Got gripes, worries, concerns, pet peeves? Just need to scream your head off? Go for it!

Trump is such a fucking asshole and a liar. I've been listening to the daily coronavirus press conferences and dear god. He's contradicting himself, making fun of and being condescending to reporters ("You should frame your question in a nicer way, but you're so nasty") and today was making fun of a reporter who had a Chinese accent, then started accusing her of working for a state-owned Chinese paper (she works for a privately owned, Hong-Kong-based company) and I just. AAAAAHHHH you ASSHOLE. And blaming the Obama administration for not being prepared for the pandemic when HE WAS THE ONE WHO FIRED THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE TEAM GOD. FUCKING. FUCK.

He is literally the worst. And the fact that his poll number are actually up both shocks and appalls me. People really are complete idiots.

I can’t actually listen to him talk because I end up wanting to scream and punch things. Sometimes I’ll find a transcript that hasn’t been edited for clarity and it’s like reading the bit in a bad dystopia where the evil A.I. starts malfunctioning.

He's such a pus-filled boil on the taint of America. :(

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yeah.

He's a shitty orange thundercunt who has zero business being in his current job. This virus is only exposing how true this is, and has always been.

He's always going to spew stupid shit and take zero responsibility for anything that might negatively impact his image, and no one can change that. We can, however, vote the piece of shit out.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

I fucking hate him so much. I really didn't know it was possible to hate someone that much, but here we are.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

I have no doubt that there is a special place in hell waiting for him whenever he finally kicks the bucket. He is such a complete and total piece of shit.

Fuck everyone who voted for and enabled this asshole for so long.

Lately I’ve seen a couple articles about people panic-buying baby chicks so they’ll have a steady supply of eggs. I’ve been taking care of hens for decades and have raised two flocks from a couple days old, and I feel like this is gonna be the “abandoned rabbit after Easter” problem, only worse.

This is also the “gonna feed my whole family on what I can grow in my suburban yard when supply chains break down” problem, only instead of only spending money that could’ve gone to groceries* their ignorance and unpreparedness is gonna kill and abuse a lot of small floofy baby birds. I suspect I may be taking in rescue hens this time next year. I only hope no one dumps surprise hens or (please no) roosters in my run or yard.

*gardening can be a fun, tasty, rewarding hobby, but to feed one person without external inputs for a year you need at least a couple of city blocks worth of land under cultivation, a long growing season, a lot of knowledge, experience, equipment, water, labor, and shit or other nitrogen/soil nutrient sources. It is expensive to start from scratch and any money you spend on it for at least the first couple of years if not forever is in addition to, not in place of, your grocery budget.

Re: Vent thread

Oh no, that's terrible. I've considered raising chickens someday but even after reading about it, I don't know if I'm ready and I don't want to mess it up. I definitely wouldn't want to do it as a panic reaction.

You're right though...I think a lot of people who don't know much about raising your own food have heavily romanticized how easy it is and they're in for a surprise.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

oh jesus I hadn't thought about it but you're absolutely right. how many people are going to desperately try to be as self-sufficient as they can only to realize how much work it is and abandon those poor birds?

although if it leads to renegade flocks of chickens roaming the empty streets pecking the shit out of anyone who walks by, I'm okay with that.

Oak pollen can just go away now, please. You've had your fun, now please just stop. God I really hate spring in general. But oak happens to be the kind of trees we have in our yard and around our house. And they just seem to be particularly bad this year.

I'm over this headache too. I've been in the mood to watch several things. Really wanted to watch the How to Train Your Dragon movies today. But this headache has made me super sound sensitive so I can't really watch anything right now. Silly thing to be annoyed about, but it is bugging me.

The few of my progressive friends who just aren't willing to vote for Biden. Come on, guys. the primaries are over. Sanders isn't going to win. I know, I'm disappointed that Biden won too. But Sanders has no chance. And we know what happened last time when Trump won. Anyone who s not a Trump supporter but who doesn't vote for Trump's opponent in this election is a moron as far as I'm concern, is part of the problem, and if Trump gets reelected is part of the reason that happened. These people make me angry. I hate Biden too, I really do. But Trumps worse, even you agree on that. Stop being idiots.

Re: Vent thread

[caecilia]

Hi, not trying to start anything but uh, my primary and a bunch of others haven't happened yet.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm really tired of Bernie people saying that Trump will win if Biden gets the nom, because apparently even though the Bernie people couldn't be arsed to come out and vote in the primaries they will *totally* vote in the main election really, the youth vote will so rise just not, y'know, in the primary where we're actually trying to see who gets the nomination. And yes, voter suppression is a thing, but it will be *worse* in the general election so suggesting that we should just nominate Bernie because the internet loves him best doesn't really make me feel like he would definitely beat Trump where Biden wouldn't (see also: the recent elections in the UK, where Twitter was all about voting Labour and bringing about a new revolution and then not enough of them actually voted and they ended up with a crushing loss).

While we're at it, I also wish more Bernie supporters were willing to discuss his unpopularity with minority voters (especially African Americans) versus Biden's, particularly in a way that doesn't smack of 'old black people don't know what's good for them until I, a woke white person, tell them.'

I've been coming to terms with the fact that certain friends haven't really been friends for a long time, and this social distancing has been a big highlight on why that is. For instance, one friend had tried to call me in the early hours of the morning two weeks ago (when I was still asleep) and she ignored my text back and hung up on me when I tried to call her a little later on with no explanation so I left it at that. The following week while I was busy cleaning up the house I missed a call from her by 15 minutes, so I tried to call her and she hung up on me again - then sent a message to say that she was still busy with work and would call me later (but never did).
Today she messaged me out the blue to ask me to join her and her friends to some horror movie watch party - and I felt too angry to message back.
I feel a bit stupid getting mad over this but its happened so many times before, it just feels more obvious now because since I've been isolating myself and not going into work I realized that I don't really have any friends who I talk to outside of work, apart from the 4 I've known since high school - and even then sometimes it feels like I'm not really part of their group in the first place.

She hung up on you because you couldn't drop everything to take her calls? Lmao Jesus fuck, just block her and never speak to her again. I guarantee you'll have lost nothing of value.

We don't have a stay-at-home order yet because our cases have thus far been mostly imported. Apparently people took that to mean it's perfectly okay to party in crowds this last weekend.

DO YOU NOT SEE ITALY. DO YOU NOT SEE NEW YORK. If this shit blows up in a week I want to blast a shotgun in some people's faces.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

I am at the point where, if social distancing weren't a thing, I'd want to go out and bitchslap a few people hard across the face for being so goddamn stupid. I just do not have time or patience for people's bullshit anymore.

Just chucked another big spider out of my window. That's the second one tonight. It's unlikely for there to be more but now I'm paranoid and very awake.

I live with my partner, and some things have been a bit grating in lockdown. We have a spare room we've been using for storage which I cleared out today so I could have somewhere to go chill out when we start getting on eachothers' nerves.

Which is cool, except I'm more likely to be using it to masturbate in because we've been together 7 years and he's never made me come. Which is something I've kind of accepted, but my libido has been through the roof recently and it just kind of makes me a bit peeved that I literally have to go shut myself away in a cold box room because he's pretty much stopped trying.

If I bring it up or get upset about it, I'm "being mean to him." I know this is a stupid thing to be getting angry about but being shut in together has really brought it to the surface and I just feel left out. I wish I was a man. /whine

It would be nice if some of the side effects of my period weren't also symptoms of coronavirus so I could stop having anxiety attacks about my asthma acting up and making me short of breath, or the abdominal pains, or feeling really hot and wondering if I have a fever.

Also I'm getting really annoyed at my dad. I'm high risk and so are both my parents, my mom's been staying home for weeks now. My dad, on the other hand, keeps going out to the grocery store, and the dollar store, and the hardware store, for hours...he wears gloves and a mask and he says he's keeping his distance from other people but who knows. He has a persistent smoker's cough and has only been covering his mouth lately because I keep telling him to and he's been snapping at me for telling him he should stay home. I get that he's bored, he was working as an independent contractor delivering auto parts and lost his job due to the virus, but he's literally playing with all our lives. He said he just went out driving and didn't stop anywhere yesterday but I'm not completely sure about that and it's just messing with my anxiety something bad that he won't just stay the fuck home.

Before this pandemic, I believed humanity was more good than bad. Sometimes it was hard to believe that, but I looked for the good in people, the positive news, the people trying their best to change the world. Now it's getting to hard to believe in that anymore. More and more my instinct is telling me "The good people are the exceptions. Humanity is stupid and its stupidity causes evil to happen. We deserve to be wiped out." Nobody can suffer if we're all dead.

Soooooo I got into a mini argument with a close friend about taking social distancing seriously about 3 weeks ago (they thought people scared about the outbreak were being too cautious and I thought people like my friend are the reason more people will get sick and die than if we reacted to this more seriously). I realized I had been condescending to my friend the next day and texted an apology. Told them they could take their time not talking to me because they were pretty mad. My friend and I are in a group chat with another friend of ours and since our argument it was just me and friend#2 mostly texting each other in that group chat. Last week I was feeling stressed so I took time off work (I do essential work and thankfully my boss has been kind in letting ppl use PTO even if they haven't worked enough hours to collect enough PTO hours) and texted said group that I was taking some time off work. Friend#2 responded with "hope you feel better!"
Friend#1 soon followed that text with a claim that they had been fined for being outside during their grocery run because there was a miscommunication with the cop who gave them the $50 fine and followed up with a quick "yeah OP hope you feel better soon". At first I thought friend#1 was serious about the fine but I realized it was April 1 and friend#1 is always trying to pull a prank on April 1. I texted back "sure jan it's April 1". And with friend#1 personally addressing me I thought maybe it was water under the bridge but realizing friend#1 was just pranking it just made me feel like friend#1 just wanted me to lower my defenses so I would fall for the joke that I don't find funny. By now I dont give any fucks if people tell me I take things too seriously. I would find it funny except people are dying while our government continually shows that they have no souls to care for the sick and dying and the people who are working right now, putting their own lives at risk every single day. They don't care that people are terrified that they don't have jobs or any means to pay for their lives and are worried that they might lose everything any day now. Like, you wanted me to feel bad for you just so you can throw it in my face that I fell for a joke? Like...I have nothing to offer aside from I'm sorry that I dont find that funny (???).
Friend#2 I'm sure doesn't want to get involved in the passive aggressive game Friend#1 and I somehow are playing now. Friend#1 didn't follow up with a denial or confirmation so I am assuming they were just joking. They instead changed the subject.
We soon began talking about face masks and I thought maybe we were getting tired of talking about COVID19 so I asked if either of them had picked up any new hobbies. Friend#1 changed the subject to COVID19 related stuff. I'm already an anxious person to begin with so I'm just reading friend#1's texts to be this passive aggressive move to mock me and my habits of taking COVID19 too seriously. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but knowing how petty friend#1 can be I am leaning more toward friend#1 wants to piss me off. So I've just completely disengaged from the group chat.
In the last couple of hours friend#1 has been sending a bunch of brain teasers and friend#2 finds that neutral ground so they are participating in the group chat. I'm finding myself to be a petty bitch and not texted back. I'm also pissed off that friend#1 is acting like queen of the group chat now with their brain teasers because when friend#1 was giving our group chat the silent treatment I shared a brain teaser I thought they both would enjoy. I know this is completely middle school but fuck my friend for being such a bitch right now. I can see friend#1 doing these things to get under my skin and I'm just questioning my own mind. Am I reading too much into this? What if friend#1 is just trying to move on and I'm the one who can't?
It doesn't help that my older sister (who I live with) has been extremely distant from me in the past couple of weeks. I don't know what I have done to piss her off but I can tell she doesnt want to interact with me. She and I aren't close but we tend to have small conversations when we're at home together, especially if it's just me and her and her family isn't around but just a constant semi wall from her when I try to engage.
