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

          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

              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.

                    Some people stockpile rockets to free their home, that loser stockpiled usernames to fire at an already vulnerable group.

                    What a dick.

                      You're welcome; it kind of sucked to live it. Some long time users outright quit over it after being bullied by mysterious new/lurker accounts and I still miss them.

                        That’s the sad thing about small forums like this, sometimes it’s hard to refind people (esp. if good opsec).

                        I hope they refind the place and see your comment.

                          It gave me some hope when I saw some people second their disgust for that New Years thread while stating that they were there, almost stayed entirely away, and were on new accounts. I didn't pry, but I'm glad some anonymous people came back that seemed pretty cool.

          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.
