you could multiply the number of students and teachers dying by 10 and we’d still keep schools open. theyre changing quarantine guidelines to be essentially worthless or getting rid of quarantine altogether.

Even in my 20's I preferred women who were over 30, because they (for the most part) had their poo poo together.

the only reason I would still date below 30 is a lot of woman over 30 are in the (i must have a kid in two years) vibe. but this is also the area I live which is lovely for dating anyways. I’m not even fully opposed to having children, I would just like at least four years with a partner before I do.

but in terms of who I find the most attractive? usually it’s over 30.

I did my final college presentation in 2015 on the growth of Right Wing Nationalism in the US and Europe and how I thought there were a lot of disturbing trends and no one seemed to buy into it. I don't even think that was that much of a hot take at the time.

I like to catastrophize and all but why do these people keep going 'what are we supposed to do this forever???' No! We only needed to do it for 6-8 weeks but we couldn't manage that so now it's going to be years. But 2, 3, even 5 years isn't forever. We just need to wear masks and not have huge in person events until case counts are low. We were almost there in May but the CDC jumped the gun by a few months. If they waited until Labor Day to drop the mask mandate instead of Memorial Day, we probably could have beaten this. It's only going to be 'forever' because these assholes are MAKING it be forever.

We could be at zero cases from memorial day to labor day every year but once people got back from overseas vacations and business trips it would spread in schools and bars just like it always has. A worldwide pandemic cannot be beaten with open borders

Being in my 30s has been pretty cool since I've had a decent job, am in better shape than my 20s, and also dating people who are in their 30s usually carries way less bullshit than dating people in their 20s

Any chance of 'coexisting' with COVID would require like 80+% vaxx rates and use of properly fitting masks for indoor gatherings. Maybe a willingness to 'lock down' for a couple weeks if cases get beyond a certain threshold. But no one in this country is going to go for that. So we say "OPEN BIDEN"

kind of amazed society didn’t collapse after WW1 leading into the Spanish Flu

A lot of societies did.

Germany had a prolonged and bloody civil war that led to a weak liberal government etc
France had a period of prolonged political upheaval and probably would have had a civil war if the had lost WW1
UK had serious economic issues, made decisions that started the Great Depression, and started trying to deal with their neuroses about their lost empire
Russia well, everyone knows
Austria-Hungary collapsed and out of the ashes grew a bunch of tiny states, many of whom were existing for the first time.

The only countries that entered the 1920's well off were the US and Japan.

I admit that I am moderately surprised that we've failed to even effectively message getting masks back on as we rocket back to the peak of another wave. If you went to a store you'd think things were still where they were in late June.

Yeah, those posts are really something else.

Then again, it's amazing how often people unironically post some variation of "I have nothing to live for if any restrictions are in place, but if you're okay with wearing a mask and avoiding crowds then you must be mentally ill"

I can definitely understand that one. I know when I was in my early 20's I was pretty opposed to women who already had children. Now that I'm 40, and a few years ago, I don't mind at all, because their kids are usually about the right age that babysitters don't need to get involved.

Over 1% of my county has a confirmed, active case of COVID right now. Test positivity rates are above 15% so it's safe to assume that the real number is at least 2 or 3 times that amount. But whenever I get curbside for groceries or target or whatever maybe 10% of people are wearing masks as they walk in, if even that. lol, just lol.

The May 13th CDC guidance was really the end of any sort of mitigation efforts in this country ever again lol.

If you're an offline normie you don't even hear about this poo poo outside of a seven minute blurb on the nightly news that no one watches anymore.

Sheetz made masking mandatory again here and put masks at the entrance to every store, free for the taking, and over half the customers at the stores I've been to are just ignoring them.

We are never getting any sort of national pandemic control measures in place ever again.

I like how he thinks the general public is in tune with these rando epidemiologists’ eating habits and not the general sense of dread and concern over their families getting this horrible disease. Which is not hard to have when you see case counts, hospitals filling up, deaths, and school closures/quarantined every day.

gently caress Nate, he doesn’t have kids or a family or anyone who’s concerned about his health so that’s why he’s a piece of poo poo.
