    The whole covid thing was a shit show. I’m honestly surprised we survived it

      It made it obvious how government officials will either talk out of their asses or straight up lie. Like telling people everything is fine, go on vacation for spring break, then we’re in lockdown by the middle of spring break (when it was clear that it was a big deal in south Korea and Italy already).

      Or repeating “there’s no evidence of it being airborne” long after it was clear that it was airborne.

      Plus finding out the science of how particles move in the air medicine was using was decades behind the cutting edge and still believed it was based on the mass of the particle when airplanes existed that could remain airborne well over that “max mass”.

      And that’s not even going into Trump’s bullshit.

      I’m doing a bunch of vacationing at famous museums and it’s insane to me that after we all just learned how to survive a pandemic, I have seen exactly ZERO people who are sick and coughing up a lung in the museums are wearing a fucking mask. I hate humanity.

      I’m still surpised we (humanity) didn’t nuke ourselves during the cold war. I mean, there’s at least lile 10 close-calls. Perhaps the miltiverse-theory is true and we are the only ones that survived or its like some quantum-immortality shit.
