If you think the response to Covid19 in 2020 was too harsh, or in any way an overreaction I hate to break it to you but it was actually far too lenient and not even close to what was needed.
North American self entitlement ensured that stopping covid was an impossibility, and it continues to make sure that Covid will continue destroying millions of lives today.
If you didn’t agree with the measures that were taken, thank the people who implemented them back in 2020/2021 for not going all in like they should have.
It's very eye opening to learn that most people do not actually care whether you live or die if it involves inconveniencing them
Their priority is their own experience at the expense of your life because it doesn't affect them
I used to naively think otherwise
@aparachick About to start my 7th school year as the solitary member of the faculty still masking. Exhausted, but I persevere for my own health and the health of my students.
So many people should be wearing respirators in the wild fire smoke, but nobody is because of how badly covid anti-mask narratives scrambles their brains
@j0ssyoursalad Yeah I just dropped $80 on 10 Flowflex tests. Not so accessible for many folks, and I don’t know many places offering tests for free these days. I wish I did!
The people who are in favor of year-round Daylight Saving Time don’t actually want year-round DST. They just want more sunshine in the winter, period. Sorry, kids. Until we can adjust the axial tilt of the Earth, that’s not happening.
Can someone please tell restaurants that even the shittiest, blurriest picture of their food is 100000000000x more appetizing than AI slop. We can all tell it’s AI, it looks disgusting, and it communicates a deep insecurity.
Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
