It's died down now that we've all accepted our fate one way or the other, but when businesses were first closing and events were getting cancelled I got real fuckin' tired of the phrase "abundance of caution"

I've noticed that when people are bitching about stuff they add a bit of drama by adding "and in the middle of a pandemic too!" ex: I caught my husband trying to pick up hookers on craigslist and in the middle of a pandemic too! We all know we are in the middle of a pandemic, him picking up internet whores is not going to be that much better if we weren't in the pandemic.

I've made my peace with it. Despite the rumblings about it coming back, I'm staying cautiously pessimistic.

Saying that this is a "dynamic/ever evolving situation." What's worse, is some people are dumb enough, you have to say it when dealing with them.Tsaedje posted:Now, more than ever, buy our products Also: now more than ever, donate to our organization. YeahTubaMike posted:Ew, I'm sorry to hear that. Such a stupid, empty phrase. Also, using a hashtag outside of social media is just complete bullshit altogether. Thanks, it is ridiculous. I detest hashtags in the best of times, honestly. Also, I get people who ask me if I would like them to wear a mask, while standing right next to me and I'm wearing mine. Like, yes, god drat it, why are you asking me?!

White collar workers bitching about zoom meetings. Yeah they suck but you're lucky to have a job, shut the gently caress up. Or talking about zoom backgrounds or this or that videoconferencing software. No one cares. The entire concept of videoconferences sucks. Plus everyone knows your meetings were useless and wasted everyone's time and now they're even less useful. Large meetings with lots of people talking have always been useless, no change there.

Long post ahoy!Uncle Enzo posted:White collar workers bitching about zoom meetings. Yeah they suck but you're lucky to have a job, shut the gently caress up. As a white collar worker, I get the complaints (edit for clarification) but I also agree with you. My REAL complaint is about Zoom meetings with family & friends, outside of work contexts. At best, they are a constant reminder of how disconnected we are from each other, how long we have been separated from each other, and how long we will remain separate from each other. At worst, Zoom meetings with family & friends feel increasingly obligatory in the "because we're separate, we have to stick together more than ever!" era. I love my family, and I hate to say this, but our weekly game nights are starting to fill me with dread. In normal times, weekly visits/get-togethers are simply not a thing that happens among us -- I visit my grandmother once every 3-5 weeks or so, and we all visit my uncle's family once every couple of months (my family is small). Seeing all of them weekly is jarring and vaguely forced. It's simultaneously too much and not enough. I consider myself a fairly gregarious person; going out, hanging out, talking to people, all my favorite things to do. Zoom is the Sweet & Low to hanging out's sugar, and it's being funneled down my throat, and it's making me sick. Paradoxically, Zoom is making me, an extrovert, more reclusive. I know there have been articles about this, and I can't think of any at the moment. YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jul 1, 2020 |

"In this together" "Stay home. Stay safe." "Support each other through this crisis" et all "Unprecedented times" "[oil change company or whatever] adheres to all national and local safety regulations. Please give us money!" "[appliance company or whatever] has been deemed an essential service. Please give us money!" "For the health of you and your family" "Your loved ones" "We'll get through this together" All that poo poo. I'm loving staying at home and not having to go to my office. Are there really that many people who are having a life crisis just because they can't see their Karen-rear end sisters across town?

retail worker and I'm real goddamn sick of people falling over themselves to be like oh thank you SOOOO MUCH for being open, we really appreciate it, what would we do without you bitch this store sells loving drills, not anything important I wouldn't be here if you hadnt decided buying zip ties and tarps is ESSENTIAL and every day, every other loving rear end in a top hat asks me if business is slow. You guys keeping busy? Bet it's been slow, huh? NO we are as busy as we always are because you goddamn assholes think it's no big deal to come out, because you're bored and want something to do.

tbh I think it's pretty funny that there is a general attitude that the virus is the only problem we have, that 100% of our economic difficulties are because the virus, and that generally this virus is an unstoppable calamity of biblical proportions that no society could be expected to weather. I mean certainly it's a serious situation, but really as far as disasters go it's a stiff breeze. But when your house is made of cards, that's all it takes to knock it over.

Oof, I couldn't imagine doing this kind of thing on a regular basis over the course of years. You're a good son/grandson/nephew/brother -- even though I'm a goonette with a guy's username, I'm going to assume you're a dude.

Outside of economic difficulties there’s also government infrastructure funding problems. My stimmy check was sent out one and a half months ago and it probably got delivered to my neighbors and thrown away so now I gotta wait 8 weeks for a new one

"We're all in this together!" No we aren't, go gently caress yourself. Ads expressing gratitude for their front line workers. You wanna say thanks? Nothing is sincere like cash. Funny thing, cash also helps keep the lights on and food on the table; your ads do neither.

Fat Albert in a can posted:"We're all in this together!" No we aren't, go gently caress yourself. No don't you see, this is why they keep billing front line workers as "heroes.". You are supposed to do that work out of the goodness of your heart and not out the low brow desire for money. Also: stay home, save lives!

Referring to 2020 as a season of a TV series. : "Why did the writers introduce murder hornets just to get rid of them in the next episode?"Also, pretending everything else not COVID-related is some portent of further disaster. *Twitter post about opening a previously-unknown cave or discovering a new species of insect*  : "Leave it alone, this is not the year!!!"

"Unprecedented" is the one that boils my piss the most, purely because this situation has precedent out the wazoo. "Some new disease has appeared and is loving our poo poo up" is basically the most precented situation ever. There's black and white olde-time newspapers of people getting hosed up by disease. There's woodcuts of medieval peasant types getting their poo poo hosed up by disease. Half the Bible is some motherfucker talking smack to Jehovah and getting diseased in their big dumb face, and the other half is poo poo you shouldn't do cause you'll get some wacky disease from your livestock. poo poo's precedented, tell ya what.
