Why Am I So Tired posted:

This is making it completely impossible to get through to my parents and my in-laws. In their minds Fauci / the CDC / the NYT are 100% reputable institutions and objective and lacking any agenda, and Twitter is just random people yelling at each other. That combined with Trump's feuding with the media / government institutions makes me come across as a Qanon'er for citing basic facts (my MIL thinks I'm a "vaccine shedder" conspiracy theorist because I said COVID is airborne and can hang in the air for hours). It's so infuriating and demoralizing. My dad is a lifelong leftist too, there's just no getting through.

yep, yep, yep. watching "it's just the flu", "can't let the cure be worse than the disease", "everyone deserves to be able to make their own individual choices", "i'll be fine if I catch it because <x>" migrate from the right wing onto almost everyone (by way of these institutions making it happen) has been incredibly draining.

i legit worry for the mental health of chise when this happens. she might have an external bluster, but internally if you were responsible for the deaths of your friends... that will haunt you to your grave and maybe drive you there too

IMHO she needs to back out now while she still can and just delete all the "its mild" tweets. people will blame and shame when it's clearly not the case. that will crush a psyche

she'd just either directly cite or allude to an "underlying condition" on the person that died and wash her and the community's hands of it. nothing will ever get through to these (mild) sociopaths.

probably, she's a doctor who travels between Beckley and White Sulphur Springs and who has a strong association with a local distiller who runs moonshine from VA into southern WV and KY.

Being in charge of an unimportant country has to be so much funner than being POTUS where you have to live with the responsibility to get woken up from a dead sleep at 3am to make the call in 30 seconds to launch on warning after sub-launched missiles were 90% certain to be detected or whatever, and where to target.

Hey covid thread, I'm going to get tested! Housemate got a pcr today because she felt slightly cruddy.
I'm going to get tested out of caution - I don't really have any symptoms, but I've got an inperson class thing scheduled for Friday and work wants me to get a test.

I asked for yall to mock me if I popped positive from my souper sreader event- I'll let you know how it goes!

What's this I've been hearing in the news about Covid being over?

Anyway I went to my local succnfuck and had a few people spit in my mouth to celebrate, I'm a normal not irrevocably broken human being that would rather die than give up hedonisms.

Get therapy guys!

Hey have you guys heard about this new wholesum family fun game called Russian Roulette? I'm getting all of my closest and dearest loved ones together and we're going to have a great time, you with your obvious debilitating depression I imagine will not be joining, maybe you need to counselor to help with "loaded revolver being chambered and fired at your brain" exposure therapy?

If you ever wonder what best practices are for covid just look at what the CCP is doing
