Wolf

A wolf is an animal that doesn't take what it doesn't need. Humans could learn a lot from a wolf, especially the ones taking 10 packs of toilet paper at a time during the coronavirus.

A wolf is a decent animal.

Puppet Democrat governor

A governor who's not really a Democrat or a Republican, someone there to get people to comply with the one he/she is a puppet for, since saying you're a Republican or Democrat is meaningless in the first place, and parties dont determine alliances.

The puppet democrat governor was in favor of anything the puppet master was in favor of.

Ben affleck

Bad acting, a guy who's funny on accident in his most dramatic roles. Payback or Paycheck was one of the funniest movies HBO didnt put on their comedy shows.

Ben Affleck has already tried drama movies for years and still wont answer his true calling, to be a comedian.

Guy- What are you a comedian?
Ben Affleck- No, I'm Ben Affleck. I'm not funny.
Guy- You are man, you really are, you just have to realize you are.

Unemployed

Most people who are now unemployed had jobs before the coronavirus shutdowns because they would choose a steady job over unemployment with benefits and not knowing when they'll be back at work. The same people who wanted businesses shut down for the virus are the ones trying to give the workers shit about unemployment benefits and getting new jobs and reopening. The fucked up thing is the same people are also wanting the newly unemployed people they want to get back to work now to freak out all over again in the fall if a second wave arrives and they lose the jobs they've had for about 3 or 4 months, when they want the businesses shut down again.

Most people who are unemployed dont want to keep being unemployed forever. If you've been unemployed before, you know it's not fun, it's not a vacation.

Suspicion

One of the best ways to clear your own name of suspicion is to start an investigation on another suspect, make it look like someone else is hiding something.

The investigation into the matter was mostly for show, a few people wanted to get the guy to do something to fuck it up for himself, and put the suspicion on himself.

Innocent

Never having done anything wrong in your life. Only animals are innocent in the true sense of the word. Innocent is used too often to describe people who are wrongly accused, jailed, or imprisoned, when the reality is innocent is a word that only applies to the animal kingdom. Not guilty of the charge a person is jailed or imprisoned for applies to the matter of someone getting jailed or imprisoned for something they did not do, not guilty of a charge is not the same as never having done anything wrong in your life. Someone who's been in jail or prison for something they didnt do is still human, and therefore has done some form of wrongdoing in their life, even if it's not what they were charged with or detained/imprisoned for.

No human is innocent in the way that an animal is, that doesn't mean every human is guilty of every charge they've been jailed or imprisoned for, there is such a thing as not being guilty of a charge, without being innocent of any and all wrongdoing in a person's life, though the justice system doesn't seem to allow for much gray area on the matter. Innocent is used too often to replace not guilty, when really there are differences. Not guilty is simply not guilty of what you're charged with. Not being guilty of a murder charge and being imprisoned for it anyway doesn't mean you didnt steal candy a few times before you turned 10, it just means you're not guilty of what you're charged with. The difference between that and innocence is an innocent being has never stolen candy or done anything wrong, which is why innocent only applies to animals.

Unemployment

Unemployment isnt a comfortable life, even for people who get benefits. Theres something essential about having a steady job, theres a reason most people would rather work than be unemployed with benefits for an extended time, and many would rather go to work than work from home. Having a job gives a lot of people a sense of being a part of something outside their family, or what's at home, it's not something that can be replaced. Most of the people who are unemployed and getting benefits aren't living that way because it's what they wanted to do since they were kids, they live that way because the business they worked for shut down.

He/she wouldn't choose unemployment as a way of life, but it was his/her current circumstances.
