Been through worse

@Shylover  
Half the nation believes it was rigged. If anything, we’re more divided now than ever before.

@Shylover  
I couldn’t possibly imagine what you’re thinking about

@MagpulPony
 
I wouldn’t say half.
 
A percentage of half; an as of yet unknown percentage of said half to be sure.
 
And that percentage are idiots.

I’ve never made this publicly known, but one of my main goals as a writer is to make the world a better place for people who struggle with depression, have attempted suicide, or are trans. I want to show them that they are loved in this world and are deserving of love and companionship. Don’t let anybody tell you are undeserving of happiness and don’t let yourself tell you that. You deserve to be loved just like everybody else.

@Zincy  
20% would be an accurate number.

Sure… absolutely nothing was rigged… if you say so.

Getting too political again.

Guess it’s another sleepless night of aimlessly browsing the internet.

Michigan has just been ordered shutdown for three weeks. And just when things were starting to get back to normal. Goodbye Thanksgiving, good bye Black Friday, which is going to kill our economy, and I can just about guarantee this order will be extended through Christmas and even New Years.
 
The hoidlay season in this state will be spent in quarantine. No Christmas parties, no New Years parties, just social isolation.

Yet again…
 

Be calm, humanity has taken a hella lot more pain than this weak sickness.

@GothArts  
We know that, but certain people would rather take advantage of the panic.

@someguy111  
Oh no one fucking year where people can’t gather in groups of 500. Life is surely over.
 
I never went out anyway, I’m not bothered by any of this, I will never understand people freaking out over being locked down. We have modern technology, you can call and text and video chat with anyone you know at any time. I fail to see an issue here.

@someguy111
 
“good bye Black Friday”
 
Black Friday deserves to die a swift death anyway. It is not the economic boon people think it is, and rarely is it actually advantageous for the consumer.
 
It is a time of artificial scarcity, fake “sales” (companies will often raise their prices slowly in the two months before BF, then lower them to a ‘sale’ come the day), and the absolutely disgusting display of rampant consumerism that makes us look like an international laughing stock.
 
Let it be gone, and gone for good.

@DarkObsidian  
Of course.

Double Power Loss in the afternoon.
 
Power went out after 5 and was restored at around 7.. for all of 5 minutes then the Downpour that hit flooded it out.
 
hour and a half later and we have power again.. but im leaving the candles lit.
 
on the plus side the estimate on when they said it was to be fixed was 11pm.. and then 2AM.
 
so.. huzzah?

Gotta respect those who go to fix our power and and water.

@LightningBolt  
Did you ever think that some people really look forward to getting together with friends and family over the holidays?

@Zincy  
But then where will we get those videos of people stampeding and punching each other at a Walmart?

I do, but a household is still a family. My folks are gonna have pizza rolls for Thanksgiving and Bob Evans.

@someguy111  
And I used to look forward to hanging out with my family too but half of them are dead (not from this virus) and I could go one goddamn year without it if it meant less people fucking dying.
 
You have modern technology, fucking call them.
 
I look forward to this all being over so the whiny entitled selfish pricks* can get back to doing whatever and not being a blight to everyone else.  
*I am not calling anyone here any of those things.

@LightningBolt  
You have to understand I see my cousin once a year during the holidays. Talking to him over Skype just won’t be the same.

I was a part of a Black Friday stampede once, its like a violent scavenger hunt.

@someguy111  
But you can still talk to him.
