yeah, I'm not being serious about this, just couldn't resist saying it

I'm looping in ocd a lot. I'm depressed a lot. I'm lonely. I'm worried my kid lacks social interaction to understand people fully, but he's still young. I feel bad I can't let his fam near him, but I don't want to kill anyone accidentally if he is a carrier. It's super scary to be in a pandemic with ocd. My hands are raw red and any cough is me in full panic...I clean so much more than I did, and even that was too much...

I was thinking buying the following in advance: enough straitjackets for everyone, tasers, tranquilizers, a portable padded cell, and a SWAT team on speed-dial.

Why go to all that trouble when you can just offer beer?

Do you know how many conflicts could be deescalated if the people involved just sat down and had a beer together?

I'm sure hitler just need to have a beer to say 'you know slavs, jews, you're not that bad as drinking mates'.

Also, COVID in this state... uhh...

This is what happens when you don't go on lockdown. People I know irl pester me all the time, "Con, come over to (city) bruh we miss you" or "Con, go outside for something other than work!" or something of that nature.

This is why. 2000 cases (a.k.a. 1 in 400 people) in the last 3 days. I actually had to quit most social media because of it. That plus people were posting pics of themselves out on the town without masks on. It's legal to do that here, but I still think it's a dumbass move and I get angry seeing it.

I don't even care if my social life is moot because of it, I don't want this shit in my life right now.

I have a sister in school, she's in her early 20s now, I hope she's actually following social distancing. I don't want more people in my life getting sick for no good reason.

This also seems proactive, just good planning!

Alcohol has a sketchy track record when it comes to solving conflicts, a lot of times it just lowers one's IQ and make them do stupid things, such as instigating a conflict instead of solving one.

Speaking of planning, now may be a good time to start learning how to fight in case things get messy and we'd have to defend ourselves. Specially, close-range combat as I doubt the therapy room is big enough for long-range weapons. If it means protecting myself, then heck yes I'll fight dirty.
