🧵Long Thread 🧵 I had the day off today. So I went and got whatever healthy-ish food I could get on a shoestring budget. I made sure each bag had dietary fiber, very few empty carbs (that stuff will kill you if you have nothing else in your diet), non-municipal water (the

@serenityerror @MissRed_Roses @beinlibertarian ALL of foreign aid is taking money from poor people in this country and giving it to some rich people in another.

Who is the real “woke right”? Is there still a debate about who this term applies to?

End stage anarcho-tyranny is the police building memorials to crimes they didn't stop and blaming you for getting robbed.

@TheCensoredRock The power plant I was working at demanded the crane operator wear a mask at all times while sitting alone in his cab.

This probably happened a lot. This is one of the reasons we say "GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS"

We got off a long international flight and boarded a crowded bus, elbow to elbow, to the terminal. When we got off the bus we were herded to line up for immigration and forced to stand 6 feet from the person in front of in line. All while the line snaked around with people standing alongside right next to each other 🤔.

Walking into a walmart w/ a baby on 1 hip, .380 on the other and 2 kids walking... bypassed their rat trap & was talking to the employee standing guard- Gov Abbott had just EOd that they couldn't make us mask - 7ft texas a&m basketball player turned around and started charging me while yelling profanity- I casually move my shirt back and rest my wrist on my .380 - he did a 180° REAL QUICK & stfu 😆

@TheCensoredRock My neighbor called me every name in the book because I refused to wear a mask tending my garden next to his property. He tried to turn all the other neighbors against us but when that backfired they moved.

20 of us were called into work and packed into a room that sat 10 so we could be made to have a PCR test. 2 days later the first person who was tested, and came up negative, felt unwell and tested positive. Hardly surprising after being cooped up in a room with 19 others, 6 of whom had tested positive

@HiStormChaser @TheCensoredRock Discrimination, time for a lawyer

Being followed by security guards on both ends of the grocery aisle as I was warned that should my mask fall below my nose even once I’d be promptly removed and permanently banned from the store. I removed my mask entirely and told them they were all acting like rabid animals, and I was banned from the store…😏 Sometimes I wonder if they still feel righteous in how they treated people, or if “just doing my job” took over their minds so completely they don’t even think about it.

What was the funniest thing that happened to you during Covid? I’ll start A guy curled up into the fetal position on the floor of the grocery store because I wasn’t wearing a mask

There were many, but I guess my two favorite would be being in Vegas at the Planet Hollywood pool where it was totally fine to be maskless in water, but as soon as you exited the water, they had a pool boy making sure you immediately masked. Interesting. Second was New Years Eve, was at a friend's house, his fiance told us her small city didn't care about covid, we drove about 50 minutes and literally it was a packed bar in a city of like 500 with no masks and an entirely normal atmosphere and it felt shockingly strange and that we were committing some heinous act of criminality

A tie. #2 is in another reply. Discovered our town is open carry. So we arranged a weekly beer gathering of the guys, in the local park, sitting around the perimeter of a bunch of picnic tables. Drawing signs of approval and amusement from the distanced, masked, walkers, strollers, runners also using the park, in the shadows of a large playground cordoned off and closed.

Oh, I walked into a grocery store with my teenager right after GA lifted the mask mandate (Dems still wore them). She was telling me about a boy she liked and I playfully made a gagging noise. A guy in a mask thought I coughed, I guess, screamed, dropped his full shopping basket, and ran away. She and I laughed until we almost literally gagged. I’m laughing remembering it! 😂😆

@TheCensoredRock I was in a grocery line behind someone in a mask who started to sneeze. I watched eagerly to see if they'd sneeze in the mask. They yanked it down. I laughed out loud.

@mahamomsara @TheCensoredRock Yes! I watched a woman pull down her mask for big coughing hack into her hand - and then immediately use that hand to open a pharmacy door. So much of this was farcical.

My autistic daughter was due to receive her very first academic award her senior year. She worked SO hard for it. Right before awards night the lockdowns hit. She cried for days. Missed out on the biggest recognition of her life. Then prom & graduation got cancelled. In the midst of all this we went shopping. Here she is in the toilet paper aisle. She's resilient as fuck. ❤️

@TheCensoredRock This is a good post Rock, the stories! Me seeing people ride bicycles with masks on. My husband had to wear one he worked for the Air Force and ended up with what they say was rosacea that's not so funny.

@mll8728 @TheCensoredRock discrimination, I'd talk to a lawyer.

@TheCensoredRock This plexiglass still up in my office because I won't get the vaxx. Best part is about a yr ago I took it down on a Friday. Monday came bk and it was back in place. Only unvaxxed person here and I never get sick..so odd huh

I worked the whole way through. Our chiropractic office didn’t close, we never got any “free” money, and we didn’t wear masks in the office. I was totally on board. We strove to maintain a sense of normalcy through that whole insane time. We welcomed our patients and our office was the one place things could be normal. We had a few patients report us to the state (California). It was just absolutely hilarious. (Eyeroll) I remember driving to work in the first weeks that we were “slowing the spread” and it was like the zombie apocalypse—there was NO one on the road. How we as a nation did this to our people, made them report on one another, fear to stand closer than six feet from one another, rail at each other if their masks weren’t covering their nose, it’s utterly tragic. There was no more “love thy neighbor” it was report them. There’s nothing funny about it to me. And for the record, covid was a terrible illness for some, nothing for others, and it was bad for me when the delta finally hit, but I STILL believe we shouldn’t have done what we did to our country or the world. We shouldn’t have sacrificed the kids or shut away the healthy. I hope we never do again.
