Whose mixtape got played?

Back in 2012 when I was living in my friend's mom's basement, I definitely pissed in the sink. Fuck walking upstairs in the middle of the night when I was half drunk. It has been years since I have pissed in a proper sink. I do, however, still piss in the shower, daily. No matter how much class I gain in my lifetime, I can assure you that I will forever be a shower pisser.

Is this SF? Feels like SF.

Love how quality paint with a nice cap feels coming out of the can like with these blue lines. Granted when I actually painted more than once a year and wasn't washed up as fuck, I usually would fuck with Rusto so the occasional Montana was like heaven.

Word is this town (which is just one big retirement community), has the highest per capita rate of HIV in the country. I'd have to imagine Pfizer loves this town. Blue pills as far as the eye can see.

What if I'm trying to get fat? You ever consider that? Tryna get that My 600lb Life money.

I'll bump this thread because it's been a little while. Laughed at this. I agree though. I understand that NA/AA helps people, but going to a meeting to listen to somebody's stories about getting high 32 years ago is just too much. I can't even fuckin' remember what I did last week. Anyways as mentioned in my previous posts I was drinking more, I haven't been the past month or so. Same thing happened, just got tired of it after a while. I'm sure that will fade and I'll get into it again but I notice my general mood, performance at work, and ability to deal with what life throws at me are a lot better when I'm not hungover. I run about 2.5 miles every other day or so, trying to get that up to a 5K. Still feel like I'm getting fat though, I know running doesn't help all that much with that.

That POSTONE at the top of the page! 🔥

This, and the randomly dead-ending streets sucked. It's cool if you like historical shit but I definitely wouldn't live there, I can think of a shitload of better cities especially for what it costs. Boston Lager is good tho, I can smash down 20 of those fuckers in one sitting if I wanted to.

RIP

Yeah... what, would you rather I be hard for you?

Numbers are increasing rapidly here in Miami. We've had a couple consecutive days of highest case count since the start of this. There is more testing being done, there's places around here you can go now and get tested with no symptoms or doctor's note, which was not possible in April. With that said though, the rate of positive tests in April/May was 3.x%, now we're pushing 7%. I'm not sure if it was always around 7%, because there were plenty of people with symptoms in April that couldn't get tests. I have a friend who very likely had the 'rona, she had all the symptoms, could barely breathe for 3 weeks. Her doctor just told her to stay home and she never got tested, so who knows. I have to assume there were plenty of cases like that. Our governor, DeSantis, says the state isn't going to close back down. Miami mayor says it might happen. I went to get groceries on Saturday (I've been buying ~1.5 months worth of groceries at a time), even though there was plenty of room in the store, nobody was respecting the 6 feet of distance. People would walk right up and reach over you to grab something because they just couldn't wait for 10 seconds. Lots of people with the masks just over their mouths, not their noses. It's not hard to see why the cases are rising, if anything this whole shit has reinforced how dumb your average person is. It doesn't take much brain power to come to realize that if you breathe through both your mouth and nose, you need to cover your mouth and nose. A friend of mine works with someone who had coronavirus and got sent home. He came back to work when he was cleared by the doctor, showed his coworkers the paperwork. He said, "Oh, I didn't have coronavirus, I had SARS-CoV-2, look at this paper"... not putting 2 and 2 together. Like bruh... you didn't think to Google was SARS-CoV-2 was? You had the 'rona my guy

Being fired is definitely a start, but keep in mind with the FOP/unions, that just means fired for now. The union can always fight for them to have their jobs back. I think that the mayor and the police chief in Minneapolis are trying to distance themselves though. Watching the video is just fucking enraging. Flip the roles, If a civilian did something like that to an off-duty cop, or even another civilian and it was caught on video, and they managed to walk off before the cops got there... their house, job, parents' house, girlfriend's mom's cousin's sister's friend's house that they stayed at once, etc. would be having their doors busted down within minutes. I heard in the news that the US Attorney is looking into the case. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll have filed charges, it's good that it's being looked at by the feds and not the local DA though. Either way, all of this was beyond unjustified. The guy was already handcuffed, and the other cop just kept saying, "Don't do drugs"... so being allegedly high is grounds for cops to kill you now? All of this shit over some "forgery in progress"... another non-violent alleged criminal dies at the hands of law enforcement. Fucking ridiculous.

My roommate/cousin works in retail. I have been at home, minus one quite extensive store trip about a month ago where I went with mask, gloves, at like 6am. When they opened up restaurants and bars on May 18th, my roommate's idiot coworker decided that drinking at home wasn't fun anymore and just absolutely had to go to the bar. Of course, the bar was packed with other morons. Yesterday, said coworker came into work with a fever and cough. They sent him home. So here I sit, hoping I don't get sick within the next week or so. Just goes to show how this isn't a, "it's my choice, if you don't like it you can stay home while I go out" thing. Your actions effect people besides yourself. With most states opening up either this week or next, I can't wait to see the surge in cases 2 weeks from now.

I don't like this at all. It sucks not really being able to go out, and mundane things like going to get a pair of jumper cables turn into, "Well first I need to get a mask, then I have to bring wipes to disinfect, I have to remember what has been disinfected and what hasn't, can't touch my face until I get home to wash my hands and disinfect the door knobs"... like damn yo, just let me live and be normal. At the same time though I get so much more work done at home. If I could permanently work from home and go out as needed, I'd be completely happy. I do think we're gonna see a case jump int he next couple weeks with everything reopening.

Took Friday off. I've been quarantined at my girl's parents' place, and she has to go back to work on Monday. Even though her parents offered for me to still stay here, I'm gonna go back to the crib just because... I don't know. It's my space. Anyways, figured I'd get to Walmart right when it opened so I could stock up on supplies since I haven't been to my place since this quarantine started, and I had a whole lot of nothing. Almost $800, 2 cart loads of shit, and a few hours later, I think I'm pretty much set. The idea is so that I don't have to leave for another 2 months or so if I don't have to. Walmart was fine at 7am, but by 9 the place was a fucking zoo. They have all the aisles one-way to help social distancing, but of course nobody was respecting the one-way rules or the 6 feet of distance, so it was a fucking free-for-all. By the time I finished disinfecting all the groceries after I got home it was like 2pm. Spent pretty much all day cooking on Sunday for Mother's Day. My mom lives 1500 miles away so I did a Skype session with them, and cooked with my girlfriend for her mom and grandma. Grilled salmon, garlic shrimp, bacon wrapped asparagus, rice, cookies, some ricotta cauliflower shit since her mom and sister are doing keto... keto empanadas, chorizo. Ran both days this weekend, 2.5 miles each day. Other than that, didn't accomplish a whole lot of anything.

Use them as toilet paper and instead of flushing them, leave the pages outside the crazy neighbor's door. Assert dominance early on.

I was thinking about this the other day. Now would be the perfect time for stealing, racking paint, etc. The streets aren't empty, at least here. There's enough people out still. Nobody would bat an eye on someone walking in a store or down the street with a mask on.

So much of this is uncharted territory. There's arguments to be had for days if you really start to analyze each issue. If you isolate hot spots, won't people from the hot spots just go to places that aren't on lockdown? That was a fear here (Miami). The rest of Florida is opening up, but in South Florida/Miami metro, we have the most cases in the state and thus are still under a 'safer-at-home' order. I believe we're #19 on the "infections by county" list in the United States. So with the rest of Florida open, why won't people from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale just get in their cars and drive north, or west, or to the Keys to get haircuts, shop unrestricted, go to the beach, and essentially just live a normal life? How authoritarian do you get, especially in a country that prides itself on personal liberty? I don't think Soviet style checkpoints to get in cities would fly here, that's for sure.

No words needed.

That's not feasible for any country really. There becomes a point for the government/economy where it's better to open everything back up than it is to keep everything shut down. Of course that is largely, if not almost totally dependent on the healthcare system. There's also a lot that depends on other factors, density is a huge one. Overall, Australia is pretty close in size to the USA. Australia also has 7.5% of the population that the United States has (even though Australia's population is pretty much all along the coasts), so it makes it easier. I think if we were to open up New York City right now, we'd have some huge problems.

The public health approach is to get it down to a containable level. Meaning, down far enough where you can trace it out. We're a long way from that in America, for sure. We were at that level in late February, maybe early March. It's not going to disappear, and we're still unsure about how good this virus is at mutating. So far I believe, don't quote me, there are two strains of COVID19 in the United States. For all we know, this thing might mutate every year. If it's good at mutating, we're pretty much fucked until we build up resistance or immunity, because even a vaccine will be for one of the strains. It's not just a matter of "if you don't want to get sick, YOU stay home." The main problem is that we don't have the healthcare system capacity to deal with a huge spike. We've barely made it so far. Actions of individuals have consequences beyond just themselves. The people that go out, get infected, and spread it will end up overloading the healthcare system and then the shit will really hit the fan. People aren't just not going to go to the hospital when they get sick because they accepted the risks and went outside. They'll get sick and then they'll look for it to be fixed, like anyone else would. It'll definitely be interesting to see what happens over the course of the year.

Right, but the difference between all of that is choice and control. You have the option to smoke cigarettes, you have the choice to eat McDonald's. If you want to do those things, it will only negatively impact you, minus secondhand smoke. You have the right to be stupid, and you have the right to kill yourself if you want. Most people have to do what their company says. At the end of the day, most of us are slaves to corporate America. You can make the argument that you can quit your job if you're really worried about staying home; you have the option of doing that if you want but that also means you'll lose your home, might not eat, etc. So the choice is a difficult one.

Well, no shit. This whole thing is pretty much entirely the fault of the CCP. If they wouldn't have wasted time in the first few critical weeks, trying to hide and deny the fact that the virus existed and was rapidly spreading, who knows how many lives would have been saved around the world. But since they were more worried about saving face, we're stuck in this situation. The CCP wants to pat themselves on the back now for containing the virus, but it's too late. All of the authoritarian lockdown procedures they put into place would have been great from the beginning. You don't get to deny the fact that there's a fire on the stove, watch the fire spread to the entire kitchen, then the living room, and finally when smoke and flames are billowing out of every room in the house, go outside and get the fire hose, put part of the fire out and then pat yourself on the back for doing such a great job. That's not how it works. Don't get me wrong, China is not the only country that has handled this poorly. The same can be said about the vast majority of countries in the world, most notably (almost all of) Europe and the United States. The world was not prepared for something like this, and personally, I feel that we have learned a whole lot of nothing as a collective species. For many people, behaviors aren't changed. Politicians are more concerned about making this into a Democrat vs Republican issue than they are with public health and saving lives. I feel that, in America, some places (in regards to businesses, not the government) were all gung-ho about locking down and keeping safety the number one priority. Now that we're at something like 7 weeks in, places are opening back up because they just can't afford it anymore. I mean, I get it. But it's like, "Oh, we need to close to make sure that our employees stay safe", then as the weeks pass, "Well shit, I didn't think this was going to last this long. We can't afford this anymore, so fuck it, everybody back to work now." The government, both federal and state/local have been trying to balance a public health vs. economy hit seesaw, and unfortunately with an extremely contagious virus, it doesn't work like that. You can't have it both ways. The easing of restrictions in certain aspects, and how things were slowly shut down, piece by piece (especially in Florida), doesn't do anything. They opened parks and marinas here at the end of last week, stating that you could go to the park or the marina if you respected social distancing and wore a mask. Guess what? Big surprise, social distancing was not respected at all and people were not wearing masks.

Why the fuck would you do any of this when you can make jenkem and get liiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt?!
