Only thing that sucks is girls wont meet up for casual sex as easily due to muh social distancing
Oh well
It's been funny watching liberal friends post news about nature reverting to its pristine state since society stopped functioning. I don't think they realise that they're proving the republicans right about climate change, and I can't wait to rub it in their faces next time they talk shit.
People are gonna be neurotic for years after this. On the plus side, fewer STDs and abortions as a result, hopefully.
not at all.
except
- it's wonderfully silent outside all the time now ( not only sunday )
- i bought extra prepps
- i've constantly have to warn the 3faggy ppl i actuylly care about to take the virus seriously and how to act
I 'm a brainlet who doesn't know how the market works. How do you make money off stocks going down?
The landscape place is closed and I need a bunch of mulch, topsoil, and gravel!! FUCK
It's called 'shorting'
Not at all. Working from home at a major defence contractor and am an essential employee, and instability is good for war.
Two months retired. My son and I are just finishing renovating the house. Self isolation sucks yet it means nothing, same work, same food, same satire bs'ing etc.
The way I did it was some options on volatility going up. Basically if the market shit the bed I'd make money and got extremely lucky as volatility hit historic highs
Yeah not like it was super easy to get laid before this, I'm on Yas Forums so yeah. But now girls have the easy excuse of social distancing even though I'm sure they're still getting pounded by chad
I love it. I'm still working full time.
>natural gas = critical infrastructure
Traffic is light and people stay the fuck away from me.
I hope this shit is permanent.
Well I don't have a job now because it got shut down for the virus, and thus have no source of income.
I checked about getting unemployment, but I have to get a new job to receive it, and i'm still waiting on my old job opening back up, knowing my luck it wont though.
I'm working 60 hour weeks to make sure the obese get their disgusting tyson meat. That's literally the only thing that has changed recently.
I work at big events as a vendor, so this shit has completely killed my business. I have enough savings to survive a depression without too much hardship, would rather me working though.
>EE for major federal defense contractor
>"Country Critical" business. Must stay open even if sick.
>Ordered to work from home.
>Sit at home making big bucks while drinking gin&tonics and playing RDR2 all day
Pretty fucking alright with me.
I feel better than ever, for the first time in awhile I actually have time to do the things I love.
As a neet the situation's the same as before. Actually, gonna get some government gibs, so it's an improvement.
Working 70 hours a week. No downtime, no brakes.
very little at all honestly
i work in a cruise ship so now im home bored and doing nothing while this nothing burger lasts
I've gotten done with a record amount of grinding in shit thunder.
You enter into a contract saying that you'll sell X amount of stonks for $Y in Z amount of time. If they're worth less than your buyer agreed to pay when Z time has passed, you make money. If they're worth more, you lose money.
Made my job harder and not getting paid more. Not that bad.
I'm about two months filling for bankruptcy
its made me wealthier.
god I love free checks and god I love socialist leafland
Only thing that changed is that I have to put on sanitizer every day.
I can’t drink at my favorite bar, so that kinda sucks
My lease was gonna go to a month to month in May but now boomer landlord is selling the property and I have to be out by the 1st. Hope my toyota corolla is comfy boys!
I get paid regardless and I dont have to go to work. Essential personel so i can go wherever i want. Been hanging with the wife and kids more. I like it, but its going to be hell on the rest of the country. Feels bad, man.
>finances, livelihood
None, I moved and got a new job while this was going on.
>quality of life
Its been two weeks since I have spoken to any human being in person. So its been better.
I'm actually getting a lot more sex during quarantine desu
It hit small business owners pretty hard,
Improved it, I've received an increase in welfare benefits innit.
i'm mostly in stocks and have enough cash that i can live on for 5 years. so while my net worth has gone down, i'm not too worried in the long run. i've been buying on the way down.
Others shall be forced to sample the NEET life and develop some understanding of why it eventually is so hard to fix.
I have a private practice as a dentist. I'll probably go bankrupt over this, like millions of other white people. Probably have to become a wagecuck for a kike chaincorp after this. Can't feed my family on welfare, but I'm considering just not giving a shit and becoming a criminal instead. Why should I give a shit in clown world? Tried to send my health authorities the actual virological data on this flu to show how death rates are estimated to be not much higher than other flus and their hysterical reaction based on the literally WHO's recommendations are retarded, but they ignored my mails.
Other than that it's ok. I'm taking my sons fishing and reading up on my backlog of books. Shitposting here to btfo some CIA nigger corona-shills.
Terribly.
I was doing well. I had JUST gotten hired at a new job. I had JUST started making A's in school. I was JUST about to fix my life.
Now this crap. I haven't eaten anything in days except one or two bites of peanut butter. Starting to get depressed. Stuck in apartment. Everyone went home. Broke.
Pretty much the same financially.
My only real concern is that I am preparing to wage a one man war on any glow agents that come and try kidnapping my family and pumping them with some vaccine.
I've gotten to play animal crossing nonstop, which has been great!
But I can't buy beer because alcohol sale is banned here, true oppression.
Also I might have to sell my house and move somewhere smaller if this keeps up, the lockdown here is extreme and it's impossible to work but the bills keep pilling up.
cunt take your meds
in terms of living; nothing has changed since I'm a NEET, but beach walks are way more comfier since the normal cattle are gone.
>play animal crossing
>nonstop
You could play that game MAX 2 hours every day before you run out of shit to even do, fucking mobile game bullshit.
Listen here cunt, if you aren't prepared for our cucked government to bow to the UN and WHO then you must be living under a ROCK.
I am prepared to build a fucking pyramid of Glowie skulls, mark my word!
Do random stuff to gain miles and then loot stuff at the islands to grind bells. You can do that nonstop, it's a loop.
Get enough money to pay constructions and new house expansions and new furniture and items and cloth.
The game definitely offers the option to stay playing it all day with a lot to grind.
Chemist here, started in januarary. We’ve been busy. I think the morale in my group is getting slightly better because we produce raw materials for soaps and I feel very useful. Still stressful but I’m a neurotic.
>finances
lost a bit in the market, it'll come back
>livelihood
my small biz shipping food products is up 600%+, so I paid off all biz debt in less than 30 days and am going to be putting a nice pay increase in for myself soon since I took pay cuts for 2 years when things were tough and don't make more than my warehouse manager does at this point
>quality of life
Aside from not going to the gym for a month and not being able to get a nice steak dinner out on weekends, nothing really has changed for me, I don't do shit in public often and don't socialize much, so I'm fine with things like this for a while.
Nah man im working. Im a union tradey so im used to seasonal layoffs so this wouldnt really affect my psyche either
Ive been working from home everyday, which is overrated. I miss seeing work friends and going for coffees. Being home could be great but my wife is here all day since her job is on hiatus, so the vacuum cleaner is always on, bugging the shit out of me and when I have coffee breaks she's sitting there watching Ryan Secrest. All in, I feel generally healthier, eating good food and taking vitamins, no more restaurants, cut out booze and weed till this blows over. Still take walks and bike rides. The worst part about it has been mild cabin fever, lack of outside entertainment, paranoid looks on the sidewalk from corona doomers, and grocery shopping is a fucking pain in the ass due to social distancing rules in effect.
You fucking retard its not the UN or WHO - its the yanks and the chinese controlling us.
Fucking dumb cunt you can't see who the real enemy is
>implying the UN and the literally WHO aren't just mouth-pieces for the kike hegemony of US-China.
Still pretty solid, I guess we’ll see what this summer looks like.
Besides the tfw no gym and my lib gf going apeshit every time I go /out/, everything is normal. FeelsGood to be an essential Chad
Hey dumb cunt, you enjoy getting on your knees and complying with glownigger foot soldiers.
When I go down, I'm taking as many of these fucks with me as possible.
>work from home
>no commute, reclaimed an hour and a half in drive time every day
>can get up 10 minutes before shift starts and take a speed shower and work in bathroom, getting way more sleep now
>kicked caffeine addiction by just being too lazy and sleepy in the morning to bother making coffee
>make cheap, healthy meals at home instead of having to order out
>workload has dropped to almost nothing now that everyone has their VPN set up, I spend most of the day reading or shitposting
>almost zero stress
>tinder thots are attention-deprived and thirsty
>get to wear gas mask in public, nobody judges me, at most some people are scared but won't say anything
>favorite mom-and-pop restaurants are still open, delivery/pickup only
>can't go to bars, am saving tons of money by either drinking at home or just not drinking
>can still go camping in national forests
This is literally perfect. I'd be fine with it going on for years.
Less people out and about waiting to get analy probed
still have to go to work, generally stayed inside anyway
basically life is exactly the fuckin same
work in bathrobe*
but I have worked out of my bathroom as well a few times when I needed to take a monster of a morning shit, so it's still true
Working from home fucking sucks ass.
You're going to give yourself a pay raise?? Why the fuck? That's you on a run deciding it's okay to walk for a bit.
Short selling. You can't feasibly turn $1k into $150k doing that, though.
Family business is closed. We have some cash to stay months without a source of incoming but it will end someday.
Have worked from home with full pay since 2nd week of March. Will be doing so until likely end of April. After that who knows, possible hours reduction possible furlough. Very unlikely to lose job completely.
Hardly spending any money except on liquor and GrubHub, so when coronabux arrive I will be able to save it all.
Don't get to do my normal Saturday bar crawl but that goes to saving money too so it's a bummer but has a silver lining. Same with the Vegas trip i would have taken in March.
All in all as long as this doesn't go on for months I should be in a good place coming out of it.
>Laid off a bit more than 2 weeks ago when lockdown started
>All my bills are paid, but only have $130 left
>Own my house so no worries about rent
>Have food for a while
>Still fucking waiting on the unemployment office to pay me
>Just been sitting at home playing vidya since i can't really afford to do anything else
>Luckily i stocked up on ammo in january and have close to 2000 mixed rounds
>Could go plink at steel to help with the boredom, but don't want to waste ammo when prices are going through the roof
It's a tad boring and i'd rather be waging, but it isn't all bad. I could still use something cheap to occupy my time.
You fucking wish you got those returns. 1k into 150k is ludicrous.
>dentist
I feel bad for you guys through all this. Was thinking the other day about how my dental hygienist must be holding up with no income. Fuck knows when the kikes will allow you guys to open back up
Also FUCK Dr. Fauci
