Dictive

Same. 2020 is the year we finally entered the “consequences” phase of many past fuck-ups, flubs, fumbles and failures. Quite predictable! We knew climate change was on its way; we knew a pandemic was inevitable, and we knew inequality and lack of a functional medical system were extremely dangerous.

Yet we did nothing. Not only did nothing — we made them all worse after many, many warnings. So, as I said: predictable. Don’t listen to the “Who could have known?” crowd. They are just attempting to excuse their past inaction and present incompetence.

Many knew and have known for years.

Damask

As face masks become the norm, many wearers quietly suffer “mask anxiety.”

This is me. I hate wearing the mask more than anything else I’ve ever had to wear or do. I’d rather never go out if I had any choice than wear a mask.

If this become the liberal virtue signaling norm after the pandemic eases (which is likely), I’ll just not be able to participate in public life again.

Cannot breathe or think while wearing a mask. Does not get any better.

It Works

That’s the dipshit assclown mook defense againt everything. Something completely obvious, predicted well in advance occurs, and these shitheels are like, “How could anyone possibly have known?”

Repeats constantly, people fall for it. Which is I guess why it repeats. It works.

Risk Management

I’ve had a few people from my old job, after they made fun of me back in February for preparing for the pandemic, ask me how I knew what was going to happen.

Well, I didn’t “know” in any conventional sense. I examined the risks, determined a spectrum of likely outcomes ordered by probability and impact, and decided to hedge, as a good trader always does. It’s just as simple as that. I don’t have a crystal ball or psychic powers. I just know how to manage risk.

Need

Ok, I’m a jerk, but I do continue to find it hilarious that the same crew who told many very lonely (mostly) men that “no one NEEDS love, sex, or human contact” is going just fucking apeshit during this long lockdown.

How’s it taste, fuckos? God I love the comedy that the universe sometimes provides. It rarely provides justice, but comedy? Yeah, it’s got that.

Own It

I’ve always kind of had this attitude, but when I got out of the army I decided to just live this way. And now when I don’t want to do something, I just don’t.

It’s such a better way to live. Don’t want to do something, fucking don’t. Quit being weak and pitiful. Own your own fucking life. Quit whining. Understand that there will be consequences, but be woman or man enough to take them.

(It helps to have money.)

Mutate

“Mutating” to normals is like “radiation.” Bad. Very scary.

I’ve literally frightened someone in real life by telling them their lights were emitting radiation. Pretty funny. But most mutations in anything are neutral because….well, duh, just think about it for a second.

Lock Up

No lockdown anywhere should’ve lasted longer than a month, no matter the incompetence present elsewhere.

Hate to tell you this, but lockdowns became about destroying small- and medium-size businesses while allowing oligopolies to further dominate. That’s the only reason lockdown was allowed to continue so long.

And the liberals fell for it, as they always do. Pitiful.

Animotion

Another weird thing about standard-issue liberals is that they are prone to say shit like, “That’s just based on emotion.”

Well, big damn insight there, because 99.9% of anything anyone does 99.9% of the time is just “based on emotion.” You have not scored any sort of rhetorical coup de grรขce by declaring some decision or action is based on emotion. It’s similar to the liberal “arbitrary.” They think saying that something is “based on emotion” or is “arbitrary” means they’ve won the argument, somehow, but all that’s really happened is that they are revealed as a complete dipshit.

Here’s some news: all of human life is based on emotion and things that are arbitrary. It doesn’t mean that either of these is easy to alter, as libs for some reason imagine. Where do they get this idea? Too much education, not enough real world, is my guess.
