She can stay home forever. Nobody cares.

She's an idiot, and she's not alone.

Joyous times! My daughter is getting married this weekend. Two beautiful, unvaccinated, non-woke young adults, unafraid of the challenges ahead. Not all is bleak. Don't let these cowards steal our joy and the sheer wonderfulness of life.

Imagine the levels of narcissism, obliviousness and ignorance required to say such a thing, when millions of people's lives and businesses were destroyed in the formerly free world, not to mention the catastrophic effects on poorer nations.

These people are beyond vile, and beyond depraved.

I've never held most of boobus Americanus in very high regard, but the last three years have engendered a deep-seated disgust of these moronic barbarian covidians that I would not have imagined possible.

Just despicable.

Indeed. For a lot of people The Plague Era permitted indulgence of one's worst habits. I was not immune.

But at least I recognized they were my worst habits.

I have a job where I only get set periods if leave. These leave periods are all in line with the uk school holidays. I’ve never had longer the 3 weeks off at once in 12 years.

In 2019 I was home a grand total of 40 days out of 365. When the covid lockdowns first happened I loved it. I got 4 months to be with my wife, I learned to bake (my wife told me I was making her put on weight lol), caught up on shows and films that I had missed. Books I hadn’t read. Video games I had yet to complete.

Do I miss those 4 months? Yes. Would I do it again knowing what I know now.? Hell no.

Lobster syndrome. Multiple lobsters in a pot will pull back the other lobsters that try to escape.

“The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society.”

—Erich Fromm, “The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness”

Where’s Uncle Rico when you need him? “Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.”

Of course, they have lockdown nostalgia. Lockdown had a great marketing team. Remember the Italians singing on their balconies and the videos showing how clear the skies were with very few people driving. People whose lives were crazy busy suddenly had time to hang out as a family and enjoy the more than ample free time. And the pinnacle of it all, being declared a hero for the selfless act of staying home and doing nothing.

Good for her. Perhaps staying home is perfect for her.

I am not alone in hoping she stays home inside, ALONE, leaving other people free to think she is nutty, forever.

Yeah it was great if you sat around waiting for door dash and it didn’t impact your life you assface. I sent my “loving and compassionate” mom an article from the Guardian proving that millions of children would starve to death from the lockdowns. Her response “but that’s just the 3rd world”. I guess this pinhead feels the same.

Lockdown nostalgia?

What?

Fuck off.

On Twitter, there are groups of people who long for the salad days of masking. Now they are alone in their enlightened empathy for others. They even feel at times they are "shamed" or feel "ostracized" as they now continue not only to mask, but also to ask for interior building filtration. I wonder how that feels.
