With a vaccine, Covid really is "just the flu" for most people. https://t.co/XTsKza5hiF

Not even as bad as the flu — more like a mild cold. That’s because in the vaxed, Covid only seems to attack the nasal passages and upper respiratory tract.
Shock: Rents rising three times as fast as ‘official’ inflation figures.
The official inflation figures are absolute bunk. They are just pure garbage; do not resemble reality in the least.
Individuals who were more satisfied with their bodily appearance were less likely to experience problems with sexual pleasure and orgasm. https://t.co/1kd0VhE4wa pic.twitter.com/JPOGJrjVHj

Remember what I was saying below about the real reasons behind the modern prudishness?
Yeah.

The FUTURE!
The vaccines work:
Love the fire Angie has been bringing lately about the liberal lockdown lifers:
Their behavior is so strange to me. I know that their desire for asceticism and their lack of a place to direct their religious feeling has become wrapped up in Covid fears, and that’s a lot of the explanation. But it’s just so damn odd that they get so angry about people having fun. We’ve created the worst kind of prudes lately, the ones that we all used to make fun of mercilessly in the 1990s.
Being on here during Lolla is bad for my mental health (and blood pressure) & I've got a lot of work to do, so I'm gonna try to stay off this bird app this weekend. (We'll see how that goes.)
Sending love to everyone who is infuriated by all the things. I'm right there with you.

I’m glad they held the Olympics and Lollaplaooza. Lolla was requiring proof of vaccination. What is the problem? What is there to be infuriated about?
These lockdown lifers just make no sense at all. They actually do love lockdown and scolding people. It’s become a lifestyle, and a sick one at that.
I wanted to host gatherings again. I love hosting. I miss people.

What is stopping you? I know you’re vaccinated. Nothing is ever going to be “completely safe.”
Gen Z Are “Puriteens,” But Not For The Reasons You Think.
Yeah, it is mostly for the reasons I think. For years I was told this shift to prudishness wasn’t happening, but of course it was; I was right.
This article, though, is mostly bogus, other than about the fact that the phenomenon is real. People always find “reasons” to be boring prudes, to revel in their loserdom, but that doesn’t make them the actual reasons — they are more excuses, or post hoc rationalizations.
I believe the cause is more just a rebellion against what came before. That’s most of it, and what’s left is that with everyone now so fat and unhealthy, there is just less attraction between people. It’s easier being prudish when everyone looks like a dumpster.
