"NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE COVID ZONE IN PERSON! YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR MASK OFF EVERY TIME YOU TALK!"

They really are just trying to force people to get Covid, huh?

    I think gabe sucks personally but it is fucked to make someone take off their mask. He's got health problems.

      "Nuh uh, there's nothing that makes him individually more likely to get Covid compared to anyone else and it's haaaarmless so nobody should worry! Take off your mask so we can hear you different when you speak into the microphone." covid-cool

        "I love you all but I am concerned about you, so just be normal and kiss a stranger on New Years and stop being a shut-in so you stop embarrassing leftism!" grillman

          I don't think you normally kiss a stranger on New Year's.

          • UlyssesT [he/him]21•7 months ago

            According to the most normal leftist that started that thread last New Years, if you don't kiss a stranger, you're embarrassing leftism. grillman corona

              embarrassing leftism

              I loved the part where Marx said: from each according to their viral load.

              🧠genius extraordinaire.

                Leftism is about normalcy and not embarrassing your in-group. The more normal and not embarrassing the more leftist it is. grillman

                  The final form of being obsessed with optics.

                  Like, I get not acting irl the way we act on niche websites, BUT damn that sounds like it was a wild post.

                    BUT damn that sounds like it was a wild post.

                    The user that posted it, as far as I can recall, never showed up again, unless they were one of the mysterious accounts that woke up (some new, some with months of post history gaps before that) in the hours and days that followed after just to howl with rage and bully "shut-ins" that didn't like the message.

            Just tacking my load onto this post. In my bachor years, New Years was one of the only times I had an issue being single. Valentines, no big deal. Being in a room where everyone is suddenly getting action instead of you? That shit stung.

      At least he funds Linux, most cool thing he ever did
