The year is 2025

It has been depressing to realize that if the zombie apocalypse ever comes, a significant portion of the population will either ignore it or actively try to become infected just because they don’t like being told what to do.

Wearing a mask is a sign that you're sick and are willing to take measures to prevent others from catching what you have. What a sorry state of affairs we're in where you're judged for doing something so considerate. I'm sorry you have to put up with their shit.

If the future is anything like CDDA then I will be thriving. I'll be scavenging solar panels while rocking a Linux t shirt and a wizard hat

[thereturnofpeb@reddthat.com]

That is basically in my opinion Kyle Rittenhouse type thinking

I'm not even sick most of the time. I just don't want COVID again even though I'm super vaccinated and only had one very mild case. I still want to take that precaution. It affects nobody but me and I'm always surprised how indignant the people who have said something to me are over it. But at least most people leave me alone, apparently in conservative US states they'll scream at you and threaten you from their car windows.

Just pull down the mask and full-throat cough in their direction, they'll get the message

[skulblaka@sh.itjust.works]

Just like the simulations

When I was a teenager, the discussion was always "would you survive the first wave," and my friends and I were never sure if we would or not. We didn't realize the bar for that was whether or not you would run towards the zombies..

I put on my robe and Linux hat

In the past I always thought the characters in zombie movies were always portrayed as too dumb. After covid hit, I realized that they were portrayed as too smart.

What did he say? I can't imagine any sort of bitching that wouldn't end up with me laughing at them

[bonesofthemoon@lemmy.world]

He just looked really surprised and I walked off. Then a very nice gentleman complimented me on my Drive By Truckers shirt and we talked about them for a bit.

As scary as the lockdown was, it was an interesting year of protests for BLM and labor movements. Once everyone had a lot of time on their hands, they started to take action on import topics.

Now I feel like most people are back to the grind, and as a whole we don't have the time to quickly make changes we want to see

[ayyy@sh.itjust.works]

Kinda sounds like you were hoarding, that part wasn’t such a great idea.

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Maybe the owning class wants everyone to be overworked, because it keeps the people from getting political

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

It's a symbol to these people. They don't even think about its usefulness, because they were told that they have no use.

So to them they see a person wearing a mask as an instant enemy.

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

Doubtful. I still have two boxes. After a bit they weren't hard to get. We didn't know how long we would need them.

[dontmakemorebabies@lemm.ee]

I fucking loved the lock down. Masks? No more faking facial expressions. Social Distancing? I didn't have to pretend to care about people. "Working" from home? So simple and I got to spend a year home with my new baby.

It was glorious and I miss it.

[lowleveldata@lemmy.world]

It's not many back then because all family members were using masks

[algorithmae@lemmy.sdf.org]

So he didn't bitch at you, just gave you a look?
