H1N1?
Quite worrisome. I really don't think we're quite ready to take the blow.
That being said I've decided to use this time in quarantine to teach art one on one. Hopefully that can be of use. (btw if anyone's interested on 1 on 1 classes, art counseling etc. just hmu inbox or on twitter :) )

need to facetime grandma tomorrow, check up on her. y'all should remember to take good care of your elderly, too. this situation is a mess.

The fact they're talking 12-18 MONTHS of quarantine makes me think this is going to be some of the densest months in human history since, I don't know, the world wars? the industrial revolution?

Rep. Joe Kennedy said at a news conference that the government should give $4,000 immediately to adults who make under $100,000 a year.

Wow. Meanwhile nobody at home is able to work (other than me), electricity is due and I haven't read anywhere that they're even staving off cutting electricity services in here :( (well, they're considering freezing that in two states only, and one of them is really just about the water bill)

well, what we can do, it's not like our personal family life hasn't been a combo of bad shit since early 2019, we can get through this... but it certainly would be a blessing if the government would take some measures to make sure its population can remain functional. Like freezing my debt that goes at 14% per month so I can delay payment for one month and just buy more food and essentials for my family @_@

can you count on it though? SO MANY families depend on that income and constantly live on edge. On my family, we're ALWAYS one month behind with the electricity bill. As in, we pay it "every" month (sometimes we skip, they cut it, and we pay everything at once with a loan or something) , but it's the previous one that we pay. I know SO many families like that. It's terrible, it's bad education and bad planning, but we -- and so many others -- are stuck deep within this cycle and while it certainly kind of works, come the first shit like this and of course it falls apart, especially in a country with as big of an informal workforce as in Brazil.

Also, my mother is a tattoo artist. Not hard to figure she's got absolutely no clients whatsoever (but still has to pay rent for her tattoo shop...)

Oop! Mexico sounds just like Brazil! 'xcept people ARE stockpiling toilet paper for ???whatever??? reason (read: they read people are doing it so they feel like they should do it too)

I haven't seen any special government measure yet other than ordering things to close down and etc. No relief funds, no assurance of salary, etc, here in my state of São Paulo is where the contagion is at its worst ("just" 300 people, though), yet families have read the days off of school as an opportunity to storm my city of Santos* and suntan. So, yay, my town is suddenly an out-of-season tourist hotspot in the middle of a pandemic! With the added bonus of pro-bolsonaro supporters (including a lot of elderly people, as well as children of supporters) organizing rallies for WHATEVER reason like in the picture I've sent previously. It's pretty absurdist. For me, nothing's changed much. The BRL as a currency has somehow plummeted and it was the worst hit currency in the pandemic.

Also mom has no clients anymore, of course, so I"m trying to feed everyone at home and keep us afloat but i'm shit at that. At least the dollar is worth 20% (TWENTY PERCENT) more BRL than it was a few months ago.


*fun fact: Santos is the southern hemisphere's biggest port.

At first I thought this was an Utada Hikaru fangame

Anyway Code Lyoko was dope! Glad to see it being remembered. I have to be honest, I remember NOTHING about the story, but that should be a fun read -- or a rewatch even -- before I give this a shot :)
