Covid hit just around the time where people around me (and myself, obviously) hit 30, got kids and settled down.

That means, covid turned into a "getting old" speed run for me. Before covid, there was something going on each weekend, a party here, a gathering of friends there, it was almost always at least something going on. When the lock down was unlocked up for real in 2022, most people had partners, didn't want to go out anymore or do anything at all, some kids were on their way or just arrived.

It felt like a development of 5-10 years was compressed into one or two years.

It was the silence for us. We were able to go out into the fields and not hear the constant background hum of distant cars. The air felt lighter and it was just my wife, my kids, the dog and me. We honestly miss those moments.

By far the best 9 months of my life was from Feb 2020 through Nov 2020.

Happiest. Least stressed. Most productive. Healthiest. Everything. No fucking traffic! Peace! Quiet! My God... Take me back.

I got laid off a month and a half before the pandemic, so I was getting unemployment right when everyone was saying the systems were overwhelmed. And right when they were overwhelmed, I started getting the covid bonus. It was the most money I'd ever been making at that time.

I was hiking basically every day. Studying every day. Making my own meals instead of eating fast food...playing music basically every day, started a business after 8 months or so (that capitalized on companies laying off employees to contract out a remote worker using PPE funds). My drinking was at a minimum.

My weed smoking probably increased. The only negative. It was only due to free time increasing and responsibility decreasing.

And you are not alone.

Aside from the calm, less travel, planes, stuff in general we have proven we could be less of a burden on the planet if we wanted.

Then it ended.

Same here but I remind myself that multiple things can be true at once just like I can feel multiple conflicting emotions or hold conflicting thoughts or opinions.

I was finally able to have a long rest.
Without any impending deadlines or pressure it took me two weeks before i had the energy to work on a project.

It was basically the time period where nothing happened (well, not literally nothing), and in a lot of ways, I liked that. It gave me time to focus a bit on my mental health. Life in general was on pause. It felt so... relaxing. And then the miracle wore off and we went back to life being absolute garbage.

Me too, and I don't even live in the US. He's bad fucking news. Even if he doesn't get in, there is a non zero chance Don Jr or Eric are next up for the ticket in 2029

We're not in 2025 CE (Common Era), we're in 5 CE (COVID Era)

Is being kinky cool yet? That's the only chance I have.

Terminator 2's plot starts in 2029.

The first quarter of the 21st century is over.

…Did you have fun?!

Right? Where the fuck is my flying car and why am I not living in a domed city on the moon like Disneyworld promised me?!

They even got flying cars in the Blade Runner crapsack world.

Best thing that ever happened to me.

I learned who I was. A lot about living and a little about love.

on the other hand we have monopolies that track our ever movement and live in surveillance states.
