Grocery store worker here. When the pandemic started, our company gave us various incentives such as bonuses or increased pay. That lasted about 2-1/2 months. We haven’t seen anything since those ended. Our online sales have certainly picked up, but we’re still out there on the floor, running 8-hr shifts in masks or face shields, with customers all over the place doing the same. We’re absolutely in the thick of it with no sign of stopping and no word from the company on whether we’ll be receiving any sort of additional compensation. We may not be healthcare workers or medical personnel, but I’ll be damned if we’re not essential. Be nice if the higher-ups felt the same way.

@Deserter  
Yep… :(

@Derpy Whooves  
That thread is a trainwreck, but I was intending to stop anyway. ^{Admin brutality! j/k No I love you guys.}
 
@OneUglyDiamondDog  
Thankies! Skunky wuv you! You’re beautiful no matter what your SN says.
 
@Background Pony #3CE7  
Good ol’ ED209.

Exactly the kind of reaction I would expect from this place, not gonna lie.

If you would like to discuss the sociopolitical issues surrounding policing, please use our Generals > Political thread.

@Beau Skunky  
Thank you sir, for being a beacon of sanity in these turbulent times!

She’s so charming, she talks him out of fighting.
 
Then ED209 shows up, and immediately trips and falls down the stairs, to lie atop a pile of Daleks that met the same fate.

RariCop VS RoboCop. Who wins?

Freaking RariCop, I should have known.

I like this image alot. Gives respect to the essential industries that keep the world moving during a pandemic. Makes me a bit prideful in my work too, as I manufacture the sensors that other companies like 3M use to make essential items.
 
Absolutely love this. Respect to all essential workers!

@Yet One More Idiot  
…not trying to be a wiseguy, but have you not been following the news for the last three months?

I still say Dashie should be a paramedic and Derpy should be the delivery person. She is canonically a mailmare, after all, and Dashie’s speed would be even more critical as a paramedic… :)

I just noticed Twilight’s shoes look like hooves.

@JuniorthePegasus  
That makes sense.

Oh hey this got featured. Faved this a while ago and the art design is neat.

Volunteer firefighter here, I can confirm we don’t wear those masks while on the job as they are considered a danger to us, mainly for muffling our voices and oxygen intake. Before anyone says ‘so do your oxygen masks’, our scba’s have voice amplifiers built in so we can be heard clearly in an emergency.
