normalize not normalizing the new normal the pandemic is now hypermaskuline energy since 2020 i pity the fools but i do not suffer them Ⓥ 🇨🇦

  1. my least popular but correct take is that a guy who kills a buffalo for sport is no worse than the guy who demands pigs be killed because they ❤️❤️❤️ bacon or cows corralled to the kill floor for their big macs or who boils lobsters alive to slather them in butter.

    it’s all cruelty for pleasure.

  2. a close family member was first to insist to me in early ‘20 that COVID was airborne. they urged me to mask even though the i newsroom i worked in at the time was still reporting droplet dogma.

    in the summer of ‘23 this same person told me they were through with boosters and precautions in general.

    them (in 2020):Hey, take whatever you can. Stay away from sick people, dude.
Everybody has to go "full commit" on this. Not just to protect yourself but to remove your chances of being a vector to the more vulnerable.

me: Yeah, I know. I've been doing that for weeks now - except in this case at work. I waited a little too long but it took me awhile to get over the idea that I was overreacting to this shit because I was surrounded by colleagues and a boss who were acting like it was nothing to worry about.
It was really surreal.
I'm used to being the anxious guy in the room, so I second-guessed it a bit.

them: It's all so fucking surreal. Every news report | watch, I think: "is that really the news or just some bad episode of walking dead?"
But error on your more anxious perspectives

  3. proud of the confederacy and proud to flout the spirit of the country’s signature statue, lady liberty, and the words inscribed on her pedestal, “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free …”

    they may not have physically torn it down. but they’ve torn it down.

    Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

  5. i said i was not talking about hunting. look the point is, most of the meat we consume and the way we consume it is for fun. most of us don’t have to eat it—if you have a medical reason that you must then fine. nevertheless, we certainly don’t have to relish in the consumption the way we do.
