(+) Yeah! (+)

Whether job or virus or unrelated entirely, what are you worried about that you don't feel like you can talk about on here (or elsewhere) without worry of judgment or backlash?

It bugs me that the US Government is openly pushing to revoke protections on unwarranted search and seizures as well as protections on the right to association. AKA the US Consitution and are using Corona virus as an excuse but no one cares.

It's the same thing as the patriot act following 9/11. Facism through the backdoor while people clap and cheer it on.

Curfews make sense, martial law to keep people indoors arguably makes sense.

But what does unwarranted search and seizure have to do with Corona virus?
What does arresting people for opposed to the government have to do with Corona Virus?

We're seeing Trump as we speak claiming that questioning the government is gross journalism.

and people are okay with this. That scares me more than the Virus. Sooner or later in months oryears the virus will be gone, but like with Patiot Act these freedoms might not come back if they go to.

People need to keep their eyes on this and the conservatives and just applauding Trump like ugly circus seals and liberals are just smugly ignoring it going "lol you can always trust the government don't worry. Patriot Act? What's that? A marvel Superhero?" and it bothers me

There are small ripples in society I'm seeing when it comes to departments or institutions abusing power on others, or to stay open, or to misdirect and obfuscate true goals. For example the society relief package is up to 120 pages. You think it takes 120 pages to say "help everyone"? Big business bailouts, relief packages, stock buybacks waiving, grants, and more are coming for our same old corportate interests while we're tossed Trumpbucks, if even at all, since nothing is guaranteed yet.

We need someone who has 500+ million dollars to either adopt a state, or city, or just immediately donate that money to the proper legislation to fund these checks. Bloomberg could have given every American $1m, or, he could buy $500m in commercials for a presidency he had no interest in! We need game changing, down is the new up shit, and instead it'll be same old.

You don't have to like the bees to like their poop, but you need to respect them and keep them alive if you want their poop.

I'm worried about our civilization slowly becoming a global technocratic society.

My mum and her fiance are pushing 60 and they're outside building a fucking closet

He works in not just NYC, but the fucking MTA

My sister also has her fianc over

Fuck, nobody in my house is practicing social distancing

I dont want to tell anyone I told them so because at that point it won't even matter

We don't have the societal, let alone global, consistency to have a technocracy. We're looking at a corporate dystopia instead.

Just tell them man, you'll feel better. Just approach it calmly and and clearly just to get it off your chest, but that you won't be angry or judge them if they still stick together as a family.

I can't get my tortilla quite as crispy as I want, so this tortilla pizza is really droopy, Its a tragedy.

Farts

I really hate the pull string seals on bags of chicken feed and cat litter. The ones where it's sewn on top, with a white strip of paper. One out of every 10 you can pull that string and it opens just fine, the rest of the time it's a bitch.

Do you have a cast iron pan? If you're talking about almost a dough circle, a neutral oil + medium-highish heat (like a 6.5 on my range) will sear them up well. You want to do it more than you'd think, like 2 minutes on each side, to get some sections blackened and most just regular crispy.

Farts

Excessive farts or IBS like symptoms is the first stage of mild Covid-19.

One time I bought a cheap cat litter with that same open. I got my grip, angle, and speed in my mind just right. I opened it beautifully, picked it up to pour it out, and the bottom of the bag immediately broke and the litter got all over my rug.

I have a cast iron pan, but our stovetop would get greatly scratched if we used it. If I toast or bake the tortilla pizza, the toppings get burnt and the bottom doesn't cook, and if I use a regular frying pan then the tortilla burns and the toppings don't cook. I could try frying the tortilla a bit and then toasting a pizza, but that'll have to wait another day.
