Hey covid thread. Haven't posted here for a while as I'm taking a mental health break. Read a couple pages and it looks about what I figured it would.

What I'm asking all of you to do is to check in with yourself and if you need to, to do some self-care. Make something tasty, smoke a bowl, watch a movie, read a book, whatever it takes. It's important to be basically informed but it's also important not to freak yourself out.

I myself have been writing my cyberpunk web novel here on the forums, playing vidjas on the Switch, enjoying the occasional edible, trying to cook and spending time with my girlfriend as we try to keep each other sane and healthy.

I know that poo poo is bad, but you do occasionally have to pull away from lmaoing into the abyss and do things that make you happy, or at least distracted.

i will never log off.

whos gonna be the first to find someone being like "well yeah, but it includes weekend backlogs so it's artificially high" as if every single monday for the entire two year pandemic hasn't always included weekend backlogs. if anything this is the first "normal" monday after the holidays and it is STILL the highest ever and over a million new cases lmao

my costco still has a mask mandate :smug:

actually the whole city does, also nearly universal mask adherence. still hasn't stopped us from having record numbers of infections because bars and restaurants and schools are all open and we get 30,000 mouthbreathing mainland tourists every day

My county has a mask mandate and vaccine mandate for dining in. Hasn’t stopped chuds from going mask free in stores acting smug about it or idiots wearing face shields.

There’s zero enforcement because no one wants to deal with it and when you confront them they just go crazy or talk about god.

yeah the few occasions where i see someone maskless their eyes are always darting around and they look all antsy and are clearly just itching for someone to come up and say that they need to put on a mask. they have a whole pre-rehearsed speech in their head and probably a bunch of hysterics they can devolve into if the speech doesn't work. no one wants to deal with that
