Apparently while I was at work the other night there was a murder a few streets away from where I live. The victim was a 15 year old boy, and the murderer is still at large. I didn’t know the kid, but I knew his mother. I can’t imagine what must be going through her head right now… I’m not a parent myself, but it feels unnatural seeing someone younger having their life cut short.

Khristmas With The Karens
I’m planning to do some gift wrapping this weekend, and (hopefully) send it out next week — waiting on an international package of mystery, uh hut.
This has been kind of a suck blogging week for me. The holiday season is just draining me endlessly with all the Christmas Karens’ and Cleatuses’ doing their Christmas Karening. I’ve only been able to keep my spirits up with chai-nog, watermelon power, and of course some of the dank shit after a long hard day of not punching overgrown children. After all… some of the Karens’ I’ve dealt with for what feels like an eternity have met their unvaccinated demise this year, and probably more to follow. Perhaps if enough of the antivaxxer’s die we’ll stop spreading it around and creating new mutations.
It’s pretty easy if you think about it… I could either encourage someone to wear a mask/get the jab and risk getting some new body piercings, or I could just let them fuck around and find out like so many others.
But for now; I’ll tell them about keeping COVID away via ghost pepper/habenero enemas. I’ve been thinking of floating that one around to a few choice people I know just to see what results I might get back! :v
The Last 48 Hours Of Local Stupid
As I mentioned a couple posts up, a co-worker died from COVID recently, and so far everything that has unfolded is just like the many other COVID stories I’ve read over the last year. There’s already a GoFundMe in place being organized by her antivax buddies, who still won’t vaccinate even after her “shocking totally unexpected ” death because Jesus or something. In fact, in my grief yesterday I didn’t have time to talk about another interesting thing I learned at work; someone I work with (not recently) went out with COVID while I was on holiday; it’s been almost a week now apparently, and she has been on the “vaccine is against my religion” warpath like so many others being discussed on a certain reddit, which is totally responsible of her given that, like the other lady, she has kids, and has a few health strikes against her that COVID would have no problems getting acquainted with, if obliged. What happens if she meets the same fate as the other woman? Will that get a GoFundMe too? What if someone else gets it? Is everyone just going to pay for each other’s funeral?
I see it time and time again over at r/HermanCainAward: Asshole posts shitty overposted memes, catches the rona, and then dies, leaving shocked, totally shocked friends and family left to deal with the damage, and creating a GoFundMe for funeral costs and medical bills… much like their stupid ass memes, it is so fucking repetitive that you start to think you’re re-reading threads after awhile.
Why, should I go out of my way to help the very people, who won’t take the necessary precautions to take care of themselves? What about the people they spread it to who’ve actually been trying to take care of themselves, and the people around them? What about kids and infants that have died because of them? What about people with compromised immune systems that have to worry about these asshats that want to sacrifice their souls in exchange for showing off their impressive goatee? For a lot of these asshats claiming to be pro-life, they sure don’t fucking care about anyone else’s.
It’s like trying to get someone to stop self harming themselves with a knife, and having them pull a gun out on you when you ask them to stop, only to ask you to bandage them up when they’re done. Why should we people feel pressured to hand over their hard earned cash for someone who couldn’t be arsed to get a free jab?
FUCK THEM.
I Can Finally Say It
I received a phone call this evening from work notifying me of the death of a co-worker, not someone that I work closely with but did see in passing throughout each week. She was quite the Karen, and she’s dead now from COVID. She and her husband are/were antivax, antimask and believed all their problems could be solved by yelling at people they didn’t like on social media and in person! My memories of her consist mainly of bitching about people on Facebook who told her husband to put a mask on and threatening to run them out of town. She left behind young children, and a husband who probably won’t learn from this experience like many of the others I read throughout the internet these days.
May these morons embrace their easily preventable rapture. It sounds heartless, but I’m so fucking sick and tired of people like her clogging up the hospitals in the name of “medical freedom”. I read about her ilk everyday over at r/HermanCainAward, and it amazes and saddens me how so many of these people are similar from beliefs to appearances all the way down to behaviour and atrocious grammar and spelling. I could go on, but I’m sure I’ll be writing up another one of these in the future. I know a lot of people who are firmly on the Antivax/Jesus is all the protection I need train, and they’re more than willing to throw themselves into a situation that could easily be prevented, but y’know… Murica.
This Post Is Brought To You By The Existence Of Morons
I’ve stumbled upon a blog recently called sorryantivaxxer, and they record the deaths of antivaxxers and showcase their online history of spreading antivax memes. Another one that’s also being shared is r/HermanCainAward, where it’s more of the same (along with a couple of ironic memes). These are the kind of people I have to work for and alongside everyday. One of my co-workers is currently dealing with long COVID, and just a few months ago he was touting about how it’s fake, and even if it is real it won’t be any different than the flu. Now he can’t even so much as stand or walk for very long. Even now he still won’t get vaccinated, and his health was never even that great before COVID. At this point I’m not even enforcing the mask policy at work; If these Y’alliban asshats want to Darwin themselves out of existence, then by all means…
I deal with these types of people on a daily basis, and having them lessen their own numbers might make the lives of everyone else a hell of a lot better. If I had any fucks left to give they’ve long since evaporated.
It Was A Friday The 13th Kinda Day
After today I’m longing for the weekend to start… I had no choice but to work by myself today; we’re experiencing a large COVID spike where I live, and a little over 20 of my co-workers are out sick with a few of them in critical condition (ER and ICU). Oddly enough, all of the people out sick with it are people who didn’t mask and didn’t vaccinate. I had to work alone today because these people refuse to take care of themselves, and have no qualms encouraging others to get just as sick as they are. We’ve already had a couple of local businesses close down temporarily due to spread among the staff, and the exponential increase in cases continues to wear on the few of us who are sane enough to take care of ourselves. It’s not like there’s a vaccine shortage, you could literally walk in and they’ll give you one without an appointment. Hell, some places are even offering money and in some cases even beer to get a fucking jab.
I WAS GOOD WHERE IS MY FUCKING BEER.
Evening Open Thread
I’m not in much of a writing mood tonight. I’m just glad that I have enough hobbies to keep my mind off certain things at the end of the evening. I won’t say much about it, but I’m really fucking tired of people who exist to be self entitled knuckle children farmers. The more I pay attention to the people around me; whom I’ve come to know over the years from working and other means of socializing, the more withdrawn from people I’ve become from them. I’d rather be alone doing something I enjoy, than spend time with someone who would quickly grow tired of my existence. I’d like to think I’m saving some random ammosexual some bullets by privately enjoying my own swag.
In Need Of A Gaycation
As I’m writing this I’m finally rendering a small intro for one of the videos. I should have time tomorrow to finally wrap things up hopefully, then it will only be a matter of figuring out when to release them. It’s unfortunate that I’m late into the year without publishing anything, but it has been a busy year. I’m going to be taking some time off in a couple weeks to get away from work for awhile… I’m getting really tired of most of both customers and the employees, so many people around here still think it’s either a hoax or that it won’t harm them in anyway because of either Jesus or they’re awesome enough to be impervious to a pandemic.
Between constant assholes insulting me for wearing a mask (which we’re required to wear at work at this point regardless), threatening us with violence for wearing masks, and all these wretched fuckmuffins that have no qualms going out of their way to be over the top rude and using the excuse “I’ve been cooped up too long, please excuse my behavior” has really made me tired of a good chunk of the human race.
What’s interesting is that a good majority of them wear MAGA hats. You might get someone with a veteran hat to be a giant prick from time to time, but it’s consistently MAGATS that feel it necessary to go into full political tourette’s mode over how masks are evil and that by wearing them at my job I’m furthering the deep state and the illumimati, and anything else these twatwaffles were told to think at the time.
I was always told to treat others how you would like to be treated, and with having to endure being treated like shit by people everyday with knowledge that I will never earn respect from any of these people, or even be viewed as an actual human being then I might as well ready myself to return it when necessary.
Late Evening Open Thread
I did something I haven’t done in a long time… I took a nap. I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night due to loud and obnoxious neighbors being even more loud and obnoxious than usual. There’s this couple somewhere in the neighborhood that fights almost every fucking night, and last night the guy kept yelling “I’M TRYING TO SLEEP!!!” I almost felt like joining in, but other people sleeping in the house made me hold back. Then when they finally fucked and went to sleep or whatever one of the many dogs that get left out all night started barking. I came home, had a small Japanese breakfast and napped a little longer than I wanted to.
On the bright side U have four working hard drives inside of my laptop! I transferred games to it while I was sleeping, so at least I accomplished a couple things on my list. I currently have 3 512 NVMe drives and one 1TB SSD in the SATA slot. I was talking to my co-worker about my new laptop configuration and now he wants to look into getting a gaming laptop when he can afford it, especially now knowing you can pack some decent lightning fast internal storage in them these days. I’m going to be retiring my OS SSD for an NVMe drive in my desktop, and I’m thinking of re purposing it for games like Skyrim to increase load time. If I’m doing it on my laptop I should be able to do it on my desktop. Gotta go fast!
Goodbye Zen, Hello Reality
I have to say it has been a pretty productive weekend. I finally gained access to the new email server, and I added a few new website features to the main Slacker Site. I’ve also made a few tweaks here, such as removing the text over the banner… on mobile it looked weird, and overall it looked too repetitive. Instead enjoy my unobstructed misadventures.
I’ve packed a helping of breakfast rice (sounds weird but who cares) for tomorrow along with some herbal tea. After three days of being antisocial I can return to listening to asshats yell at us for having to wear masks, make fun of us for wearing them, and the increase of racial dialogue. Ever since COVID broke out I’ve been having to listen to my not as pale co-workers get yelled at by customers for their country mass producing this virus… even though not a fucking one of them is of Chinese descent. Then there’s also one of my co-workers pointing at a crying child and in a sarcastic tone telling me “he’s probably sick with the covid…” all because the kid was Chinese looking enough to merit a poor attempt at humor. If anything the poor kid was showing as much enthusiasm for being there as I mentally was.
Another thing I’ve had to think about lately is my daily attire. We can pretty much wear anything to work, and from time to time I like to wear some of my Oriental or Asian wear to work among the gaming T-Shirts and other stuff I have at my disposal, and with the amount of toxicity going on lately I’ve had to mentally walk down the alleyway of worst case scenarios for the days I decide to wear them. Never thought I would live in a day and age where I’d have to ponder these thoughts… then again I never thought toilet paper would be the first thing to go during an apocalypse.
