The lockdowns many liberals dream of:

Longed Four
Point one: you can’t predict “long term” effects because we don’t have long terms of evidence here
Point two: when surveyed and tested, people’s beliefs they had long Covid had no correlation with whether they had Covid at all
Point 3: severity correlates with LC severity too

I saw this too. I do believe Long Covid is real, but I also believe its eventual prevalence will be 99% less than what it claimed now. Most so-called Long Covid is pandemic trauma, sequelae that will go away over time, and those who believe they have Long Covid but it’s something else (also real, but not caused by Covid).
I suspect Long Covid will have a prevalence rate of around 0.2% to 0.4% of those with severe cases, which matches typical PIFS from other causes. That is still a lot of people, to be fair — but it’s not the mega-apocalypse the Covidians are claiming will occur.
Prop Mouth
With bloodied gloves, forensic teams uncover gruesome secrets of Bucha in Ukraine.
Would be nice if the press would stop saying “alleged” atrocities and Russian propaganda mouthpieces like Ian Welsh et al. would just shut up.
Crock
This is why we need a new Sexual Revolution. Women are sick of suffering so that men can be free.
I mostly agree with the gist of this, but fucking LOL at the idea that men are “free.” What a crock of shit.
Contain
Hier stimme ich mit @MonikaSchnitzer absolut überein. Weise seit Monaten darauf hin, dass neben der Ukrainekrise die immunologische Krise in China die größte Gefahr für die Weltwirtschaft ist. Ua schon vor dem Krieg in der Abschlussdonnerstagsrunde beim @BMF_Bund oder in der @SZ https://t.co/SrAHTCONKb

Ich stimme dem zu.

Geese are very effective combatants:
Meeting Greeting
This has indeed been a strange inversion.
I met a girl on a plane a few months back, and after some light texting we finally met up. She was with her co-workers, who treated our meeting on a plane as some sort of foreign concept. Jokes about “hope you’re not a serial killer” went around the table. Only 15 years ago we (wrongfully) treated swiping around online as the thing only “socially awkward” people tend to do and worried about how much you actually knew the person. Now people have completely flipped sides and act like, “So you just talked to a guy for a couple hours on a plane and now you’re hanging out together? Bold move!”
I remember when it was considered completely normal to meet people in everyday life and near-suicidal to meet anyone in person that you’d met on the internet.
I don’t think what we’re doing now is any improvement at all. In most ways, it’s worse.

45
Also, why in the 1970s did everyone look like they were 45, no matter what age they were?
Certain
I believe every purse made between 1970 and 1985 came with a roll of these in it because I don’t know any adult woman from that era who couldn’t produce one within 10 seconds on demand. pic.twitter.com/J0RnhfV5iX

That is absolutely true. And strange.
Nystagmus
“Nystagmus is a rhythmic form of reflex eye movements composed of slow eye movements in one direction interrupted repeatedly by fast, saccade-like eye movements in the opposite direction.”
From that neuroanatomy book I”m reading! I have to read complex-ass books to learn any new words in English this days.

People construct weird vapid edifices of reasoning so they don’t have to admit that tastes are different

Yeah, it’s bizarre. Reminds of the clown who said that no one really likes vegetables because they put butter and sauces on them. I’d love to ask him if he puts salt on his steak, or barbecue sauce on anything. If he does, he must not really like meat.

Why is nobody talking about Russia’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children? https://t.co/G7QPREVsfL

Ian Welsh says they wanted to go, so….man, fuck that guy.
No Exit
Every complaint like "Why did they still hold/attend this event?", etc, is based on an unconscious belief that Covid will end at some point. Like most, I was in denial about its permanence until late last Summer.
Once you accept that (and yes, it's still sad!), the judging ends

That’s right. There is no ending to a virus like SARS2. That was pretty clear since early 2020.
