Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

Hey well we've just decided to close down our schools. I mean, today. And England only after Wales and Scotland already said they couldn't afford to keep the schools open any more.

Our closure is "until further notice", so no idea on when it's going to be over.

Our species' epitaph should be "We should let it work its way through the population" or maybe "It's a hoax."

This also works:

I escaped Chicago, and am now in middle of nowhere Michigan. My body is trying to murder me (digestive, I am not COVID-devoured) and my brain is slow and the technology is failing, but there will be phone calls and training soon. Works out.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

Starting Monday, we have to have our temperature scanned before we can  come in to work. Anything 99+ gets sent home on PTO.

Sooo...  Hamish has been once again put in FB jail. Gonna be a 30 day sit down apparently. I hear they didn't even have a post in the field for why they did it. Just letting you all know.


Sounds like some straight up bullshit. I had a weird experience last night. My brother was playing video games with some friends over the internet. He started talking about some deep conspiracy shit I don't care to repeat here. Suddenly a voice comes on his phone, like a computerized sounding voice. It called out our entire address. Even the other folks playing heard it over the mic. Very creepy feeling.

You know, I've gotten a lot less "direct" as I get older.

That being said, if I ever meet a facebook mod, they're gonna have a really bad time.

I don't blame you. I've got a certain sense of vengeance myself. I don't even dress it up as justice. Fuck an eye for an eye. I'm more like the old if they send one of ours to the hospital we send six to the morgue. If it's time, might as well be overkill.

I try very hard to be a "decent" person, but I have a feeling that a season for doing very bad things and setting scores will soon be upon us as folks realize in ever greater numbers that they almost literally have nothing left to lose. Part of me feels dread, part of me is practically salivating in anticipation.

Mostly I just need more sleep than I've been getting.

Since FB sent all their mod staff home, I wonder if this was just auto-flagged and banned?

It might explain both there being no reason (the bot can't select one) and why you can't appeal (there's no-one to read them). I'm not defending FB in any way, just trying to figure out why this time is different.

I figure that's probably the case, given the other day, but fuck 'em anyway.
