Of all the things you could critique DSA on, this is the hill you're going to die on? agony-consuming

DSA deciding to do a mask mandate at this event is unequivocally good and based. Shut the fuck up, you fucking dipshits.

Imagine being this much of a fucking goddamn crybaby about masking. Eat shit, you ableist fucks.

One of the biggest lessons this pandemic has taught me is the astounding number of people for whom leftism is really just performative, and that when push comes to shove, these people will make the biggest fucking stink about having to do something even mildly inconvenient for even a single fucking event or context and show themselves for who they really are.

    My partner was fucking healthy before her first and only COVID infection. Also if one includes those "at risk" (old, chronically ill, cancer surviving, diabetic, too young to vaccinate, etc), it's like 50% of the human population.

      I'm pretty sure "at risk" included pretty much all mental health disorders too. I remember reading articles listing those at risk around the time the vaccines came out (and thus around the time of "take your masks off its over" round 1).

        Yeah depression and stress both impair your immune system, and given that everyone is depressed and stressed now... 🤮

        Why would a mental health disorder make somebody more at risk for Covid? i don’t really get it

          Cortisol in the blood, among other things. Descartes was full of shit; the brain and body are connected in an interwoven way.

          Stress factors affect pretty much everything negatively, from weight gain, to schizophrenia, to immune response. So on and so on.
