Arise ye prisoners of EA

I'm going to end this AOC vs Dore / whatever it is now by posting something so stupid everyone gets mad at me.
Honestly can't believe its blown up as much as it has, at least on twitterverse.
Left twitter is insane rn. It is going nowhere. This proves the GrilPill theory correct in we need to log off and do stuff irl.
So me and my sister might have covid. She's been coughing for days and for the last two I've had a banging headache, sore throat, teeth pain, and just kinda general pain all over. My breathing is completely fine which has me optimistic but I don't know if that's just because it's early days.
She went to get a test done because we know if she has it I probably definitely have it too. Hoping it's just usual illnesses lol. Not really feeling up to having brain damage lately.
EDIT: I just heard someone else coughing. :unsure:
I can still taste and smell thankfully. I'm hoping it's just a normal cold but it doesn't stop me from being paranoid.
The mouth pain is weird too. I don't know where that's coming from.
If it is covid and you are not high-risk, be sensible and monitor yourself for worsening but don't panic. Your symptoms sound right. Corona is not a very deadly virus, unless you are up there in years, and as far as I can tell reports of lasting damage to people who do not have very uncommonly severe symptoms are exaggerated (there is an abundance of evidence for all sorts of lasting effects, but the numbers overall suggest that your individual risk for them is very minimal). It has killed so many because it is so very contagious, so by all means be overcautious about your quarantine, but if you convince yourself you are going to die you will put yourself through a lot more pain than you might otherwise, unnecessarily, which will hinder your recovery and make it difficult to assess your actual symptoms. It is a nasty bug, and a catching one, but keep your chin up. You'll be in my prayers, which are to satan
also look out for itchy toes apparently. I had covid, but I had zero respiratory symptoms so don't assume you don't have it just cause you can breathe fine with no coughing
how are you feeling these days if it isn't too personal to ask? the thing that worries me most about it is permanent damage.
Well I and my 5 roommates all got it, 4 of us had rather minor symptoms and (seemingly) no lasting effects, 2 had moderate to severe symptoms but never to the point where anyone thought to go to the hospital, and one of them has had a cough since then
Man I'm reading about the current hospital situation in California... this is fucked. So many people on reddit claiming their loved ones can't even get a bed. I know you guys are sleeping, but stay safe Californians.
Outer Worlds is cool, but it's like a movie set, in that, beyond the thin facade, there's nothing.
Seriously. Perhaps the most forgettable game I ever played. I had fun while playing it, though.
The virgin PS4 Spiderman: "Oh boy there's nothing more that I love than savagely beating drug dealers and helping the NYPD spy on people!"
The Chad Raimi Spiderman: "You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!!!"
Yey congrats on new computer! A friend helped me put mine together because I'm illiterate with these things but it's exciting when it finally boots up.
What kind of graphics card do you have, I'm told the more letters there are in the name the more powerful it is
confirmed fact! the letters are also what comes out as the magic smoke when you mess up really badly
Yeah, R, X, and T are the most powerful graphics card letters so I think you're doing good 🤔
ever feel like you need to post something, even if you have nothing to say? some of my lowest quality posts come from such an urge
I don't mean to chastise you or anyone else by this, but I think that's literally what people mean when they say being online is an outlet for energy you'd otherwise translate into real action - political or personal.
oh you're absolutely right. i wont pretend for a second that my posts make the world any better but sometimes its 1:30 am and the best i can do is make a shitpost in my podcast fansite
No believe it or not i really wanted to say all of this fucking shit
Me showing chapochat to people
"Here is where I get all those shitposts ive been sending you"
"Theres a family of possums in here"
"I call the big one Bitey"
Kinda nervous about a past firing coming up in a background check for an internship. When said company axed me, they told me that the policy was to simply state the dates I worked and not the reason for termination when asked, but I'm not sure if that holds true when it's the government asking.
Edit: and by kinda nervous I mean I got into bed, ostensibly to sleep, about 2 hours ago
Real proud of myself for successfully making cookies. I never really baked because for years I didn’t have an oven, but I’m getting more adventurous now!
Fuck I hate gamers, game publishers and modrn games. They seriously updated call of duty modern warfare (2019) to be an ad for their new installment. It's literally everywhere. Ranks got reset, rewards you get are for the other game now instead of this one, they even renamed the game. I bought that shit for 60 bucks and after a year they just update it and decide that's enough for me. How the fuck is that legal? Why don't we really own games anymore? And if I complain online there are a thousand redditors who defend this anri consumerist shit with takes like "just buy the next game" and "well, they always did that", "you can't expext to play it forever"
fuuuuuuuuuuck gaming as a service packaged and advertised as a full standalone game
Ok, but why would you spend 60 bucks, in the year 2019, on a call of duty game, the poster child of chud gaming and corporate AAA gaming greed. All the proud boys dress like they want to be cod characters and you're like 'gimme that shit'?
Spend that money on indie games. Or play something less lame than call of duty if you need a competetive shooter: CS:GO, rainbow 6 siege or hunt showdown.
My parents are telling me not to get chicken nuggets from certain places because it’s made in China where the meat is sketchy
Unlike A*merican made chicken nuggets which are 100% real meat and not sketchy at all :agony:
