COVID 19

I Can Finally Say It

by

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

by

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.

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.

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.

Godspeed, you magnificent bastard.

On April 8, 2020 Rick May, who voiced the Soldier from TF2 as well as Peppy Hare from Star Fox 64 (among other roles he’s played) passed away at the age of 79 due to COVID-19. I love each character from the TF2 series, while the game is nonsensical and might not seem like much to someone who hasn’t looked into it or played it much (if at all), there is so much lore and story than you could possibly imagine, and it is really, really ridiculous. The Soldier was the only other American character out of all 9 classes (that we know of) and easily the craziest American of the two… I mean this is taken directly form the official site:

Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949.

The Soldier is actually my 4th most played class (from when I actively played TF2). I think my proudest moment using him was during one of the Halloween events. I was playing on a public server with my Dad and Bro with a bunch of random people, and the opposing team had these soldiers that liked to rocket jump in the air using the practice rocket launcher (the rockets don’t harm you or anyone else, they just make it easy to jump), then parachute back down and try to either shoot you with a shotgun or hit you with a shovel. I used my Disciplinary Action to outrun them, and Direct Hit to not only rocket jump up to the payload (Helltower) but to also shoot at anyone around me (the Direct Hit is basically a Rocket Launcher that requires the accuracy of a sniper rifle, you have to be dead on in order to get a hit which in most cases is deadly) and sending us all to hell to race for the Bombinomicon, the two soldiers on the other team were both pissed and confused that I got past them, and inevitably my team won the round.

Rest In Peace, and thank you for voicing such an amazing character. If it hadn’t been for COVID-19 he would have still been working to this day. You can argue that he was old, and that he would have probably died from something else, but that isn’t the point. Him, like many people, are dying from something that could have been better handled if we actually had a government and people that could take it seriously… but that’s for a whole other post entirely.

If It Weren’t For My Store Sanctioned P95 I Wouldn’t Have Angered Store Management

by

A few years ago we had a fire that was 6 about miles out of town as the crow flies; transforming the air into a dark, hellish sky that would only allow us visuals of a red sun or moon every so often, in what was otherwise a smoky unforgiving abyss. There were days where I would go to work and you couldn’t see 20ft in front of you because of all the smoke. In order to make my job easier (read: not pass out on the floor) the company that I work for issued me a P95 mask (I originally wanted to pay for it myself but my boss offered on behalf of the company, which was a kind gesture), with COVID-19 becoming more and more serious, plus having to work and live around people (and pets) that could be susceptible to it if I drug it home somehow, I figured it was time to ride with the mask again.. that was until I found out that I can’t anymore. :zorak: Why you may ask?

I’ve been pulled aside and told by the main store manager, that the store sanctioned P95 mask I received is against store policy… Let me repeat that for some of you that may have missed that the first time. I’ve been pulled aside… by the head honcho who is in charge of micromanaging all of the micromanagers, to tell me that the store sanctioned P95 mask that was given to me… IS AGAINST STORE POLICY. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN WORK?!?!?!?!?!

In case you haven’t noticed lately, or haven’t read my posts in awhile… I’ve been under a lot of stress to the point of wanting a throw a 65″ television at someone’s face while plugged into power. My work partner is out on stress leave because of how much management is slow walking safety procedures such as using masks and not even paying attention to social distancing guidelines, and he takes care of his elderly parents and brother with COPD. Another manager is out due to being a high risk (medical problems and medication that leaves her with a vulnerable immune system). Those were the only two people higher up in the chain that had… any form of sanity in them. To everyone else you wouldn’t know we were having a pandemic.

Tomorrow morning when I go in I’ll be handing my mask back to the manager who gave it to me and thank him.  It just pisses me off that I’ve sacrificed things like my time off to work while someone else is on stress leave doing what used to be the work of three separate people, while also being pulled wherever they want me to be, and working to the best of my ability and even going as far as changing my schedule to help more and get things done faster, just to be forced to jump through these stupid assed hoops provided to me by who I would otherwise consider a walking tumor of a human being. as someone who might have a network of tumors in his head.

I’m getting to a point where I might have to contemplate getting a hold of my doctor to get a note to go out on stress leave. I really don’t want to, I’ve never been in a situation where I would even THINK I would have to take a break… but these people are sucking the life out of me while also wanting me to sacrifice my well being and personal time just so they can get shit done and make sales… because that’s totally worth sacrificing people and pets over. It would be really unfortunate though given that I’m the only other person who knows how to run the department and where things are kept, or what keys to use to access what products.

If anyone gets COVID-19 at work I really hope the upper brass gets a taste… If you’re going to put my livelihood at risk or possibly becoming a carrier (if I’m not already) or catching it myself then you’ve earned a permanent spot on my shit list, and karma has a really bad habit of coming back around… and these people, much like a lot of people in this town and throughout the country are about to get some serious karma.

Apocalyptic Blogging

by

Over the last few weeks I’ve been nothing but tired. Too tired to write, as I feel like I would have written something that was nothing but angry froth. If I’m going to angrily froth I need to sort out what I’m frothing about. From what I’ve seen most people who get upset tend to point their fingers at the one thing they think is causing said problem, when often there are multiple things at hand that can inevitably lead to what caused said problem.. Most people don’t want to understand why things happen, they just want them to go away… problem is in order to solve a problem you need to understand it, and when you have a bunch of pig ignorant fucks who don’t want to understand anything that presents one hell of a hurdle that even the dummy thiccest of thighs will have issues jumping over.

I’ve been watching people buy toilet paper in masses, why? The US is #2 in the world for TP manufacturing… oddly fitting given we are a big #2 to the world, and I’m sure there are quite a few people out there that would like to wipe us away with TP in these current times, so why is everyone panicking? I’ve even pointed this out to people and they use that just as an excuse to say “Cool! I can go buy another pack tomorrow! and the next day!”. As if that wasn’t pathetic enough we’ve also had people stealing it from each other; a friend of mine who is basically like a sweet grandma had a pack she purchased stolen from her shopping cart by someone in their mid to early thirties. Or worse, we’ve also had people bringing concealed guns to make sure no one steals their toilet paper. Damn… imagine someone making an attempt to steal someone’s toilet paper just to end up not only being shot by the owner, but the owner potentially hitting someone else if trying to aim at them. Day in and day out its like Black Friday for toilet paper, fucking toilet paper! What is wrong with people!?!

Why do people act like this? I’ve been asked this quite a bit as of late, and sadly this can’t be answered without people taking offense, fortunately this is my blog and frankly I don’t give a shit what any of you lot think. Generally, most people are inherently selfish; there are some exceptions to the rule but by and large for the most part, people are just plain selfish and can’t think past their own nose. I’ve been listening to people at work who don’t give a fuck if people die from COVID 19, saying things like “everyone has to go at some point” which I dare them to say 30 or 40 years down the line when their ass falls into a more vulnerable age group, assuming they don’t already have some underlying issue they haven’t discovered yet. As the numbers increase this isn’t just targeting old people and infants, but people with compromised immune systems and underlying medical issues they may or may not know about. Such as this guy who died from COVID19 after also finding out he had leukemia, or this case in the UK where a woman died with no underlying conditions, and now we have confirmation that tigers can get it too; meaning cats (and possibly other pets too such as dogs) are in danger as well. It isn’t everyday that you see a virus transfer itself from a human to an animal. :morty: Though I’m waiting for someone to come along with some manufactured excuse.

Another thing we don’t like admitting to is that we are stupid people, plain and simple. We praise stupidity, we encourage stupidity, we are represented by stupidity, we wear our stupidity as a retarded gold starred badge of honor and I’m rather certain we have contests to see who can out-stupid who. People are fighting over toilet paper because most places don’t even try to discourage it. As long as they make money what are a few bruises or broken ribs? Oh, and if you yell loudly and rudely enough after not getting what you want you’ll also be rewarded with gift cards and other essential items that are popular, and could have gone to someone else who actually would have deserved it.

People (and the people who are supposed to be leading) should be taking this shit more seriously… The people who don’t, or refuse to believe that its real deserve whatever happens to them. I hate saying that as that means innocent people will die because of this, but innocent people are already dying, and if people are going to refuse to take initiative or believe this could kill them they are either too stupid to exist or are waiting for a lesson in how their respiratory system works. I’ve had a relative go through something similar to COVID 19 (if not the virus itself) where they had issues breathing for several days, and had it not been for their inhaler they would have gone to ER… the only thing preventing them from going to the hospital in the first place was their shitty insurance. I doubt I’ll get it, but on the off chance that I did I wouldn’t be able to afford to survive it. This situation is really fucked up.

I could go on, but I’m sure there will be more fodder and commentary as the beatings ensue. Plus this post is already past the point of the average attention span. :zorak:
