One of my siblings is going to school once a week, I think lockdowns definitely fried some brains.

      Same. The realization that the society I live in is run by a literal death cult and they will do nothing to protect people’s lives. I am a fundamentally different person now than I was in February 2020 and that is the main reason.

      For me it was the fact that what precautions they did take seemed to only be the most obnoxious, least effective versions, but then we were still allowed in the break rooms like normal, completely defeating the purpose of any of the previous measures.

      And then people would get mad at me when I didn't take it seriously. How can I? Nothing is being done! All things that need to be done to contain it aren't happening and aren't being enforced. To think that you, individually, can stop COVID spread when every factory in the nation is still operating full-bore and the worst delivery and food-service jobs are still running around is a fucking joke.

      We made vanity food items and we were still considered essential.

      The only people I know that got any time off for this stuff pretty much so jack-all all day anyways.
