    Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.

    • Didn’t have to commute.
    • Saved money on home cooking.
    • Meetings started on time and you didn’t have to walk to and from them.
    • If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
    • Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
    • All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
    • Didn’t have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.

      Same I loved it, but that was because it let me skip the last year and a half of highschool essentially.

    Anyone feeling this way was traumatized by the crap the Democrats and Fauci did in 2020 and 2021. “Rules for thee, but not for me.”

    This is why half the country votes Republican, and I can see where they are coming from. Anyone who experiences this “pandemic skip” and still thinks their politicians handled it correctly has Stockholm syndrome.

      Well look man technically that’s true for everyone working a job then, it’s just what degree of acceptable and at what point is it visibly disturbing not for others but also to your own mind so to speak

        A lot of countries were far worse. I still can’t get over what happened in Australia, and I feel terrible for North Korean citizens.

      Fuck you. You are brainwashed by a stupid cult. Donald Trump is a weak loser conman and you are inherently worse than that for falling for Q nonsense. You don’t even know who was president in 2020.

        Ah yes, the old tired argument that anybody who criticizes Democrats (including governors, mayors, and legislators who did indeed push for covid lockdowns) means that they must be a Trump bootlicker.

        How cute. Almost as if you are in a cult who can’t handle criticism.

          You can kiss my ass you stupid motherfucker. Your troll tactic is weak and pathetic. By responding to something that bares no resemblance to anything I said you are attempting to avoid playing defense like a cowardly weakling. Boring and tired alt-right playbook 101. Yet you are so stupid and weak you don’t realize that this isn’t even a debate… it can’t be a debate because you’ve already lost: You got sucked into a stupid person authoritarian cult. YOU LOSE.

          And yes I mean literal cult, literal medical clinically diagnosable cult. Q is LARP, a cult within a cult. If you think Trump is honest you are at least in the outer cult. It’s really that simple. If you whatabout to something I didn’t say instead of admitting that Trump is a pathological liar conman who is now fully embracing Nazi rhetoric on his journey to authoritarian dictatorship, then you are either fully brainwashed in or you’re an evil fascist fucker who is pretending to have fallen for it. Either way you MAGA disgust me. Schooling has failed you. You could have learned some fucking media literacy. or a tiny ounce of critical literacy. Either would have told you what we all in the majority see so plainly. You are in a cult.

          I have no interest in waking you up because if I did this would be the absolute worst way to go about it. But I don’t care, because you weak losers are so pathetic I no longer want you to wake up. Trump is going to prison and you are going to cry. I won’t get the pleasure of you crying if you wake up first.

                I backed Clinton and Sanders. If it’s fucking Biden and Trump in the next election, I don’t know what I’m gonna do because they both suck. I don’t know who I’m going to vote for in the next primary yet, but it sure ain’t gonna be either Trump or Biden.

                  ahahaha I love when trolls can’t help but be carefully honest… you “backed” Clinton and Sanders aka you didn’t vote for Sanders and then Biden and suddenly get redpilled by a Brandon Straka hoax campaign, you didn’t vote for anyone at all! How’s the weather there in Olgino?

      God damn those Democrats for the lock downs that happened under a republican government. The international pandemic was all the doing of the lousy Democrats. Grrr

        The lockdowns were on a state and local level, enacted by Democrat governors, mayors, and legislation, and you know it. And of course the Democrats didn’t cause covid. The idea that the government can dictate what’s essential and what isn’t sounds like fascism to me. Especially when you’ve got a bunch of these “science believers” vacationing in Florida and Texas so they don’t have to abide by the covid restrictions they pushed for in their own cities and states.

        Both Republicans and Democrats are different breeds of fascism and stupidity at this point, and if you can’t criticize your own side, you’re in cult.

      But like, did you actually have any network intrusions? Because I recall the hoopla and pushing scripts, but never once actually heard of anyone being actively exploited other than a few big players

        Nope, none of our customers had, because the application wasn’t webfacing at all but good luck explaining that to a scared shitless CTO/CIO in their late 50s…

    Y’all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

    I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like “wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we’ll come get it in a week if youre still alive then.”

    I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like “Whelp, we’re fucked.”

      Fortunately I had accepted imminent death decades ago so while everyone around me was having existential breakdowns I could wander around, hand out hot water bottles, tea, and fuzzy blankets, and see how many times in a row it can be Taco Tuesday before they start to question their sanity.

      Yeps. My kids were home and my wife was a nurse going into one of the hardest hit areas of US each day. I ended up working from home the first few months until enough stuff broke that I had to come in. I lost about one person I knew per month for the first four months.
