EC QOTD

Submitted by EC

A viral pandemic has arrived to your country which is predicted to kill fifteen percent of the population – approximately 50 million people, how do you react?

a. Get right with your Savior of choice.

b. Send goodbye letters to all your friends. When you realize that is two people, send them to friends of friends and then post inexplicably dreary comments on TBP.

c. Tweet about the acquittal and rub noses of liberal acquaintances in the ugly truth that they wasted months on impeachment instead of addressing the plague festering in China.

d. Join an online debate about the possibility of there being an actual real-life hell and realize you are already in it.

e. Argue that the holocaust cost more lives than the current pandemic and then engage in a debate about the holocaust hoax.

f. Search online for evacuation centers reserved for ‘whites only’ and quickly tribe up with a few blacks or Mexicans, just in case.

g. Explain to everyone who knows you read TBP that you never wished for a pandemic or a plague, just a well-place meteor the size of Congress.

h. Stock up on weapons and survival supplies and invite your own version of Ruby Ridge.

i. Other (please provide brief, or not, response.)

The point of my qotd was that I wanted to ask people how they would spend their last days if they knew they only had 30 days left on this plane?
How would they make them count?

am hoping one of the smart folks here not brainwashed by the flatearth psyops picks up on the fact flatearth is an ongoing jewish conspiracy

One of the two managers of the Israeli flat earth Facebook group is a 37-year-old musician named Idan (not his real name). The small and closed Facebook group was not designed to convince believers. In effect it’s the headquarters of those who spread the word. Before entering the page you have to answer three questions that test your adherence to the theory. I apparently failed with the question: “The world is ___ ,” when I answered “nice,” and I was not permitted to enter the group.

I arrived at the subject via YouTube, from films that jumped out at me,” says Idan. “I’ve been researching the subject for two years. It was hard at the time to seek and find the main things. Since then there are large quantities of information and studies from all the fields.”

Why is the Israeli Facebook page so closed?

“It’s a group for people who describe themselves as ‘flatters.’ It’s not a group for arguments, there’s no entry for trolls or people who come to make you angry, but it’s for people who have internalized the subject and share information to advance it. At first we admitted everyone, but then people asked stupid questions and made more of a mess than they brought any benefit.

I would simply tell them; “Not one person in America has died from the Coronavirus. But, TEN THOUSAND will die from the flu just this year alone! Why don’t you worry about THAT instead??”

You have no idea how much that song (Seasons in the Sun) impacted me. I was stationed in Greece at the time. I was deeply in love with Cindy — a girl I met three years earlier while working at Sears. We planned to marry. Buuuuut …. while in Greece, she sent me a 35 page ‘Dear John’ letter. It was the most devastating thing to have happened to me (up to that point in time). I would hear that song and cry like a baby.

If I had 30 days to live? I’d hunt down Cindy and kick her in the fuck.

I. Take some precautions (I’ve noticed Menards has run out of dust masks), but overall, chill with family and friends. It seems that if you get the virus, its a 75% chance it will just be a mild to moderate flu and if your in the 25% percentile, hunker down and pray for your health to be restored. If you live life realistically, you should already know you are not immortal and live each day you are given as a blessing; because, that’s what it is.

A love song to all the Boomers from Gen X:

Whatever, Degenerate X

Gen X has to be the most invisible do nothing generation in the history of generational stereotyping.

Don’t blame the boomers, it was Gen X that sat by and let the world crumble

Generation X were too busy having fun to care about the mess baby boomers were making. The general election is our chance to finally stand up

Close
Don’t blame the boomers, it was gen X that sat by and let the world crumble

Generation X were too busy having fun to care about the mess baby boomers were making. The general election is our chance to finally stand up

It’s an internet meme, a T-shirt, it was even used by New Zealand’s millennial Green Party MP Chlöe Swarbrick to silence a heckler amid a powerful speech demanding action on the climate crisis.

The slogan “OK Boomer” has come to symbolise the frustration and anger at the behaviour of baby boomer leaders felt by millennial and generation Z voters – the people who are going to be left to clean up the ecological mess some of their grandparents still refuse to admit is being made. That’s not to mention the foul politics being stirred up by the likes of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson.

Having for years been (unfairly) mocked and derided as spoiled and entitled snowflakes, you can hardly blame them for snapping and responding in kind.

But what about generation X, those of us born between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s? We’ve mostly been sitting it out, trying not to get caught in the crossfire and hoping that it doesn’t explode over Christmas dinner.

I remember sitting opposite a fellow gen X-er lamenting the dismal state of politics over lunch. “We let it happen though, didn’t we?” he said. “We didn’t get involved. Perhaps we should have. But we were too busy having fun.”

He had a point.

We sat in fields and listened to bands, or we found our way to warehouses and raved, we took a lot of drugs and talked dreamily about the second summer of love.

While this was going on, we cheerfully ignored the finger wagging and the tabloids’ outrage and we flipped them off when they called us a bunch of screw-ups. They’d have told us we were snowflakes if the insult was around back then.

Yes, yes, I know I’m making generalisations and speaking in broad brushstrokes. It is always the danger with these generational pieces.

There will be a funeral pyre
And Maybe a Livestream of the fire.
Friends, guests gather round

Throwing on another cord
Turning to ash my bones
Watching smoke rise higher.

This time of year
we don’t need one… but

it would have to be a big fire..
somewhere between 6 and 8 cords
wood and brush with me on top…
a pile as broad as it was 15 feet high
with me soaking in a simple pine box
20 litres of diesel would be about right
Family and Friends gathering at the pyre
Then set it all to light at stroke of midnight.
The flames would then shoot into the sky..
using a Nikon P1000 easily seen
from all the way on Prince Edward Isle
A final statement and a glorious sight..
My Gift annnd you’re welcome
Live Stream it and a final twitter ban an aside
With tons and tonnes of life giving Carbon Dioxide
All sent onto the atmosplain if Saint Farmer is right,
pissing off Greta, Al Gore and all climate alarmists..

Yep it would end with everything alright

I tease my friends when we get on the topic of what we want for our earthly remains. Most want cremation, some want to be buried and me? Well, I go between being cremated and having my ashes dumped from the Goodyear blimp onto a superbowl crowd or else a viking flaming boat on the lake scenario. Best my friends would do for me was an aluminum bass boat with a tiny trolling motor, my tender corpus and a huge pile of cedar and busted up pallets while they stood on shore drinking beer and singing….

The Flat Earth Psyop

Additionally, many of us do have special knowledge. By the time I got out of high school, I already knew (from independent study) about the following evidence that contradicts the flat earthers: the tides, gravity, redshifts, spectrometry, refraction, reflection, relativity, galaxies, nebulae, telescopes, super novae, evolution, radioactive dating, fossils, Foucault pendulums, water circling a drain, earth’s magnetic field from a spinning iron core, the tilt of the earth’s axis, the coriolis effect, phases of the moon, the earth’s shadow on the moon, round planets having round moons, pictures and video of earth from space, circumnavigation of the globe, hundreds of kinds of satellites and space probes. The diameter of the earth was measured a couple thousand years ago by Archimedes. Since before Columbus, sailors knew the earth was round because ships would appear and disappear over the horizon a few inches at a time because the surface of the ocean is round. Rockets departing at the equator are already moving faster than from points further from the equator. I also learned enough to do the math to disprove some specific claims by flat earthers, such as the claim that it should be impossible to see Chicago across the great lakes.

Nevertheless, a scientific mind is always open to new evidence from sources that have not already proven themselves to be untrustworthy, and thus if a new source has new evidence, then I will hear it.

I would listen to every song this guy wrote and sang.

Baby, I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting night and day
I didn’t see the time
Yeah I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Verse 2]
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I’m up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I don’t believe you’d like it
You wouldn’t like it here
There ain’t no entertainment
And the judgements are severe
The Maestro says it’s Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you’re waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Interlude]
Waiting for the miracle
There’s nothing left to do
I haven’t been this happy
Since the end of World War II

[Chorus]
Nothing left to do
When you know that you’ve been taken
Nothing left to do
When you’re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you’ve got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come

[Verse 4]
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb
And you were waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Verse 5]
Ah baby, let’s get married
We’ve been alone too long
Let’s be alone together
Let’s see if we’re that strong
Yeah let’s do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we’re waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Chorus]
Nothing left to do
When you know you’ve been taken
Nothing left to do
When you’re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you’ve got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come

[Verse 7]
When you’ve fallen on the highway
And you’re lying in the rain
And they ask you how you’re doing
Of course you’ll say you can’t complain —
If you’re squeezed for information
That’s when you’ve got to play it dumb:
You just say you’re out there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Anonymous was me with the Leonard Cohen song.

I would seize a) with all my heart and soul and then, I would start praying for the miracle to come.

And since we already moved here in our own “low key” version of h), the only thing left for me to do would be to act as if every day were my last day on earth.

And every day I would practice the piano accompaniment so that I can accompany Karen singing again.

That’s my family cemetery… I took Granny Fanny a wreath for New Years. If I end up right there behind her, I’ll be just fine for all eternity.

b. I will be here posting dreary shit daily, so you will actually celebrate when I shut the hell up.

c. I don’t Tweet but I’d certainly hope to see Nancy Pelosi dead of the virus before me.

d. see a., which I did immediately, again. Just in case the first redemption expired. (sarc)

e. seriously? people actually believe there were not any jews killed because they were jews?

f. why do you think I’ve been schmoozing with you all these years, beaner? If we have to retreat to Texas, we are gonna need someone to vouch for us with the Native and Original Texans. (I’m tribed up and so are you, Me Hoe! I am a DAR and I can track my roots back to some real snooty snoots. I got one of them Crests in my family tree, but we preferred unfluoridated toothpaste.)

g. Everyone who knows I read TBP is a lot of people around here who think, like my husband, that most of you are nuts. And, by association? Me too.

But, my husband gets me and he had his chance to get rid of me already. And didn’t. So, my Nick thinks it is sad Stucky lost the love of his life too.

Because that one day last year when I told him to just hand me the bottle of 60 Norcos and leave the house for a while and he said no in spite of both of us being so angry at one another and both being so sick of my being sick we both said we wished I was dead but he didn’t mean it.

I don’t know if I did. But, I’m committed to making him think I was worth salvaging as long as I can. Even if it is just another 29 days.

15% isn’t so bad. That’s pretty good odds. And, assuming you’re the lucky 85% remainder, you can look forward to a much easier commute to work after it’s over. If I still lived in DC-Deal! In DC, I would be praaaaaying for a 15% death rate. Traffic would be so much better with 15% absent. It wouldn’t take an hour to go 10 miles anymore.

Don’t count your chickens before they croak.
My baseline estimate is to be ready for a 3 month+ lockdown. That’s a reasonable minimum. My goal would be to stay on lockdown for at least two weeks after the last reported case. I’m prepared for that, at a minimum, and I figure we could stay on lockdown for longer, if necessary. I got a good neighbor I trust who will work with me. I got some other good people nearby I get along with. I even stock some extra shit, just in case someone I know needs a hand. I live in a low population agricultural area that is a food exporter. We grow a lot of staples. The nearest major city is several hours away. 100% of our power needs are generated here from hydropower. We have %<10 minority population. Not too shabby. I think we are set to do quite well.
And if things somehow get worse than that, we're ready to move further out, if necessary. It wouldn't be fun, but we could displace to other locations, if necessary. I keep emergency boxes for that situation. Grab the boxes and off you go.

I would say I was shocked but I’m not.

He used the term “bang” as well. Que Sera Sera.

He used to tell that story after a few beers during a game of pool. He was probably in his 50s then… I was 20-something. A lot of those rough-necks I hung around with were pretty rough, but I didn’t realize it.

They all looked and acted like every farm boy I’d ever met and most of them treated me like a kid sister.

I go with (g). Brilliant suggestion.
Other than that, except spending as much time with family as possible, not much different. Though I would quit working my job. Why bother if I won’t be here?
However, I would probably be more hopeful that something would change the 30-day outcome. If not, I plan to meet God. I have so many questions for him anyway.
