This site is wearing me down this past week.

edit: I am more worn down. Shouldn't have posted this thread. Feeling awful about my future.

    I think younger people in general are "over it". From what I've seen in communities I used to be part of, especially when there is eating, drinking, music, dancing involved. I think once people get past the "oh I went to a huge music festival and didn't immediately die, I guess this is okay", then all bets are off it seems.

      I do sorta feel for young people. In my teens and twenties, I took enough drugs and went to enough clubs to kill a large family. Now that I'm in my early 40s, I'm just over all that stuff.

      My opinion is: you're welcome (albeit not advised) to go to a music festival, just please mask when you're in front of me as I didn't ask for the risk.

        This is where I’m at. I do really stupid shit sometimes like going to clubs and bars without a mask in sight. But when I’m in the grocery store I wear my fucking mask because the people in the store didn’t sign up to go to a club, and it’s one extra chance to catch it I can cut out.

          Honestly, thank you sincerely. This is exactly how I'd like people to act, and it's better than 99% of people now.

            Also wearing it in places like the grocery store is so easy. All day at work is annoying. At a club is impossible. But the well air conditioned grocery store where I’ll only be for like 15 minutes? Easy.

              Generations of cybergoths did not collapse on the dance floor so you could dishonor their memory like this.

        Yeah I guess, but when I see pictures of people I used to run with in a mosh pit in the middle of winter it kind of sucks. It's also silly to see the few people wearing masks in said mosh pit.
