Current Events > Why do americans struggle to just stay at home

(+) Yeah! (+)

For just like three freaking months. You really need beaches that bad?

A nation of ADHD people

social interaction is addictive when it works for you in general

90 days is a long time, bro.

I legitimately feel more violent and irritable.

More like a nation full of people that still bleed with the ideals of an anti authoritative bend. it's like a nation full of Rage against the Machine, but instead of fuck you I won't do what you tell me, it's fuck you, I'm going to Lowes.

It's going to be more like 180 days

You say ADHD, and bring up what I assume is Florida.
Florida is the home of Disney, You do the Math.

He said 3 months.

The weird thing is I dont even LIKE going out much. Given the choice I typically stay home and chill or work on personal hobby projects. But theres something about being told I CANT go and do where and what I want that is crawling up my back. Not having the option is eating away at me more than actually doing it.

I spent the year after high school graduation basically locked in my room. I thought this would be just like that but it's not... it's just not enjoyable now.

Just pretend you're a Buddhist monk. Those guys are never unhappy.

People should be more like Eric Cartman: Screw you guys! I'm going home!

Because they closed all of the small businesses and other stores when it was the theme parks, theaters, beaches, and cons that would've caused issues. Overzealous fools in power are going to cause a great depression.

I could see myself becoming a problem prisoner if I ever went to jail, based on what Ive been having to put up with (and at least now I can still keep myself busy; this would have been legit torture if I had such restrictions in the 90s).

Because they're idiots with poor attention spans that hate their home life. Find a damn hobby.

don't conflate this with ADHD nor imply that ADHD is bad; it's ableism

Maybe a lot of these people need more money to pay their bills/food. Probably easy to dismiss them if you get to work from home and don't have to worry about when your next paycheck is coming in.

3 months would be fucking hard for most people. I would do it, but I would start to crack. The main issue I have is we are showing how selfish we are after a few fucking weeks. We are taking about literal weeks. Yeah some need money, but really you can see the real reason is these protestors are puppets trying to stick it to democrats. Want to know what would have happened if the past 5 weeks everyone stayed home like they were asked to? We would be opening up right in the near future. Trump's talk of the entire country opening up wouldn't be some wet dream, it would be a realistic dream within our grasp. Instead we are planning to open up with cases still coming in and lives still dying by the thousands.

Americans don't like being told what to do, they think that means their rights are being stripped. I wish there was a way for them to see what that's really like. Being asked to stay home was our big nationwide mission, and we couldn't even last a few weeks. Past generations laugh at us. Imagine what the boys who were rounded up after being drafted to go to war would think of us. They were shipped to the other side of the globe and they went to fight in bloody battles, and we can't sit on our couches for a few weeks.

Americans have real jobs and make real money. We dont have time to stay home because of the flu.

Yeah those smiling faces wasting money on props and gas for their truck to block traffic clearly look like the types who are there because they are needing money.

The country with the highest rate if incarceration doesn't like being incarcerated.

Although i like aggressive consumerism too.

American culture celebrates the extrovert so that's what a lot of people developed into. They're all going crazy staying indoors.

We can tell. Tell me the last time the flu killed 40,000 people in about 3 weeks.

Altering posts is for people incapable of arguing on a message board although they initiate contact

Have to work through this .

American is an arrogant, degenerate society in decline that will be lucky to make it another century in its current form. Ignoring military capabilities, if America today had to fight WWII, it would lose. They would talk themselves into Pearl Harbor being an inside job or claim that Hitler's quarrels would end in Europe.

This is true because you can't win a war by expressing your feelings.

Because a lot of us have social jobs that put us around people constantly and some people have to have social interaction with others, or be in places other than our homes.. Depression can spike potentially in situations like this. Imagine being one of my guinea pigs or my hamster. they are in a cage all the time or in the room when i let them out.. they only come out of the cage when i let them out. Humans aren't the same as the animals, we can't stay cooped up or caged up very long. It can affect our minds and our bodies.

Except for when its been shitty ass cold 40 degrees here, my ass has been at either the local park, or local forest out in the woods every day. and not one damn person, will tell me not to..i will ignore that.

Meanwhile, Anne Frank spent 2 years hiding in an attic.

im a severely at-risk person so i have no qualms about staying my happy ass right here

BUT at the same time it does kinda bum me out that i cant just run down to the store for stuff i need anymore

Well to be fair thats a more immediately realized threat, not a vague enemy that makes you suspicious of literally everyone.

Is becoming so stir-crazy that you begin doing illegal things like seeding torrents or hacking Microsoft servers still unjustifiable?

it's because alot of people don't know how the virus works. these people think that you have to be viably coughing and sneezing like a madlad just to spread the virus to others

plus alot of these people live in smaller neighbors that haven't been hit by the virus so they don't care about it until it's too late. like americans just lack empathy, they know it's happening in other places but since that has nothing to do them they just don't give a fuck.

also people are way too optimistic and underestimate the risks. I've seen people here literally go "It's only a 3% chance of death, I'll take my chances", like that mentality just makes no sense to me as if the only choices are life without problems and death. people just ignore the possible side effects and with people being too optimistic they take greater risks like not washings hands, not practicing social distancing and not wearing masks

and there's alot more stuff that people already pointed out here

---

The irony is that I'd love nothing more than to stay home for a few months, but can't because I have to go to work and deal with all the people who refuse to stay home.

Since when do people like being confined to a small space for an extended period of time? Literally house arrest and asking why people are struggling with it.

"Literally house arrest" - people are allowed to come and go as they want, go for a walk, go for a run, go to the store.
