Other than people getting sick and dying, which was awful, I really enjoyed the COVID-19 lock down. Admitting that always makes me feel like a terrible person, but it is true.
Covid hit just around the time where people around me (and myself, obviously) hit 30, got kids and settled down.
That means, covid turned into a “getting old” speed run for me. Before covid, there was something going on each weekend, a party here, a gathering of friends there, it was almost always at least something going on. When the lock down was unlocked up for real in 2022, most people had partners, didn’t want to go out anymore or do anything at all, some kids were on their way or just arrived.
It felt like a development of 5-10 years was compressed into one or two years.
You’re living that research paper that showed COVID-19 ages the brain 7 years. Srsly.
On the negative side, trying to get people our after is rough. The gf still has problems understanding that yes, you can take both kids with you to run errands, shop, etc.
Staying home all day dicking around on Facebook while I do all the shopping and a good chunk of the cooking, dishes, and child rearing heh after I get home is always like dude, go outside lol.
I was finally able to have a long rest.
Without any impending deadlines or pressure it took me two weeks before i had the energy to work on a project.
I feel like it’s Starwars time where everything is referred before or after Yavin or in relation to the old and new republic. Right now we are entering Pandemic+5 or like 5COVID or something.
We’re not in 2025 CE (Common Era), we’re in 5 CE (COVID Era)
12024 Human Era.
Thank you Kurzgesagt calendars.
Forget about 2025. In less than two weeks we’ll know if sanity wins or if trump gets to turn the usa into a banana republic/christofacist hellhole. I’m so stressed out.
Me too, and I don’t even live in the US. He’s bad fucking news. Even if he doesn’t get in, there is a non zero chance Don Jr or Eric are next up for the ticket in 2029
If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.
I actually am as cool as I thought I would be as a kid when asked what I think I would be like in 2025.
Unfortunately, what other people think is cool has changed dramatically.
Is being kinky cool yet? That’s the only chance I have.
Depends on the kink. Leather, whips, and paddles? Always been at least a little cool. Electroplay? Very cool.
Diaper play? To each their own, but not cool.
I am scared to Google “electroplay”.
I enjoyed lockdown tbh
Best thing that ever happened to me.
Today’s date is March 1,697 2020.
after the pandemic
Oh boy, do I have news for you! (The pandemic has not yet ended)
You are that rock?
…because that rock is about to fuck up that whale’s whole year.
That’s a Sea Lion
Ahhhhh
Pretty much…
Honestly at this point, I’m not even sure how I’m not dead yet. I crave the afterlife.
thanks, I hate it
