It's virus time, guyz. Welcome to Pandemic.

[Jwar]

I have to go back out Thursday. Apparently what I did didn't fix the issue. Sigh. Even when I hire a pro this happens to me. wtf lol. Goddamn it. So, back to being fucking exposed again I'm sure. I'm not sure how I'm going to avoid this stuff. I have to fix stuff or work on things and a lot of times I don't know what I'm up against until I get there. I know kind of, so I can semi prepare, but I don't at the same time. I may need a concrete saw (I don't have the blade), or I may need something to cut cast iron pipes (I don't have that either). I don't know what I need yet though. Fucking pipes man. Fuck you plumbing! I'm just glad it's not some massive ass leak (yet). God.

Had to go to Lowe's as well yesterday and probably 75% of people weren't wearing masks. Or they had them on, but they were around their chin or something.

It's awesome to see entire families, kids through seniors, walking in one unmasked group. The virus is gonna be in this country forever, you'll have to sign a waiver to travel here.

Don't forget that we have the largest anti-vaxx population on top of everything else.

i bet that once they lose some parent or friend most of them would jump on a vaccine as fast as they could - if there was one.

But that relative probably got murdered by the Chinese lizard people or something it wasn't a virus

like... 5G or Bill Gates or something...

[Dowi]

At this point we should all agree that climate change is not a thing, but just a distraction created by Bill Gates, the king of lizard people, and Greta Thunberg, the queen of chinese bats. They have a secret base on the other side of the earth - which is obviously flat - where they created 5G to cause the coronavirus so that we could all be vaccined and mutated into their servants.
Am I missing something?

Well you're forgetting that the ancient pyramid aliens are helping them, via the illuminati

hail hydra.

Where is this Bill Gates conspiracy coming from? I don't even know what it's based on but I keep seeing IMPRISON BILL GATES on protest signs.

Man, I felt masochistic and checked facebook, what a mistake. I saw a woman, a nurse at that, who said that that viruses cannot be vaccinated against, while also telling a story about how she received a polio vaccine as a child. What? It made me nauseous.
Lots of "this is fishy" and "NO WAY IN HELL YOU'LL GET ME TO TAKE THAT SHOT" and circle jerking about "the 3%" and how these anti-government militia HI-SPEED WARRIORS are so brave and willing to run towards gunfire to defend your freedums and totally aren't a bunch of fatass racist old white guys just chomping at the bit to shoot a brown person 'cause they've been practicing their fucking quick draw technique.
I need to evacuate this country.

Someone photoshopped some phrase that amounted to "center for population reduction" above the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" and it took off. Similar to the claims against him in Africa. I think they do some things that have a side effect of possibly slowing population growth, meaning some of their goals would reduce the need or instinct to have a ton of kids because a percentage are going to die from preventable causes or make birth control more accessible so people don't have kids they don't want, but it's been warped inside out.

Bill Gates is behind all this because he's going to PROFIT OFF THE VACCINE etc. etc. etc..

It's another case of the reactionaries coming real close to catching on to a horrible part of reality - for profit healthcare kills people to enrich a relative handful of suits - but zooming right past it to a conspiracy.

I'm back to thinking we are on the verge of en masse social Darwinism in this country. According to this report, for various reasons 1 in 5 Americans would refuse a COVID-19 vaccination, including evangelicals who claim it would contain the 'mark of the beast'.

So, I had to research this a bit to understand that too. It all seems to have started when he was on Ted Talk about a decade or more ago I think it was? Anyway, he said something along the lines of we have to reduce the population of the world. He was talking candidly I think about how greenhouse gases are killing our earth and obviously we won't reduce those because we have to have our lifestyles right?? He made some minor comment and people latched on like a tick. It was in 2011 or 12? So, I guess less than a decade. Anyway, I never took what he said the way they did (conspiracy people).


So, now that he decided "hey I took a lot and want to give back to the world", it's all because of money, greed, control of people living and dying, elitists billionaire types...blah blah in the conspiracy people's minds like my brother, this is an absolute truth and you cannot convince him otherwise.

Bill Gates has tried to help so many people, but there has been a lot of odd things that seem scandalous or scrupulous. Like his share holding positions in vaccine companies and such.

Here's the thing though. If I were going to help do vaccines, I'd invest in them too. That generates revenue that allows me to continue to do what I want to do. So, like, why is he bad for doing that?


The funniest thing about people who hate him (and who knows, maybe he is a real life Lex Luther), the funniest thing is most of the people I know who are into this shit are hard right wing types. So, they hate vaccines and Bill Gates but at the same time are for him being able to use Capitalism the way he does. hahahaha. It's all or nothing damn it. One of the fucking other. In my mind at least.


God it's hard to deal with nut jobs that are in my family. My fucking brother is so stupid it makes me literally want to beat his ass. Maybe I ought it, it's been about 5 years, he needs a good reminder. He went to a gym yesterday. Found the only one open in the whole Metro area. It was in North KCMO. They were probably ignoring the order there, which is fucked up. He exposes himself on purpose and won't wear a mask, won't do anything, doesn't seem to think it's real (even though our uncle died from it and we've had several family members with it, and someone else I know lost their grandfather to it). He's a moron. He puts his kids at risk, his ex-wife and anyone around him. Maybe I'll sew his nose and mouth shut for him and that will help. JK obviously. Haha. haha. I'm not that crazy right? haha.

There was an anti-social-distancing protest here in Toronto last week, looked like about 25 people plus the media. One guy had a sign with an automatic rifle on it that said “TRY AND TAKE IT FROM ME” like dude I think we did that already?

Anyway, I had to go grocery shopping the other day and I got waved to the front of the line because healthcare workers get that perk now.... it was great! My mom got yelled at when she went to Costco until she yelled “I’m a nurse!!!” .
