My wife was just doing this with a friend in st Louis over text.

There are plenty of Hitler jokes out there, and a ton of hurricane jokes for every hurricane that blows through the US. Cancer patients are sometimes sardonic about their condition. I really don't think a death toll of 100,000 is enough to stop people from using gallows humor to cope. In fact, the higher the death toll, the more gallows humor you are likely to see.

Who watches a movie sitting at their computer?
My friends and I do this through Discord. One person shares their screen playing netflix/disney/whatever and then everyone just hangs out in voice and watches together.

Anyone remember turntable.fm? I know a bunch of replacements popped up, but nothing seemed to capture the same kind of magic...
- it also supports prime/youtube/vimeo
- it has an audio/video chat instead of a simple text chat
- it doesn't require a chrome extension
- it doesn't actually sync across the viewers? (start time, play/pause)
does it mean you can literally support other platforms without any integration?
