Do you, now?

@KolpSlack  
Generally, yes.
 
Now is a good time to be afraid.

Now, rather than desperately bother me, mother will instead waste bugspray on nothing every couple minutes.
 
I tried to tell her something was wrong with her, but she is notorious for ignoring and mocking me and deflecting when i say such things.
 
Like, i referred to her bouts of paranoia as ‘episodes’ and she wasted half an hour trying to tell such a thing has to be diagnosed before they can happen.

@WyrmSpawN  
On the plus side there’s no roaches.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
No, we still get roaches.
 
She’s spraying the ceiling, after all.

@Background Pony #77B1  
I don’t bother with them, those people are insecure and have nothing better to do with they life, and they’re the minority anyway, while sure they can get into your nerves, but eventually you have realized how much time you wasted on that you can spend on something that you like.

Yeah, as much as I hate our outdated tribalism instinct, we have to keep in mind 95% of modern human existence is hunter and gatherer which tribalism help our ancestor to survive, I mean they didn’t know if this thing like tiger, lion, other tribal of human is a danger to them, so they better keep them with caution. For me the best way to deal with our tribalism instinct is just acknowledge them, they’re exist for a reason, and it’s okay to feel this way, just don’t let yourself do stupid thing just because you feel like they’re a danger to you.

Like, c’mon, humanity can do better than being slaves to their primal instincts.

@Cyan Lightning  
Oh, now that is an instruction, if only human’s body are stronger (less food demand per day, more physically adaptive and one hit not K.O.), these primal instincts won’t be needed as much, I bet.

Let me be honest with you: I am a selfish brat.
 
And people who praise others’ suffering, or tell others to grow up/stop bitching/stop moaning/stop whining are the most unforgivable of all evildoers to me. They want people to continue suffering, rather then help them live a happier life or let them express themselves.
 
This bootstrapping mentality would have made me hate America and capitalism even more.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
Welcome to my nightmare.

I woke up panicking.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ
 
How is it your nightmare? Is it that people keep forcing you to work, and deny you from expressing yourself?
 
I wrote this because I was angry that my Mom did not let me have some money to promote my books online. And when I asked a writer’s group on Facebook, some nobodies told me to “stop bitching” and “you have no sympathy from me, you selfish brat”.
 
I would have murdered strangers like them on the Internet for saying such comments. As expected, they are Americans.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer nor an anti-masker by any means.  
However, I would recommend people be vigilant about making sure the governments and other authority figures do not use this pandemic as a vector to flex their control over the populace.

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ
 
Australia (and parts of the US and Germany) are infamous examples of government excess. I read that people were not even allowed to go out to buy food.
 
As much as I hate anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers, I am ashamed by these governments’ actions because they are helping these two groups have a chance to spread more infections with their so-called “freedom”.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
A have a feeling some of them know these groups would react in such a brash way.  
I mean while I vehemently oppose their anti-vax views and other blatantly retarded and anti-science conspiracy theory shit. One thing I consistently see eye to eye with them is the preservation of personal freedoms. As much as I’m disgusted by how some of them think, that latter issue is however legit concern.

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ
 
Same thing for me.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
I just wish there aren’t too many of those who went full retard with this shit.  
Some of the stuff they believe are not only anti-science, but shamelessly in disregard of common sense.  
I have have reason to believe mental illness plays a large role in their behaviors.

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ
 
I also suspect that it’s religion, frustration with social change, and economic distress.
 
It is also worsened by the fact that US healthcare is notoriously expensive and inadequate.
 
By the way, which do you think is more worth it - ten years of failure and little success (as in “local fame”), or instantly being a celebrity, and ten years of riches and infamy?

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ  
Despite my conflict with your usual stance on such things, I’m glad you’re seeing the bigger problem.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
Texas ain’t part of America.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
That reminds me of a really old Dennis the Menace comic, he is introducing his friends and says “We’re typical all-American kids, except danny, he’s from Texas.”

I feel like shit.

Oh god it looks like I’ve developed a really really reeeeeaaaaaally painful jock itch on my fucking balls.

Man beats his wife and is armed with a knife.
 
Gets in standoff with police, He drops the knife.
 
Wife says “you’re going to jail, you know that right?”
 
Man snatches knife off the ground, swings at police and sprints at wife with knife raised, clearly intending to stab her.
 
Police shoot man, saving woman’s life.
 
Woman calls police racist. Says they wouldn’t have shot him if he was white.
 
What? They shot him because he was a few feet from putting a knife in your neck. That’s gratitude for you.

@Terminal Rex  
The woman failed to prioritize what matters the most for the time being…
