Mostly Apolitical Thread for Discussing/Venting our Rational/Irrational COVID-19 Fears and Experiences in 2020

That you just get unusually purple-faced aggro when posters get tired of you deliberately misrepresenting what they said?

My relatives who work/worked in law enforcement aren’t Blue Lives Matter people; there is a story I’m misremembering about how my dad’s cousin got his partner fired after said partner intentionally endangered my dad’s cousin’s life as retaliation for my dad’s cousin intervening when the partner was unnecessarily hassling black youth on the MTA.

dunno why I'm taking the bait here, but sorry silby, if someone were to steal your car and then throw a brick through your front window with a note on it that says "I'll be back for you and all your friends, silby," you are 100% reporting this to a cop

Maybe 5 years ago. Not anymore.

but I'm not gonna be hypothetical hardman over here, who can say

Xpost good for your cousin! Fucked up that they almost got Serpico'ed for it

Also, I don’t know anyone else’s family history with the police but every male in my family except me has been in handcuffs and police officers lynched my great-grandfather. I have never nor would I ever hold the opinion that police officers are an unimpeachable good.

So in summation, shut the fuck up, silby

DJP I'm not gonna get heated with you over this I'm mad at the situation

silby calls NWA

Then be mad at the situation and leave my family out of it

Silby, what situation provoked your unrelenting ire towards cops?

I'm a gay Hispanic who's had his own run-ins with awful cops. I'm sorry about whatever your situation is.

*gestures wildly at America*

jesus fuck silby

listen this is just gonna end up with me being tempbanned again but the ilxors involved are substantially more beloved than S******* so I'm gonna try to actually stop posting this time

sorry i mean that as a command

To Jesus?

bunch of cop lovers here

my dad was a cop and he is a big racist and really dumb

small sample size, i know (although he contributed an oversized portion of my dna, which is frightening)

ILX, lockdown week 1

I actually prefer Duke.

Peace, man - just want to make sure that this high-quality post doesn't get lost in the kerfuffle. I lolled.

xp lol

sorry to hear about the additional coronavirus layoffs and furloughs upthread. :(

imago I’ve been working from home for three weeks and already got tempanned once in that timeframe

I probably need to be confined further, into a very small warm box ideally

tbf I've been cooped up at home for 2 weeks but I was an Early Responder™

let's sort this one out

silby is a good guy who i would personally be happy to be friends with irl, also i find his posts frequently hilarious. this sort of venting is extremely dramatic but my attitude is less 'FP' and more 'gee whizz', if that isn't too patronising

public law enforcement service in the abstract is a good thing, but as with other forms of public service (education, transport, health, p much anything that isn't firefighting) it could stand to be completely rethought and remodelled

i don't actually think acab. scab, maybe even mcab. idk. the way cops are made to cop often makes them bastards but i can genuinely believe that many of them went into it with noble ideals of public service. this isn't about cops so much about the relationship between capital, the law and the people

whoa that didn't xpost i was expecting it to xpost and then i'd rethink it haha

and when you throw coronavirus into the equation, well, things are hard to predict

To Jesus?

today was my first day working from home

i never checked my phone so rarely, not in a decade or more

i can only surmise im the only thing holding this board together tbh

but they were good

ahhhh. just laying back thinking of a few choice threads now. nice

Neaderthal has a gift for phrase

Guys I’m not gonna lie, I’m thoroughly enjoying every moment of being cooped up inside. I’ve been spending roughly 20 hrs a day in bed except when I have to occasionally go into work and it’s tbh wonderful to feel no guilt about it but instead heroic.

Xxpost ban mickey

I do enjoy no longer having the frequent cognitive dissonance of wanting to stay in vs wanting to make plans and go out. So much easier that the decision is made for me.

Oh I guess I also go out to walk my dog but I don’t even enjoy it, that’s just necessity.

wait what are these fuckwits outside clapping for

they want us to do that here to and I'm mad
