Can I still be in the secure clique if I have an envomask? It seemed like a good idea at the time... (like, September 2020 :lmao:)

gf and i still basically only use envo masks.

i have a full face honeywell but it's kind of a hassle, so i usually grab the envo.

i may upgrade to a 3M half mask soon though.

wait lmao what is this, high school children commit suicide at dramatically lower rates during the summer months? when they're not in school? this is just a normal seasonal variation thing from before the pandemic? holy poo poo seems like it should be a bigger issue that high schools are basically suicide factories? :lmao:

The fact that for decades children have been processed through education factories that prepare them for student loan debt by wasting a large part of their lives in miserable environments causes them to commit suicide at high rates.....cmon man? What do you want here? Don't vote for me then.

I feel ya, similar boat. lucky enough it looks like all this poo poo is gonna blow up and fall apart forever so all that stuff doesn't even matter any more

I'll be honest, the pandemic was a HUGE relief to me with regards to my music career petering out like that. Like, it's the perfect excuse. I mean, the truth is, I was done. I didn't like that lifestyle, or the profession, as much as I love music, and teaching, and clarinet. It wasn't for me, and I was desperate to get out of it. I hated it. Covid came along right after I gave up on my dissertation, and made it so everyone's lives were hosed up anyway. It turned out, if I had managed it, if I had rallied myself and found a way to make it work and done everything I could, moved heaven and earth to move forward in my career, it all would have been for nothing. It would have been shot down right as it lifted off. I don't think I could have survived a blow like that, mentally, I really don't.

I actually love my job right now and am making more money than I ever did playing clarinet so, thanks covid I guess, for all you've done for me. lol

Actually could use some advice for the best COVID bunker living options. How have people found minimizing exposure in a townhouse situation vs semi or fully detached house?

Go for building a prefab passive net zero home or whatever it's called, that you can heat/cool with little or no energy drawn from the utilities that we won't have soon.

Stereotype posted:

it’s legitimately pretty funny that the most common stated reason for forcing kids back into school, that it harms their mental well-being, is entirely wrong and in fact literally exactly backwards.

And could be intuited by anyone who actually went to school, or talks to kids who are currently in school. The same way you can intuit that schools do not, in fact, have a magical forcefield that stops germs from spreading.
