I finally got harassed yesterday too. I'm in my fashionably ripped jeans, Dickies pocket tee for work, and leather jacket, obviously with my N95 on my face. I'm grabbing a few brewskis and some charcuterie for dinner tonight with my fiance. I'm walking along singing some Skynyrd to myself and this old lady comes up to me and starts cussing and yelling about how my mask makes her uncomfortable and that we don't have to wear them anymore. I respond with "Why does it make you uncomfortable, what do you think I'm going to do, rob the place? Steal your purse? Lady, I don't want your thirteen bucks and dollar store makeup, leave me alone." She then proceeded to get in my personal space, and that did it. I delivered a swift round kick to her breadbasket, then when she was doubled over in pain I went in and executed a flawless Stone Cold Stunner. She's out cold and yes, I did rifle through her purse and I took a few bucks just as an idiot tax. As I was leaving I caught the gaze of a masked-up security guard, who winked at me and I could see he had covered up the security camera with a bag of Kibbles N Bits. I felt pretty good about helping out my community that day and I looked good doing it.

I can't wait to find out that this was actually a serious post of something that actually happened

The spicy chicken sandwich was INSANE. Normally when I'm feeling adventurous I get the diablo sauce at Taco Bell, so I can handle heat. I was crying from this sandwich and chugged basically a whole Coke Zero to put out the fire lol. Five guys is too expensive and Wendy's chili is old beef

wendy's hot honey spicy chicken sandwich is the current chicken sandwich GOAT IMO

- reason retrovirus is sexually transmitted is it wants to get into the germ line. we are genetically separated from chimps due to HERV-K retrovirus. turns out they helped us evolutionarily. stimulated brain development. once brains evolved, the viruses went dormant. fancy new theory is that these dormant viruses come back alive for degenerative neuro diseases. What the gently caress that is way outside my pay grade ill try to post this later.

so if im reading this right, ancient retroviruses created humanity and are now spontaneously reviving themselves to frag the brains of modern humans

there was a Harvard study (can’t remember when, last few years) that sex shops, brothels drastically lowers crime rates and violence towards women in like a 20 mile radius of said locations, basically destroying the lovely feminist takes about that stuff being bad.

well, lovely thirdwavers tend to be fine with sex work and pornography because they're liberals who ignore the exploitation behind producing the pornography and sex toys. lovely secondwavers don't like pornography at all and consider all sex workers to be trafficked. the problem is labor exploitation is bad in all cases whether or not its doing sex work or making buttplugs in some dingy factory, but they're liberals so they don't see it and won't say it if they do. the GDR had to be destroyed because lovely abusive dudes with business majors couldn't just buy girlfriends but for everyone else the sex was great, after all.

yeah on the other side of this i have an urge to take a bat with me everywhere. not in hopes to actually use it but like. i dont want covid from some chud trying to grab my or my girlfriend's mask, and like, the vibes are off. ironically the vibes are off because there's bad vibes from people who think the bad vibes are coming from the masks when its actually coming from the plague.

genuinely weirded out that my family thinks I'm being paranoid now but that I was being too blase in summer 2020, when things were a lot less hosed around here

it could also be long covid neurodegeneracy but that isn't my first instinct, cuz i'm not a medicine person i'm a social sciences person so i go to anomie and vent theories and such

gf and i were just debating/discussing (note the lack of and) with each other how much of this literal zombie movie first act poo poo is directly from covid, and how much of it is people just losing their drat minds because the US empire is starting to critically fail and it's crackpinging them in ways unique to their particular socioeconomic status and ideology. obviously its a mixture of both, and while it's tempting to say it's mostly the latter, i have an inkling that in a few years we're going to have more long covid data and realize it's even more of the first than we thought.

Other women in the thread have said the same but I have definitely noticed dudes leering at me more than ever even though I'm 45 years old. Just cartoon wolves all over the place. I haven't been straight up sexually harassed in a while but I noticed the increased horny staring the very first time I went to the supermarket during the "lockdown" in March 2020. At first I thought maybe it was because the mask hides the less attractive half of my face, but that can't possibly account for all of it.

I don't understand what the hell is going on but I don't like it.

Had a few dudes try and be thirsty at home depot in the garden department, I don't know why it always happens there. If I'm at home depot there's a good chance I'm covered in questionable mud and smell bad

I don’t know what your point is but I’m with Hassan on this. I also have dated and am good friends with sex workers, and making this about what it usually is (a labor issue) over the sex part, is important with this conversations. I just find it interesting that access to that stuff does lower violence rates. of course there’s an argument that just means people are lovely because of entitlement to sex blah blah blah, but I think it’s a good reminder at the end of the day we’re just monkeys, and as a species really are ridiculous. this also makes me feel more compassionate towards some of the people who are anti-Covid poo poo. Our brains just weren’t quite ready to understand the severity of an issue like this, more or less.

At the very least it's not showing that it's actually being transcribed to DNA in human's livers so it's probably safe to ignore.

i just cant “go back to normal” lol.

ever. my worldview has been so irrevocably changed bc of covid. i will never see friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances etc. in the same light. i cant just go to a restaurant or a sports stadium or any other stupid american suck n gently caress and pretend a million americans didnt die for this stupid loving bullshit consumer lifestyle.

like its not even a fear of covid near as much as it is the realization of how broken and rotten to the core this country (and capitalism) are. it would be at least Some Thing if we learned anything, but we learned absolutely loving nothing.

im just so god drat mad all the time
