What Are You Thinking? Continued 7

[Lord Pmann]

That's pretty fucked up.

Damn. Even BFG doesn’t want me dead.

Don’t worry about Avery. She’s just suffering from hysteria.

Nah...I would tease and say I'd rather you live a long miserable life, but it's just not the time or place for that kind of ribbing. Not to mention, you were right. I might have to break my finger for typing that.

You’re choosing to read what you want. I’m saying exactly that - people who are cozy at home are sacrificing nothing. Grieving a life they’ve lost temporarily. But hey, there are a lot of us here that have our fingers crossed for you having a lovely date with ‘Rona.

For fucks sake. Yeah, you just called something in the universe for the LOT OF US.
I bet the"lot of us" think they're morally upstanding people too.
Fucking Idiots the lot of you's

I have to wonder if things will ever get back to normal again. Where I live, people are getting sick and dying all around me. Every day I hear that more and more people are getting the virus. I'm scared to even leave the house just for a minute... not that I'm afraid of getting it myself, which I am.. but scared that if I do get it, I will give it to my babies. My man is a truck driver, and although he isn't doing out of state deliveries right now, he's still out and about locally, so we're both trying to be really careful about who we come in contact with. But sometimes we have no control in who we come contact with. Especially when we have to go to the store for food and other necessities. So there's that.

I hope everyone is being careful and not doing anything that will put them at risk. I'm hoping we all will get through this without getting sick and I hope this will happen soon. Even when it does though, I'm pretty sure it's going to take an even longer time to get things back to being normal.

So with that said, be safe and stay healthy everyone.

I had 30 minutes in my classroom to grab what I will need while teaching from home over the next 3 months. I made a list before I went so that I could streamline my efforts and make the most of that short amount of time. I had a plan.

I opened my classroom and it was like a moment frozen in time. Halfway finished projects. Jackets left in the coat closet. Calendar untouched. That normal buzzing energy of my classroom was stagnant.

I know that I am lucky. I am so thankful for how fortunate I am to have my family safe, and to be surrounded by a community that looks out for one another. But, I get to be sad about the loss of the rest of the school year. I start this new project every September and I work on it all year until it’s a masterpiece in June. I usually feel accomplished, at least partially. But this year I don’t. I feel like it’s incomplete and I’m so sorry for my students, and for my own children too.

I’m going to make the best of it. I have some ideas for making my daily lessons as meaningful and engaging as I can. I appreciate a challenge.

Anyway that’s what I’m thinking.

Didn't one of your friends make just the same comment to you last week? Where was her ass chewing?

I don’t know. I didn’t see it. Or at least I don’t know what you’re talking about off the top of my head. But I doubt my friend did it in such a cunty, high horse fashion. If she had, we likely wouldn’t be friends. Or she doesn’t make a pattern of it.

Really, her ass chewing was because she’s often posting rabid rants and shit about how awful people are who don’t agree with her political persuasion. Then she wishes death or a virus upon them. She’s bitching of people complaining about nonsense shit when she herself just did the same thing, bemoaning the cancellation of what must be the world’s most boring rendezvous ever. My sperm just fall asleep thinking about it.

She’s an elitist twat. Feel free to disagree. I won’t wish death or any virus on you. In fact, we can still be friendly and talk.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I think we have room in our hearts to be upset about the "little" things as well as the "big" things.

I agree with this.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Nah...I would tease and say I'd rather you live a long miserable life, but it's just not the time or place for that kind of ribbing. Not to mention, you were right. I might have to break my finger for typing that.

Look at us. Mending bridges.

 

[Lord Pmann]

The bigger question here is what are you doing to warrant multiple people wishing a virus on you? What were you wearing? Were you asking for it?

People like you and your feminazi friend promote virus culture.

If your earlier reference was to AGG, the reason she didn’t get an ass chewing is because she’s not an elitist twat. She’s just a twat. But nevertheless, she’s my friend. So her wishing death on me is different. She would be sad.

 

[Jada59]

Why is this chat taking so long?

 

[Deleted member 1306910]

What in the world did I walk in on?

The Real Lit? This is what lurks underneath the nice surface bullshit.

 

[Lord Pmann]

My reference was to the same words being used towards you with different results.

I don't think either of them are twats, FTR.

Yes. It’s the same way black people can call each other nigger or I can call my best mate a shit eating stinkbag. I can’t call anyone that word without severe consequences (nor should I). No one else can call my friend a shit eating stink bag.

You can’t possibly be arguing how different people can say the same thing with different effects, can you? She didn’t wish the coronavirus on me as a joke.

You’re half right. AGG isn’t a twat.

How bored are you right now?

 

[lanceGibs]

I think all Litsters should remain virus free and such agressive offensive posts should stop.

 

[StacyLeigh]

I’m thinking that there is a difference between being offended and being disgusted. Just as there’s a difference between an honest conversation and spewing venom.

 

[Suz_anne]

Yes, let's get back to the passive aggressive posts that are the hallmark of these threads.

Yo!!! Suz...how goes the prepping?

It's been a minute

I'm sorry, I got distracted earlier but I meant to tell you, I love this about you! And I adore the highlighted sentence! Your students are so lucky!

People on the Playground don't like reality. There are 350 million Americans, give or take a few. By this time next year, 150 million will have had the virus. At a 1% mortality, that is 1.5 million. At a 0.5% mortality, that is 750,000 dead. Pick whatever rate you want, it doesn't matter. Flattening the curve does nothing to these numbers except slow down the inevitable. Won't having more masks, more gloves, more gowns, more respirators drastically reduce this number? No. If you need me to explain why, I will. Those things only help keep the base number from escalating to 3 to 4 million. This is the reality. The sooner people choose to understand 100,000 deaths is a fucking pipe dream, maybe they might actually ask "Is there something I can do to help?" The answer is yes. But hey...this is the playground. Easier to bitch about people cause they said something in a way that others disapproved of. I have been on that receiving end before. Will be again.

This reality was avoidable. 100%. We could have contained this at 1000 deaths total. Today alone...we had 750 deaths. Tomorrow, this will be 1000. The next day, it will be 1500. It is doubling every 2 to 3 days. You don't want to talk reality. You don't want to talk politics. That is why this is happening. Too many people sticking their head up their ass....la la la la la la la la let's talk shit about someone, for telling the truth.

One out of 3 of us will get this within a year. Lipid coated viruses don't disappear. And they are really fucking hard to make a vaccine for. That is why we don't have a vaccine that works for AIDS...caused by HIV, another lipid coated virus.

I get it...people are scared. I am scared. I have a PhD in a branch of genetics. I have taken immunology courses. We have every reason to be scared. We have to pull together now as a nation. No ifs ands buts or ors. And we can start here. Or not. Isn't gonna change one thing I have said, other than how we choose to behave.

[Suz_anne]

Yo!!! Suz...how goes the prepping?

Hiya Tinman. I'm all prepped up and we're healthy, sane and safe. I bought a bunch of dehydrated veggies and it reminded me of your suggestion to get a dehydrator if I get the chance to expand my garden. Seems like a good idea!

How are you?

 

[ydahecnot]

Holy hell...how can there be a defense of that?
