Coronavirus Vent Thread

[Himu]

On the verge of losing my fucking shit. No Stimulus and no unemployment. I'm on fast track to start working an "essential" job again. I am beyond pissed at the utter lack of respect for others lives in this country. I hate fucking Republicans so much now and I've learned a valuable lesson. Anyone that conflates Republicans and Democrats are the exact same after this are grade A morons that need to be punched in the pussy or dick. FUCK!!!!!

[Rahxephon91]

Weren’t you for Republicans because of Gun stuff a few months ago?

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[OnlyRegret]

I'm alternating between normalcy and bouts of, y'know this posadism business do be vibin'

[Rahxephon91]

I’ll take that as a yes.

[EchoRin]

Energy drinks fuck with my mood.

I decided to gulp one down today and got really mopey. Wanted to text my local group of friends and tell them that I miss them and I want to hug them.

Thank god I refrained and regrouped myself an hour later.

There's estrogen in there probably

Check to see if your titties are milking

[Himu]

I thought you posted you got your unemployment check a few days ago

TAX RETURN!!!

[Trent Dole]

Energy drinks just make me spit up like a toddler. They're dehydrating or something and my body actively rebels against them now after I drank so goddamn many while working in a supermarket.

What have Democrats ever done for you? I don't know - your most important issues seem to be gun rights and Catholicism

Anti-War and anti-American interventionism/imperialism
Drug war
Student loans
Corporate money in politics
Healthcare

Guns used to be important. They still are, but I'm at a point where I no longer care and I've reverted to my bread and butter: Anti-War, drug war, healthcare, corruption.

Democrats are bad on literally all of the issues I just listed. I voted third party in 2012 to protest Obama because of it. When obama was campaigning people made excuses for his administrations having terrorist lists and kill lists that killed innocent people. Mandark and I fought over it heavily. The iraq war is the main way I got into politics, something many Democrats defended once Obama was president despite protesting while Bush was in office. This is a big reason I supported Tulsi before she proved herself non-viable and before I learned her secret Imperialism.

Democrats do good things, but most of it is muddy. You mention sanctuary states but Obama administration deported an insane amount of immigrants.

For the issues I've cared about Democrats have always been lesser than shit. ACA was a good step forward but I'm currently paying nearly 300 dollars a month for a plan with a 6k deductible. Even Obama's main legacy is shit.

So when Democrats started to rally against guns during a time when they were calling the current administration Nazi's it was pretty easy to drop them.

On all the issues I listed Democrats have refused to budge on the national level because they benefit from the money from big pharma and and wars. The democrats have  had a mentality that is utterly stuck in the status quo. Any reason I vote for democrats now, unless they prove themselves to actually change as a party, is only s temporary truce between the two of us.

I've disliked democrats since at least 2009 or 2010 and haven't identified as one since 2009.

[Himu]

Heaven forbid someone vent in a vent thread! I change stances but let's not pretend I haven't been shitting on right wingers for months and sucking Comrade Bernie's dick. Coronavirus is a pretty fucking good reason to shit on conservatives. They demanded respect for four years and now they demand there be sacrifices for the economy. Oh no!!! Someone finds that inherently unethical. Look at them FliP fLoP. Fuck off!!

[OnlyRegret]

I flop around a bit politically and have done for years.
Stuck in the mud for years stance is lame, means you don't learn or ever engage with anything to challenge your world view. Views are not entrenched or absolute in frame at all and are entirely relative to a mess of factors ranging from upbringing, family, to government propaganda. Rapid flips may make you look silly, but it indicates a strong readiness to learn about new things and an absence of entrenching with a sacred cow that you just refuse to hear otherwise about.

In summary: no big deal, it's cool.

[team filler]

I love and support you both 

[Himu]

Why aren't you dying for your country?! We need sacrifices. We don't care if your loved ones are at risk. Please let them die so we can jump start the economy!

Meanwhile I don't have a single dime of stimulus because the conservative fucks have put greed over lives.

We watched an entire two-three months of Trump backslide the dangers of the virus. "A million tests." WHERE ARE THEY?!

Shosta was right. Shosta was right the entire time about Democrats. They're so much better than Republicans even if they're not ideal. I don't have to leave America. I just need to move to a blue state.

From now on conservatives do not get respect. They get ridicule.

What a fucking moron.

[Rahxephon91]

Rahx are you really attacking the girl on something that personally affects her because of a Final Fantasy argument y'all had a month ago?

Yeah sure. Maybe in poor taste and I don’t expect to get support like holy bastion of thought Cindi. But hey get shit on a lot and you’ll want to shit on the person back. I don’t wish her any harm obviously, but her constant flip floppyness and road to Damascus moments are funny.

[Himu]

Rah, I made a post dismissing single issue voting on reddit 4 months ago in a gun sub.

Would you like the link?

[Mandark]

Cindi, regarding the UI, did they show you the quarterly figures they used to calculate that you weren't eligible/have you filed any sort of appeal?

[Himu]

I filed an appeal and they said they needed more money than I make in a month.

Also my appeal was the snarkiest fucking thing on the planet so I doubt I'll get it because at that point I no longer gave a shit.

It's easy to harp on the Dems for their at times extreme lameness. But it is good to bear in mind one group wants to simultaneously attack oppressive government whilst being in favour of said government banning gays from the sacred (50% divorce rate) american institute of marriage ("christian" prez is multi divorced) and, for the most part, aren't dem-voters.

Just get a job at the Trump campaign. They would hire you instantly for all sorts of shit. 

[Coffee Dog]

I'm sorry Cindi.  shit was very seriously dicey for me for a few weeks here as well when it came to UI/Stimulus, I'm really lucky to have someone who was able to help me out while the state dragged its ass. As is, I probably have a couple months before I will have to go back to essential work as well given the well of generosity from this deep red state has seemingly run dry.

Government forces you back to the production lines, and the health danger is the weaponized stupidity of fellow man. I've never wanted to be a part of the history books less. 

[thisismyusername]

I'm having to go back to dealing with the public on Monday. And "am I going to get hazard pay?" response from my manager is: "Talk to HR lol"

I fucking hate this place, but I can't get hired anywhere else to actually do remote work.

[toku]

The future feels a little dim at the moment 

[nachobro]

i feel bad that everything is going mostly well for me through all this, but considering we still have to help out my wife's grandparents (one diabetic, one on oxygen) i'm glad that we both have jobs we can work remotely and i can leave my house as little as possible except to get groceries for us and them.

it just sucks seeing a lot of others i know going through hard times at least my friends locally that lost jobs have been able to get UI

meanwhile my 83 year old grandfather who has had lung and breathing issues for 60 years calls regularly to tell me how fake it is and how he shouldn't he stuck in his senior living home and be allowed to go to trader joes

[Madrun Badrun]

This has actually been decent for my mental health the last month.  The first month was rough and it's still fucking with my work productivity in really bad ways but I have been able to work out and eat better which helped a lot.

Yeah. I mostly feel bad for my family and other people I know, and here too of course.

But personally I've been thriving a bit... the year before COVID hit I was already basically stuck at home all the time and working remotely, so in a weird way I've been prepared for this better than others I think...

Another thing I've been thinking is that when the world finally goes back to normal, I'll be there "alongside" everyone else rejoining normalcy. It won't be like I imagined it would be if COVID never hit... me being the sole loser of my friends rejoining the work force or slowly regaining my social senses... everyone is gonna be back at square one with me. And that was a little comforting too.

[CatsCatsCats]

I’m still furloughed, my company sent out an email yesterday asking people to participate in their voluntary severance program. For thousands, I can quit and no longer be eligible for unemployment! Helllllll to the naw naw

[El Babua]

The damn unemployment website in Florida still hasn't processed my info. Submitted it through their registration site a month ago, then I finally got through with the actual site this week and my information is still processing.

Unless they move the dates back, I'll also have to start providing 5 searches every week and register for whatever crappy referral site they make you join because Rick Scott got a kickback from them.

[tiesto]

I had to do a facebook culling just to all the fucking conspiracy theorists on my feed spooging over the "Plandemic" video and talking about how they shouldn't have to wear masks because MUH FREEDUMB and Bill Gates coming to your house to personally administer a vaccine and how this is all a fake and the hospitals are empty and all that jazz.

The 5 searches are no longer mandatory but they still dish them out to you depending on when you signed up.

Also, if you signed up on a certain date (regardless of when your application is judged) you may not be entitled to CARES Act funds as the link will not show up for individuals who were denied before April 1 (though users who signed up after April 1 should be good.)

Essentially I have to re-sign up after being denied (only for a likely denial) just so I can get the CARES Act hyperlink in the left directory of the site to pop up for me. Also, CARES Act funds are currently non-retroactive in the event that you were denied in the past (since there is no system for its dispersal in Florida that would recognize that), so I'm essentially out thousands of dollars because I signed up less than a week before April.

That fucking sucks man.

I registered April 12th so hopefully I'm not screwed. When I logged into the CONNECT site 2 days ago, it said it's bringing back search requirements and registration after May 9th. They might have changed it, which they better have.

In a functioning democracy, Ron DeSantis - or whoever the fuck runs the DEO - would have been beaten bloody in streets by now.

[Himu]

Sorry you're going through so much hurt 21337. Feel better

[Nintex]

Getting CARES Act funds starting today w/ instant money transfer

Florida just got a new website where they will potentially be giving 7 weeks backpay

No returning to work in the foreseeable future

Years of personal debts wiped clean in the matter of backpay or spending a few weeks NEETing it up

There's always light at the end of the tunnel even when you've lost all hope brehs

Enjoy the free money fellow Keyboard Warrior 

[El Babua]

Got my backpay and $600 as well

[Positive Touch]

i was doing fine til my job decided i should work from home. now my job is all in person hands-on stuff so there is basically fuck-all to do from home, yet they keep calling me and wanting to know what i'm doing. how the fuck am i supposed to take an hour's worth of work and stretch it into 40 each week? HOWWWW

now they're talking about resuming regular work next week, but my job is 1) not fucking essential and 2) deals with coming in close contact with a lot of non hygienic people all fucking day. they act like as long as staff is wearing masks we'll be fine. they fucking flipped out when i said i'd quit before i came back and dealt with that bullshit, but what else am i supposed to do? i'm not gonna be a fucking moron who acts like this like avoiding a common cold. i'd rather go broke and lose everything than go to work and end up in the fucking hospital.

to top it off i got no one i'm close to so i sit around all day being fucking pissed of and going crazy. it gets real hard when you got 24 uninterrupted hours of fucking psychosis burning in your brain all fucking day. fuck this shithole country, fuck the right wing, fuck everyone with no empathy, fuck capitalism, fuck society. i'm sick of all this fucking bullshit and sick of feeling crazy because i think it's ridiculous we gotta walk around like normal with the fucking plague, teenagers with automatic rifles, billionaire thieves, untouchable cops, gestapo ICE, and whatever else fucking evil nonsense every idiot is out here supporting. i'm sick of this fucking world.
