Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

Cold comfort, but the people contending that covid is a scam are the same demographic as the people most likely to die from covid - and therefore be unable to say as much ever again.

That's about half my family that is going that route, which means that while they refuse to follow guidelines like masks and social distancing they are contributing to the spread of the virus and raising the risk of the other half of my family who are taking this seriously with getting sick.

Which btw absolutely infuriates and enrages me. I need to protect those that I love and half of them are being F***ing stupid and endangering the rest of my family and there is nothing I can do to make them see reason!

Speaking of stupid, I have an argument with a Facebook friend of mine a few days ago. He thinks that the pandemic is a scam and refused to wear a mask because the mask doesn't work which is complete bullcrap and I tried to convince him otherwise and he doesn't care at all. So I block him for his idiocy permanently because I don't to associate a person who's brainless and doesn't take the pandemic seriously.

Someone about 20 minutes from me is advertising a "Confederate Yard Sale" - Flags, hats, shirts, you name it. The nonsense that goes on around here is astounding.

I had a co-worker suggest the other day that there was a difference of opinion over mask wearing, and that you could “keep reinfecting yourself” if you wear a mask.

We live in a really bizarre era, where memory of what created societal progress is rapidly fading. Nobody seems to know anything beyond the specialized bubbles of their neighborhood and their workplace. It’s like living in a gilded palace, but nobody remembers who built it or what it’s purpose was. And ~50% of the population is deranged mutants. Maybe I should write a story...

That's ridiculous. Where did your co-worker get an idea like that?

Keep reinfecting how? Masks that aren't disposable need to be washed regularly.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

I keep telling locals that masks protect others and if someone could invent a reasonably priced one that protected the wearer, they'd make a fortune and people would be more likely to comply. They're all like "Muh Freedumb is more important."

I saw a story posted about a girl who apparently got some sort of bronchial infection and her family said it was from rebreathing what she was breathing into the mask, like she wasn't expelling the bacteria so it became more concentrated or something. It sounded super sketchy to me, but that's the sort of thing circling FB that's making people believe this stupid stuff.

Nikocado Avocado is so disgusting. He poops himself the second time on Youtube. In case if you don't know who Nikocado Avocado is well he's a Youtuber who eat junk food for his video content. The guy act like a newborn baby. I really can't stand him and his relationship with his husband is horrible and fake as well.

When people are scared, unable to control things, and take information from unreliable sources, they resort to magic and superstition.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

This is a rant but it's not about humanity (for once!) My new cordless cellular blackout shades have been up for a week, and this morning one broke. SO off we go with reorder/refund/etc. They just don't make stuff like they used to.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

Why can some people learn to accept my reading about Jungkook's future spouse on Youtube? This idiot who happens to be female said that I'm lying about BTS member Jungkook's future spouse being black. I explain to her that my reading is never one and she still called me a liar. I've been reading tarot for 12 years and I'm very accurate with my reading about by 99% of the time. It very clear that she's racist and I can spot it a mile away.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

Just how stupid people are they anyway? There was a comment on one of my YouTube videos saying that I talk like a woman and claiming that I am a woman. First off I was born a man and that how I normally talk. I do stuttered in my videos. Just because you think that I sound feminine in my videos doesn't mean that I am one. Like seriously people really need to get their facts straight.

Re: The Rant Thread (v1.3)

my school is driving me absolutely crazy, as usual. I missed a deadline for paperwork after trying to make an appointment for like three months. The person was on maternity leave, but had no replacement, and their secretary never responded to my emails. Now that I've emailed the general undergrad department I finally get a response, which is to be told I should make an electronic appointment as per the welcome email- which I'd been trying to do before the welcome email even came out. I didnt use the appointment maker because the appointment app didnt seem to have the specific thing I needed in it's super specific drop down, so I emailed the department asking where I should make an appointment. This is such a waste of time, especially since the appointment I've now made is a week away. It's so frustrating. I'm not even really sure what the consequences for missing the deadline are and the deadline is rather arbitrary anyway since it isn't an administrative time limit and it's due during a time when all the secretaries are busy.
