Over my time spent here I gather that you're this place's local druggie, so I'm half tempted not to take anything seriously coming outta you. But the commentary on alcohol was at least interesting, since I actually know very little about alcohol even though I waste my life working at a sobeys liquor store. My day was shit. I worked my two jobs and came home and went to sleep.

Long time ago I heard one of the devs always envisioned Chief like clint eastwood. Does that last one strike you as clint eastwood? Be pretty cool.

Haven't actually played it unfortunately, but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about it. Based off what I've seen, it's a cool attempt at an artistic endeavor for a video game but it's also bogged down a bit by its more sluggish and unrefined elements.

Assuming that I can continue to work myself to death seven days a week on two jobs, I make 33k a year.

GA Gov Kemp is opening bowling alleys, nail salons, massage therapists, and gyms Friday. This is six days before the shelter-in-place order ends, and also while not even getting close to the WH guidelines and infection rates are still up. This idiot bootlicker is going to kill us all.
Maybe you could make a documentary about it. Call it "Bowling for Corona"

Can't quarantine with family if you live in a truck camper mate. It also helps not to have a family either.

Ben Shapiro said there is close to 0% chance of you dying from corona if you are young and healthy. It also hasn't affected Sweden much more than others despite keeping things open.
Pneumonia doesn't really care how old you are. And I think there's something critical that everybody is overlooking due to their insistence on "fixing" the economy back up to speed. All viruses mutate. Corona's death rate may not be staggering compared to other pandemics of the past, but right now what we're looking at is a lucky blow. What if it develops more lethal parameters? With a virus, these scenarios are all based on time. It's not a question of if, if it's a question of when. The more people that catch and spread it, the better chances it has to develop more virulent strains or make cross species jumps like the one that killed that tiger in the new york zoo.
We don't take this person seriously here.
I don't take anybody seriously.

To be totally fair, there's probably a lot of childhood stuff out there better left forgotten. And then there's shows like totally spies and total drama island which live on immortally via wankfest in young adults still tapping into the golden teenage nostalgia of years long past.

Can confirm
http://sep7agon.net/the-flood/sandtrap-70947/30/
"Yep, don't have kids"
I don't think he even read the fucking OP.
normally i'd be the last person to defend secondclass, but given how much i can relate to tactlessly injecting my personal beliefs where they don't necessarily belong, something compelled me to clear this up
all she's really trying to say here is "the fact that cancer can kill such good people is so cruel and so terrible that it's a wonder why we continue to bring more children into this world when they're all so very likely to have a similar fate"
she wasn't necessarily trying to be disrespectful; it was just a combination of very poor timing and very poor phrasing
so yeah secondclass is garbage and that post was bad, but not for the reasons you think
It's honestly somewhat interesting reading through this thread, seeing the reactions of various people. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to bump into Sandtrap. He seems to have left a mark here. I don't believe in coincidence, but it's funny that this particular thread is here not too long after I thought I'd stay here a while, the only reason being that I decided to drop by here was because of Sandtrap and some talks I shared with him in what feels like so long ago. Sandtrap was the first person I ever talked to openly about some personal and extremely hard hitting deaths in my life. Only because he had a way of coaxing it out of me so easily. At one point I had to ask him what he thought about dying. Wasn't he angry about the situation? I'm the last man standing in my circle of friends, and I lost somebody I love to a drunken idiot who chose to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive. I'm not even dead or dying and I'm fucking livid for all of my dead friends if I think about it too much. When I asked him his particular feelings on the matter, essentially what he told me was that "death is only an unbiased function. The awfulness of it comes from our emotions. Our emotional investments in life and in ourselves are being ripped away from us like toys, and we don't like having our toys taken away from us." That particular conversation stuck with me. In a way it helped me deal a little better in coping over the loss of my friends. If we're talking about statements regarding life and death, I find there's a quaint level of humor in the statement "don't have kids." I'd be in a different place today had I not had very specific conversations with Sandtrap.

Its dead. Don't really want another one. I'd rather kill myself than date again.
I have no fucking purpose or absolute reason to date anyone anymore and there are no more single classy women left. Everyone either has some kind of major issue or I am forced to walk around eggshells with them. Political correctness fucking ruined women.
I always thought honesty was key in a relationship but apparently that's a fucking lie now. If you can't be honest with whoever you're with, then how can you even have a strong trusting relationship?
I'd rather be alone or dead.
I think having 2 ex girlfriends in my dating history was enough, I don't need a 3rd. First one was in a fucked up love triangle (which ended really bad) and the second one just didn't work out and was impossible for it to remain stable. For the record, both of them broke up with me, and this is all individual separate times, I don't cheat, I actually hate cheaters. Regardless, I'll still be considered the fucking loser on here either way for being a decent human being.
I swear I don't know if this is just my experience but apparently women really love to fucking argue now or look for a reason to argue even if there is none, and give you shit if you don't argue back. Like what the actual fuck?
I'm tired of getting hurt and being blamed for shit that isn't even my fault to start with, and I'll admit when I'm at fault, because I know I'm not fucking perfect and am a mess, but holy fuck do I really fucking try, I thought it was all about being able to tolerate one another but clearly that's not how shit works anymore, especially with chivalry making you a sexist. Chivalry.... which is something my own mother taught me at young age.... is considered sexist. And its not like I'm romantically challenged, I have no problem with that and can do all that just fine and have actually made her day, but the negatives always seem to be more of the focus with women today, its like they look for a reason to feel and be offended.
Why the ever loving fuck should I even desire another relationship when I'm not even going to be fucking appreciated? Wanna know what makes it worse? When the person you're with will take a petty problem that shouldn't even normally cause an argument and turn it into a fucking mountain of an argument. Small petty shit.
And if all of this itself makes me a fucking incel, all the more reason to stay fucking single. I have no plans to procreate and I don't need my genes to get passed on anyway, hell, I didn't want to even be brought to this planet anyway.
I was born way too fucking late. Fuck my generation.
If you think I should still date, quote this reply and try to change my mind. Otherwise, I'm done. I don't need a woman to complete my life, I don't need ANYONE to complete my life, so no. I'm not going gay.
/rant
TL;DR version:
Song sums it up perfectly.
May I empart a story to you? Of course I can, since I'm writing this. I study people as I go about my life. And I see a lot relationships fall apart for various reasons. I'm not here to talk about those reasons. I'm writing for the sake of explaining what an actual relationship is, what it feels like. I met a girl when I was fourteen. She was a gamer, like me. The very first night I bumped into her, I stayed up all night talking to her. And the next day after, I talked to her again. And again. We communicated through a combination of gaming and webcam, email and so on every day. Every morning and every night. I got to know her explicitely well, probably as well as you could know a person short of them actually being there in person. I was friends with her for about three years. And then one day, things clicked. I realized that I loved this person. What they'd done for me, all the times they'd been there for me. I was in an awful place during my younger years. Meeting her pulled me through it. We both did. We grew together. And we started making plans. Closing the gap, getting passports, finally meeting in person after all these years because we both missed each other even though we'd never so much as touched in person. The short story is that she never made it. She was killed before any of our plans could truly come together. The only thing I can say is that part of me died with her. That's what it feels like every day. When I was younger, I didn't care about finding somebody. I always thought I was going to be alone. And I was okay with that. And she had to come into the picture and destroy that hopelessly childish belief. Standing here now without her, day by day, I can only tell you this. I miss her. I miss loving her. I feel like I'm half a person without her, and that's the truth, because she made so many things right in my life. We did that for each other. We both had flaws. We grew and learned together, lived our lives together, as much as we could through the mediums that enabled us. Without her, my existence is nearly meaningless. Life was worth living because she was there beside me to live it with me. I'd do it over again even if I knew she was going to die every time. I'd do anything to give her a chance to be alive again. That's what you feel when you find the right person. The other stumbling blocks and shit relationships on the road are just that. Stepping stones. Whatever pain they cause pales in comparison to what you feel when you're ready to call somebody your other half, and you mean that with every shred of your existence.

While I'm on my day off I may as well post some of my work. Some of it has great personal significance to me, and some of it was just practice.
damn, i love that second one
I do as well. I usually listen to music as I work and zone out. So when I come back up from finished work, I'm usually in awe of what I've made, especially if I've nailed the colour and light I wanted to achieve. I'll end up looking over my work for a while and just studying what I've made. This one is no exception. The work I put into the shadow and lighting always catches my eyes, apart from the morbid nature of the content.

Name I haven't heard in a long few years. Kind of funny that this pops up on the sites feeds honestly. It's part of the reason why I signed onto this site. I was having a particularly bad night for nostalgia, thinking about friends of mine I've lost over the years. Sandtrap was one whom came to mind. I didn't know him for long, but he was a remarkable person when I crossed paths with him. I owe some of the problems sorted in my life due to him, which makes him so remarkable to me. He was able to untangle years of problems through a few conversations and observations, enough to draw me out to talk to him. He's one of the friends of mine whose graves I'm going to visit one day.

Ironic isn't it? When people are given free time they have no idea what to do with their lives because work substitutes an existence with meaning. Look on the bright side buddy. You could be stuck at work like me and starting to feel the overload. This is my first and only day off in a month and a half of working twenty hour shifts and holy shit do I feel it after I stopped working for a bit.

So, how long before things go back to relative normality? Another month? Will China regress back into a shitstorm?
I think we're looking at potentially years here. Shit's too far spread now. There are always second waves with pandemics. People will calm down, go out, infect others, and start the ball rolling again. Not to mention that corona is amazingly fast at adapting or mutating into different strains. There's now a confirmed case of a tiger in a new york zoo picking up corona. And it can make the jump to dogs as well, effectively making two domestic species carriers. If you gave this thing six months of mutations and generations, it could easily alter itself enough to be unrecognizable to our bodies again. We've a long way to go before "normal" is a thing a gain.

Tough call. I personally don't like making arguments based off something that's entirely subjective, which pre or afterlife is. I can have my own theories on it till I'm blue, but at the end of the day there's no concrete proof for me to merit even getting emotionally attached enough to argue anything.
The very best tactic you can use in any argument is this. Questions. Never make statements that the mind can grapple onto and attempt to defend against. Ask questions until the person you're talking to boxes themselves in with their own answers given in response.
This is the entire problem with debating or arguing anyway. You're fighting against ego and inner thoughts of "I am right." Making any definitive statement that punctures either of these realities causes most people's brains to recoil defensively and block out any further input that can alter their perception of reality, aka the backfire effect. To use emotions to argue with somebody whom is emotional or making emotion based arguments is stepping onto a battlefield that you'll lose on.

No flour, no sugar, no yeast, bread, rice. No frozen veggies, no eggs, cheese. Soup isle is totally empty. Toilet paper and cleaning isles are both totally empty. The store I work at keeps on ordering and keeps on not getting it. Whatever does come in is gone within the hour.

and I'm just sitting here working as normal because telecom services are deemed "essential" or some shit
I work in a grocery and liquor store so I get no rest, only more work hours as people burn out or go into quarantine. It's gay but kind of not at the same time. And it's honestly somewhat depressing that sobeys is considered an essential service because all the bumfuck alcohol dependents would go into shock and die without it in the community I work in. At least I can be smug when this is all over and everybody goes back to work. "Ya have a good holiday mate?" Na mate I fuckin' worked twenty hour shifts for two months straight and put myself on the line of fire while you bitched at having a holiday and no idea what to do with your fuckin' kids now that they were actually home. Git gud scrubs.

Finally found out and confirmed that one of my co-workers is in self quarantine. I also learned what happens if a single employee at a sobeys liquor store comes down with the cooties or goes into quarantine. We close down and do a "deep clean" which means scrubbing down the entire building and cleaning every single bottle of booze stored inside. Bitchin'

Both of my jobs are considered essential services so I'll literally be working to the last man standing or unless the government orders food stores to shut down. I'm already pulling twenty hour days on shifts because the rest of my co-workers are burning out and I seem to be the only one not complaining or dropping and sleeping on the spot over the massive backload and hours per shift of work to do.
You better be careful because missing out on sleep will tank your immune system.
Don't I know it buddy. I picked up a bad cold earlier in the year that hit me deep in the lungs. Everybody else that caught it recovered in about a week but mine took a month. Oh well. Such is life. Just have to try harder to dodge the cooties is all.

cool
if the quarantine hadn't complicated things, would you consider going the extra mile into veganism? because if it's an ethical decision for you, it's important to understand that vegetarianism isn't quite "enough" unless you're using it as a stepping stone
No, because I don't think there's anything wrong with using animal goods when you're not hurting the animal. A sheep in captivity, being shaved every now and again in exchange for food, water, shelter, and security, is not a bad deal for the sheep. They essentially get to escape the cruel cycle of life in exchange for a harmless procedure done every once in a while.
the trouble is, when extracting virtually any product from farm animals, they are pretty much invariably harmed in the process
the animal exploitation industry is a business like any other, and like any other business, they have to meet profit margins by selling as much produce as efficiently as possible—and there's no scenario where this ends well for the animals
with regards to sheep-shearing, a factory farm isn't going to hire someone who treats sheep with love and care, because that's not fast enough—instead, they hire sociopaths who don't care if they injure the sheep, as long as they get it done as fast as possible
the nicks and cuts they get from this procedure are known to attract flies—so many, in fact, that they'll start laying eggs inside of the sheep so that maggots can start wreaking havoc on their insides and, of course, cause an even worse infestation (this is called flystrike)
because flystrike happens most often around the anus (for obvious reasons), farmers began to cut off the strips of skin around their tail in a process called mulesing—imagine having the skin on your buttocks peeled off, basically—to help prevent infestations, which is neither foolproof nor humane
this all takes place, of course, so that human beings can have cuddly clothes
when the sheep grow too old to be useful to the farm, they are immediately slaughtered—though, opinions vary among vegans how big of a deal this is, we can all agree that if you're going to put an animal "out of its misery," it should be euthanized, not slaughtered
online, you'll probably find articles talking about how important and necessary it is for sheep to be shorn, because they're incapable of shedding and will overheat and die if we don't—"so what's the harm in reaping the benefits of that"—and this is true, but you have to remember that the only reason sheep on farms don't stop growing their wool is because they've been selectively bred for that very purpose
so no matter how you look at it, livestock sheep are bred to suffer—the industry cannot sustain itself if they don't
I hate how the world is run by this run-away capitalism.
We as a species, best operate when we work together but for some fucked up reason (probably because money was chosen to show your worth rather than your skills / talents) the system that runs the world is one based around 'every man for himself'.
What I've always found terribly funny is that money is essentially a fairytale that we've given power to. I give you pretend worth that has no inherent value unless everybody agrees that it does. It's a testament that is both actually sad and amazing about the mind and it's capabilities. We've both destroyed and created mountains, all for a fairy tale we've chosen to believe in. If only people were ready to believe in something better than what we have now.

I have to admit that I'm impressed with the province's actions taken to at least slow the spread of the cooties. Basically every business except non essentials has been shut down, public gatherings no larger than 15 are allowed in very limited places, and it's now the law to self quarantine even if you've so much as traveled out of province within the country. It won't stop the corona ball since it's already rolling and spreading, but at least they tried to minimize how much it spreads. They're doing much more than my home province for certain.
