I'm not sure there's a force in the universe strong enough to convince someone in the United States that they weren't, in fact, locked in their houses for 1.5 years.

@johnzajac @CppGuy It is beyond bizarre. But that whole obsession with identifying as âoppressedâ that Christians and white people have is beyond bizarre. I always thought their pandemic delusions was just more of the same.
The most privileged people in this country already insisting and cosplaying as some imagined âoppressedâ group naturally adopted fictional âlockdownsâ as part of their excuse why they donât (refuse to) even pretend to care about anyone else. Or even admit that other people exist.
Because insisting theyâre entitled to infect, disable, and kill other people means they are not good people.
News flash/spoiler: they are not, in fact, by very definition, good people.

@johnzajac meantime, we remain locked in our house since 2020 because on average not a single fucker out there cares about not casually spreading airborne disease

Yeah, this is a source of constant bitterness for me.

@johnzajac us, for the past several years, when asked 'are you still isolating?': is there still an ongoing pandemic?

@atax1a @johnzajac Same, except I am an "I" and not a "we", which carries its own set of hardships and privileges.

@ShaulaEvans (we're plural and referring to ourselves as a collective; even though we live with a partner,
we
is our first-person pronoun) -

@atax1a @johnzajac CF the friend* who, when I told them that I have been living in full solo isolation this entire time, and well into the fifth year I am sometimes struggling, took it upon themself to inform me that at the beginning of the pandemic when some people were in lockdown for as long as two weeks, it was "really hard on them" and I "need to understand that."
Yeah, no. I don't need to understand that, thanks.
*Former friend.

@ShaulaEvans @johnzajac full solo isolation for this long would have us screaming from the rooftop. we're already climbing the walls tbh

@atax1a Got you.
In return, I was referring to physical bodies within a home, and not plural vs non-plural status.
I'm glad your partner is there for you and I hope the living arrangements work well for all concerned.

@ShaulaEvans we figured, just had to clarify. our partner has a literal masters degree in public health, we consider ourselves extremely lucky. the universe is funny like that.
