Covid broke my brain.

Covid made me realize there's a 6th stage of grief. Call it the "lol/lmao" stage. It's when you've been at acceptance for a while, but you're surrounded by people still in denial.

e: still haven't got it. N95s save lives

Is that where "Whatever, I'll just sit back and watch the world burn just to prove I was right this whole time" fits in? Because I've been like that with covid and climate change for a while now.

No one's going to listen anyway, so might as well :munch:

Covid made me realize society hated disabled/sick people.

Samesies. Also that our public health institutions really only exist to protect capital and themselves. E.g. the WHO refusal to acknowledge airborne transmission, the FDA punishing the Seattle Flu Study for cross-checkkng their samples for covid, the CDC halving the isolation period when the CEO of Delta asked them too, etc...

"I'll never work again, please do not contact me again".

This is exactly what I'll do when I quit or retire or whatever so either this dude's totally healthy or I'm as broken as he is.

i know they exist on twitter or bluesky or whatever but i have never encountered that in real life. and i live in like one of the most stereotypically politically progressive areas of the country

Same thing happens to vegans. It's like a weird simulacra or something where the intent caricature becomes more real than reality.

i've heard multiple people say they were able to lose weight because food stopped tasting good, silver lining i guess?

A married couple I know no longer eat at restaurants because the wife lost her sense of taste. It's been great for their budget!

A lot of Americans would rather half the world (or more) die from climate change than give up eating meat.
