Well, I don't actually work in an office or around other people. But, I do have to be around people to do my job. That and public transit in Philly was reduced so much they cut half the bus routes altogether for now, so I couldn't work even if I had to.


I work in a shitty warehouse 10 hours a day, four days a week.

Would have to be a lot more than a picture to get me to run for it.

Fine, we'll put Tom Daley there... in the buff... and you power the servers for three hours and you get to... do things we can't talk about on NS.

Let me tell you, somehow I don't think we want Kannap asking the tally man to tally his banana.

My CEO had the audacity to say people like me make too much money, that fuck makes 19 million a year.

God loves the rich. The rich are better than you, and can do no wrong. Make a generous donation to your nearest prosperity gospel televangelist to learn about donating even more, so that Jesus might bless you with prosperity as well, theoretically.

Also DO NOT TRY to find confirmation of the immaculate words spoken by those absolutely unblemished prosperity gospel televangelists in the actual gospels, for to do so would place you firmly IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN.

I don't believe in God and your post is infringing upon my right to freedom from religion.

That's the problem in this day and age. I write those things, based upon what I pick up about the more sordid aspects of American culture & mixed with quite a bit of sarcastic humor, knowing fully that there are absurd numbers of people around these days that not only would take my writings at face value, interpreting every single word as literally as possible, but also think I am on their side! It's a scary thing that I could roleplay an absolutely horrible and malevolent failed abortion on social media and probably make a goddamn profit while doing so, but on the other hand it's nice to have options. Positive thinking, y'all!

If you fight hard for children and wife
Try to get something good in this life
You're a sinner and bad man, they tell
When you die you will sure go to hell

You will eat, bye and bye
In that glorious land above the sky
Work and Pray, live on hay
You'll get pie in the sky when you die

Workingmen of all countries unite
Side by side we for freedom will fight
When the world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain

You will eat, bye and bye
When you've learned how to cook and to fry
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye

I am positive that people in this country really think that reopening up completely and instantaneously will make their lives better. How so? Better living through intubation?

The fucker is probably going to get a bonus this year, too. There's a lovely Dutch proverb about that, by the way: The Devil always defecates on the big pile.

Because good conservative WASPs are immune to this plague, amirite?

Except that they aren't. There are many tragic traces on the social media from people who ranted against the lockdown, only to perish themselves.
