It is a really good idea for me to avoid talking about serious stuff right now.

Schadenfreude around 1 my bullies and 2 any stupid idiot who said 'just get another job' when they shut libraries (um, yeah great idea to fork out loads of fees for one course which is about the only thing I can do as an aspie with an English degree and study for a whole MA then just get a job in a shop...) is making me think in ways I don't actually think.

That coupled with worrying about mum/stepdad/granddad's health is a toxic mix.

I hate how much I luv Schadenfreude, these days.
Well, "hate" is too strong a word.
Perhaps, instead of "hate", I mean "luv". :scratch:

Damn!
Forget I even posted. :mrgreen:

If I have zero physical restraints and never ever bothered moving gently...
If I have to cater everyone's everyday petty impatience;

I'd spill everything half the time. Break a good quarter of things I've handled.
And I can even hurt people for being too fast and too strong by not watching my way.

Not out of lack of coordination, but out of lack of control over my strength.
I'm stronger than I could control, and I'm not bragging about it.

I'd be banging doors shut, my steps will always be heard, I'd be very prone to break things on my way..
If I nevermind, if I stop minding how I move...



So I had to be slow to be gentle. I had to hold back. :x

Choose how you would ruin your damn day:
You wait for a minute.
Or have few broken plates and spilled contents of wasted food because I was too rough.

Or nevermind -- I'll just drop the whole thing, and be rough AT you.

Your damn choice. :x

As seriously as I try to regard Coronavirus, I’m constantly encountering those who do NOT!
The mask is to PROTECT YOURSELF, dummies!!
You are so sure that you don’t have it, are not incubating it, but how can anyone comfortably go out, walk, bike, jog, shop with no protection from those who may be (or are) infectious?

Feel like Alice In Wonderland cos I have been pushed from one random bad encounter to the next random bad encounter and when I had my breakdown I decided to take life into my own hands and do whatever I want to do* and I'm still having people telling me 'no, you don't want that, you just think you do'...

*Without hurting others

The internet is really boring at the moment. Whenever I refresh Facebook nothing changes on the screen. I mean, there are social restrictions going on right now, you would have thought everyone would be online. But it's all quiet. I just want to read new material, find out gossip, see new pictures of people's children and pets, anything. Where is everyone?

And Wrong Planet is no better. The only active subforums here are PPR which I stay clear from, news and current events which are all just about Trump, off the wall games which don't interest me (it would if participating wasn't included as a post), and the "last thing you ate" type of threads in the random discussion. Some subforums haven't been posted in for days.

So many members of WP complain about Facebook and Instagram, but still abandon discussion forums to join those types of social media. I'd have thought that during the COVID crisis all large forums and social media sites would be busier. But no. Don't people socialise any more?

It's pretty slim pickings on here if I'm honest. I joined because I thought it would provide some social interaction.
Stopped using Facebook. There's only so many pictures of people's dinner I can stomach. And let's not forget all the racist bullsh1t people post on there.

It has been rather quiet here, hasn't it? Wonder where everyone's gotten too. Maybe out living their lives...

I knew somebody would say that. :roll:
How can people possibly live their lives properly with this pandemic going on? Unless you're at work all the time. I happen to be on annual leave this week but I can't exactly go on vacation or go visiting people or places or dine out, without having to reveal my personal details so that they can trace me down and force me to self-isolate if a stranger I've been near turns out to have the virus.

I'm good at stating the obvious. :)

I have no idea how people could be living their normal lives. I'm basically home all the time, although I kind of was prior to the pandemic too. But we've had no thoughts of vacationing or dining out or essentially having any contact with the outside world. My wife is too high risk.
