i stopped drinking as soon as it became clear this poo poo was becoming real and i'm pretty sure that its kept me sane during all of this surprisingly

the occasional moments of moroseness that one too many beers could cause would have been a lot to handle rn

Again, it’s the right choice and I don’t want anyone to get sick or die and I will continue on as I have been, but god damnit people.

I am beginning to experience feelings of despair.

there is not going to be a discrete 'lockdown is over' event, and it will be years before things feel normal. you need to find a way to live sustainably while still social distancing.

i am looking forward to camping more than i ever have this summer.

what is it thats winding you up this much? stayin at home? no socializing?

I’m just isolated. I haven’t seen my Mom since Christmas and she’s a really cool person. If I didn’t have her as my mother, I would choose her as my friend.

I just don’t see an end to this. I mean, I know we will eventually have some sort of treatment or a vaccine, but it’s so far away.

The country is opening back up, against medical advice. And I’m just sitting here rotting away. I have the means to book an ocean getaway to a southern state. I could get a haircut, go out to dinner, and pretend one last time that this is all a bad dream.

But what kind of monster would that make me? I have a science degree for Christ’s sake. I know better. There’s a reason I’m under shelter in place orders.

I just don’t see an end and I don’t see anything in my future to look forward to in 2020.

the only time I leave my place is to go shopping for supplies, go mail a package at the post office, go visit my gf, or go for a hike with my gf

out of all of those visiting my gf and going hiking are the least dangerous activities

the second wave were gonna get from opening up to early (which 1/2 the nation is) is going to result in a tidal wave of dead people

on the bright side it’s mostly chud states that are opening

on the not bright side, most of the people getting sick in chud states are minorities working in food processing plants

Visit a forest and just kinda walk around a bit, there's a forest and bird sanctuary like 15 minutes from me and they have like a $5/month membership that lets you in any time, it's pretty rad and you must have something like 5x better because I live in Nebraska which is, as they say, not good.

Thank you, this is good advice. I have national and state forests close by. One place has a series of waterfalls. Maybe a nice walk on a trail through some waterfalls would be nice.

at a certain point the sheer volume of deaths must make this suppression strategy impossible eventually, I would think. Like if 2,000 extra people a day started dying from pneumonia or 'unspecified respiratory illness' in the middle of the covid-19 epidemic it's not like people won't notice that. but I guess the news can just not report it, they're all owned by part of the fascist rightwing oligarchy which also controls the government so it could already be happening and we wouldn't know

just lol @ future me, hearing that the government was hiding deaths by simply stealing thousands of bodies piled up outside hospitals and dumping them in mass graves in the desert to try to suppress the covid-19 death count, and not being surprised in the least

TBH this thread has been really fun for me to hang out in therapeutically speaking. We're all negotiating different types of tension that expresses itself both passively and actively, in unpredictable and uncontrollable fits, and my blackpill comedy accelerationist brain is working pretty good in this space. It is not about finding something productive or constructive, it is about finding what helps you hang on
