OT Thread

No politics, religion. Y'all wanna be petty and argue like children? Go ahead. Have fun. But I will screen the thread and lock down the entire OT/Meme Thread in GENERAL if y'all can't be nice. This means no bigotry, slurs etc. Be salty, but don't be an asshole.

Coronavirus

[(Anonymous)]

How’s everyone dealing?

Re: Coronavirus

[(Anonymous)]

Well enough so far. Had a scare with a couple of friends getting sick, but they're okay now.

TLDR: Why.

[(Anonymous)]

Co-workers around me keep getting scares all the time and continue to go to work like dumbasses. The person i work closest with had one of their family members nearly directly exposed to Covid and yet they STILL came to work despite feeling unwell. They were sent home and weren't allowed to come back until they tested negative. They did, fortunately.

Very few people are actually wearing their mask properly (not covering their nose, taking it off to talk, taking it off at any point not outside). Karens keep bitching about long waits and out of stock product like we aren't short staffed AND short-supplied. People keep taking their children and infants into stores like it's not a big deal. If it weren't for mandatory masks, I'd swear that over half of them wouldn't be wearing one at all.

My friends have had a couple of scares in being in contact with people who are in direct contact, but they've been fine it seems. They're being careful and sensible. My family, on the other hand, is a bunch of dumbasses who're off having bbqs and family gatherings like none of the older folks are at risk of dying from it in a very small and crowded house despite a scare they had a week before. They're upset my household won't go, but everyone in it is exposed to hundreds of people daily. Why. Just...Why.

We're literally one of the worst hot spots for Covid in the US and they're talking about opening schools again... Ha. No.

All in all...I'm actually handling this a lot better than I would if all of this had happened last year. It's the stress of other people being so reckless and stupid really makes me wish I could be the one to be stuck in my house for two weeks and be away from people without losing my job.

In a Nutshell: Wear the damn masks, don't yell at the essential workers, be patient, wash and sanitize your hands whenever you enter/leave a place of business, stay home if you can, and don't listen to the nutjobs that are saying Covid's a conspiracy crafted by the government. It's not. Please. Thank you for reading my rant and thank you OP for asking. Stay safe and healthy.

In week 1 of a six week lockdown and I've honestly kinda forgotten what its like to go outside for no reason at all haha
Haven't really been out for fun since like, March
At least I have cute face masks coming in the mail so I can feel a little better going to the shops

Re: Coronavirus

I currently live with two cancer patients, one of which is elderly, so I only go outside to forage food for the week. I am just glad the uni I go to is giving us way more online classes to select from this summer and fall semester so I can still be on time for my degree whoooo

Re: Coronavirus

[(Anonymous)]

im an """essential""" worker and boy am i jus PISSED at people who suddenly think masks are optional

literally had one fuck without a mask and i asked him to put it back on and he was like "what are you, the principal?" like yes so put it on or get the fuck out of my store

im so fed up and tired

and we recently got rid of a certain service that was primarily used by elderly (who always end up being the biggest assholes) so its also just great! fun! having to explain that as of a week ago there's no one who can help them

Re: Coronavirus

learned through this thing that my neighbour, who was my best friend in childhood, is hardcore ecofascist and wrote on instagram about how covid-19, the tsunami from 2004 or all the wildfires in australia and california recently are just "mother nature purging unnecessary humans from the world"
she also called herself "guardian of nature" and promoted right-wing politicians while claiming that "everyone who knows her knows she doesn't believe this politically, but these people need a plattform for their truths"
to say I am disappointed is an underestimation.

Re: Coronavirus

well ive spent half the year (so far! oh boy!) as an essential worker so im mostly numb at this point. but i did have a big ole meltdown in my car in april over all the animal crossing whinging. i distinctly remember screeching "you dont have real problems!!!" at twitter

Working Out

[(Anonymous)]

I've been trying to grow my ass for 2 months now (doing several butt workouts every other day) and only seeing a bit of progress. I think the hard part is actually putting on weight, I've been a solid 43kg since I was 13 despite eating decently, it's just hard for me to get heavier.

I just want thicc thighs and butt but it's hard. D:

Re: Working Out

[(Anonymous)]

You gotta exercise your whole body for real progress. What exercises are you doing? Are you getting enough protein?

Re: Working Out

[(Anonymous)]

As someone studying nutrition science, I gotta say: diet is just as important as exercise! :D Make sure you're getting enough protein - for general health, protein should account for 15-25% of your daily calorie intake. It gets a bit more complicated if you want more precise figures: for trying to gain muscle, it's recommended to eat 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. But generally, if you're having roughly 2.5-3.5 serves of lean meat, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs, etc a day, you should be fine. Good sources of protein include lean meats, eggs, beans, tofu, lentils, etc. If you're vegetarian, make sure you have lots of different types of protein-foods (eg lentils at lunch, tofu and egg with dinner), because plant proteins (aside from soy) aren't complete. This means that they don't have the right ratios of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, that you're body needs.

(sorry for such a long post, it kinda got away from me...)

it's summer and the stray cats of my village are fucking under my bedroom window again at night
I'm glad they have fun but that yelling is otherworldly at 3 am

time to get the shoe out

Re: OT Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe I'm weird but I'm 26 and tonight was the first time I was offered to buy heroin. That's what I get for being naive and thinking it was a good idea to try to eat at the local park at 9:00 PM.

what are some good hobbies/skills to pick up during the pandemic?

rick and morty

[(Anonymous)]

kind of a random question, but I've been gone from FR for years, so... excuse moi

Was there any wank after Rick & Morty aired the episode Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty where they parodied FR? I'd imagine the wank would've been hilarious, but I couldn't find anything.

The Dappervolk Summer Event

[(Anonymous)]

Makes me grateful for fr's actually doable events, makes me never want to complain about fr's staff ever again, etc.

mini rant

Friend: talks about how toxic a fandom is and how she thinks she needs to leave

Friend: [is going through the tag to reblog people and tell them how their interpretation is Wrong and Bad]

Friend: this fandom is so toxic

Dealing with "aging"?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm 27 and it astounds me how young so many rock stars and pop stars were. While I know I'm expected to have a fun life ahead of me, I feel like the fun part of my life is over. Feel like I could have partied more in college but I had health/time management issues. How do I get over that?

v. low odds but does anyone else remember this one sailor moon tumblr

[(Anonymous)]

about ~three years ago i found a tumblr user that did screencap and gif recaps of like the ENTIRE original sailor moon show/movies/just starting crystal. at the time i didn't have a tumblr account and by the time i got one i'd dropped out of sailor moon again, so i forgot their account name.

now my interest in sailor moon is back and i can't tell if i've found them again or someone else doing recaps because there's a lot of them.

i specifically remember they were always on the hunt for moon kingdom lore and had a 'dark sailor scouts' AU, and also used the google scribbling feature on some posts for people to make doodles with. they also definitely got hit by at least one copyright strike, so it's entirely possible the whole tumblr got deleted - but i also hope not...

Help

[(Anonymous)]

Hi some moron just sent me insect porn (she was making fun of the person who originally posted it) and it thoroughly grossed me out and I blocked her.

Can I get some distracting thoughts in these trying times

Srsly what kind of dumb cunt just sends that uncensored to a person. Not everyone has your tolerance for gross shit
