Hope you enjoy your agonizing death from the upcoming super-covid! :)

We're in this for the long haul, and the only way this flight's gonna end is in a 600 mile an hour vertical nosedive straight into the ground, but the libs are making a dash for the doors like they just heard the seatbelt sign go off after arriving at the gate.

Edit: I am so sorry. I did not know that complaining about everyone abandoning masks because "COVID is over" would incite such backlash. Fuck me I guess. This was all a personal attack and not in any way a criticism of a broader trend. I'm such a doomer. Anyway, everything is fine

    What the fuck do you expect people to do? Like seriously, my wearing a mask means jack shit when I'm in a grocery store with 100 people not wearing masks. For a group of people that are supposed to understand systemic issues people on this site really act as if the <15k people here are going to make any meaningful difference in COVID at all.

    I still wear a mask btw, so everyone can fuck off with the inevitable comments about that. I just don't particularly like feeling crippling anxiety from a website that's supposed to be fun and friendly.

      Sorry, I shouldn't have complained about the wide scale abandoning of masks.

        Right since we're doing the smug bullshit, sorry for complaining about your individualist critique of a systemic issue.

          How was it individualist? It's about people as a whole. I never said one random dude wearing a mask would change everything.

            Sorry, I got a little heated there. Like I said, these posts just give me heartburn because I know there's nothing I can really do and shouting into the void only seems to serve to make me feel worse.

            I think I may have misread, and that's on me, but IMO it would be more productive to specifically focus on the loosening of restrictions rather than people's reaction to said loosening. It just seems like you'll sometimes get these reactions from people like myself or a few others in this thread where they think it's THEM personally that is being attacked, even if you have no intention of it coming off that way.

            I don't particularly want to tone police though, and I definitely need to work on sometimes coming in way too hot with my immediate reaction instead of taking a step back and thinking about what else could be meant by something. Sorta a left over :LIB: tendency that I've been working on.
