We ran out of popcorn this weekend and I forgot to ask dad to get more. In service of my fervid lust for microwave popcorn, I made a last-minute run to Meijer to get stuff for the family before Michigan’s lockdown goes into effect. I got everything they requested, but the popcorn shelf was pretty much demolished.

Still got popcorn, but not the kind I like.

I stole one of those giant rolls of toilet paper they use in public restrooms from my work because I got tired of repeatedly going to the stores and finding zero toilet paper.

I just got a jury duty summons, for April 28th in Detroit. I’ve never seen any talk about how the outbreak would affect this kind of thing.

Last time I got it, the key to the car I was driving was attached to a small combination lock whose combination I didn’t know, and locks weren’t allowed in the courthouse. I got around this by standing there pathetically until they let me past.

I have brief moments of panic where I am certain we are all going to die because the country is being run by what can only be described as a clown car that's on fire and filled with syphilitic asshats who don't understand basic science.

I then realize that I also live in a state with a shitton of Corona cases and a lot of dumbasses who aren't bothering to do even the slightest thing to avoid passing the plague around, so I honestly don't think the government will get the chance to kill us all before the inherent stupidity of the masses will.

Also for some hosed up reason on the grocery app for Walmart it limits you to 2 cans of cat food. What the gently caress?

I am always so utterly ashamed of my interests. I am a thirty-three year old man, I should not like things like video games, heavy metal, comics, and other kitsch things.

It's only acceptable to like that stuff because it's been made insanely marketable. The second it's not making money anymore is the day that stuff becomes shameful like it should be.

My bank's ATM used to sell postage stamps, but for some reason they stopped, so I ordered stamps from the USPS online. Usually I buy them at the supermarket, but social distancing. I ordered them on March 25. They didn't ship until the 27th, when they left Kansas City. They took two days to reach Illinois, then another day to arrive at a different distribution center in Illinois on the 30th. They stayed there for an ENTIRE WEEK until they left on the evening of the 3rd. A week and a half to move across a single state line! Why can't they just send me the things from the post office in town, why do they have to ship them halfway across the country, and why is it a two week process to do it?

I went for a brief walk yesterday and found an entire booklet of stamps on the sidewalk. They even have little froggies on them! :3:

I'm a 32-year old woman who likes heavy metal and video games. Nothing wrong with liking stuff. :) Speaking of being a metalhead, I have a first world problem -- the Týr/Metsatöll/Heidevolk/Trollfest tour got canceled, as well as a bunch of other shows I had tickets for, so there's that. :smith:

Another other first world problem though: working from home suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Yes I'm getting paid, yes I work a job that allows me to work from home, but it's starting to drive me insane.

I watched Degrassi TNG until I was well into my 20s and I only stopped because aside from Holly J, the characters got boring. I'm still mad that Emma married Spinner and Jane barely even cared. Such bullshit.

Anyway, moral of the story: liking "inappropriate" stuff is awesome.

I took a philosophy class as an elective in my freshman year of college and held onto the books because they were light and not worth selling back when I finished the class. I kind of want to re-read one of them but now I can't find it. I don't think I dumped it but it's not in my book storage box and hell if I know what box it ended up in last time we moved.

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

At some point Facebook on mobile web did away with the "sort by most recent posts" option so now I have even less of a reason to browse it.

EDIT: And we got a call this morning that our cow portion is ready early so we now have to find some place to store about 200 lb of beef in our quarantine-prepared freezer and pantry. To paraphrase the GBS Costco thread title, that's a lot of meat to take in if you're unprepared for it.
