So I've had a pretty rough time through the shutdown. I'm a pretty social guy, and I need human interaction to stay sane. Not only did the shutdown really stifle me, but during quarantine I lost both my girlfriend and my best friend in the span of a few weeks (for mostly unrelated reasons). I was hoping with college starting I would be able to meet new people, but the social distancing crap has made it really difficult. It's frustrating because the pro-shutdown crowd seem totally oblivious to the fact that their policies are hurting people. Heck, I knew a guy who killed himself, and I don't know the specifics, but I do know he was also a social guy and this was also really weighing down on him too.

Not to be a total downer of course. Throughout you guys have been a lot of fun and have taught me to laugh at all the stupidity life sends my may. I just love the positivity and high energy of this site. I know it's silly seeing as none of us will likely ever meet in person, but I just wanted to let y'all (and the devs of course) know how awesome this site really is.

Are you in a position to take care of a pet? It really helps to have any company when you can't be with your friends. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way, deanieboi. It looks like the tide is turning on the rioting and I think Trump is about to pull the plandemic plug in the next week or two so stay strong. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
