      I was totally ignorant of that, I’m sorry. I found a version that doesn’t have the Japanese imperialist flag so we can all enjoy the meme.

      I felt so smug. Like “Welcome to my world, you assholes! How do you like being forced to live in a world that wasn’t made for people like you?!”. Unfortunately, it mostly did the opposite of teaching them more empathy.

      I really miss the pandemic, but I can’t tell this to people or they will think I’m a psychopath or something

        I miss the disruption of social norms like people spreading out in public, remote work being recognized as productive for a large portion of the workforce, the reduced traffic, the reduced pollution, the acknowledgement of being sick deserving time off, and all of the other positive side effects. Not the pandemic itself, but that it showed a ton of social norms like commuting to work and obligatory social events people don’t actually want to go to are not necessary for society to function.

        At least a few fragments survived fhe overall reversion to b social norms.

      Our kid turned one when Covid hit. I love him so dearly but I can’t imagine how much funtimes I would’ve had if it happened a few years earlier.
