What have your experiences been, interacting with people post lock-down? Do you interact with anyone who fully bought into the hysteria? What are they like now?

They all have dementia.

I could write wall of text, but basically when i'm around people don't talk about touchy subjects. Including niggers.

But then where's the fun in life?

I ran into some old friends a couple of weeks ago and it was really sad. These people are retired from very respectable jobs. They were politically active on the national scene and now they do nothing. “We just got out of the habit of leaving our house.“

Six years ago they were having their house checked for bugs before they hosted a sit down with the supreme court justice and a handful of elected representatives. And now they do nothing.

Before I completely deleted all my social media bullshit I used to respond to these dipshits that would be like… I have a medical problem… does anyone have advice… I’d respond yes, actually I have extensive knowledge about this ‘given subject’ but you should just consult your medical professional instead…. They’d be like but, wait…. I’d just be like Nah, consult your ‘professional’ who will provide no answers…. Just to fuck with them. I like to ash in their wounds while they perish.

Don’t talk to them anymore

[ - ] Inward 3 points 6 monthsNov 5, 2023 22:15:02 ago (+3/-0)

Because of my outspokenness on the subject, everyone around me pretends it won't happen. If I make some sort of joke or comment, they all turn away and will not make eye contact. They never, ever return comment or bring it up. Someone brought up getting a flu shot and I just said, "Didn't learn, huh?" He looked down and changed the subject.

I talk to a few coworkers and now they’re on the “I knew it was a fake all along” team. Yea right man I saw them wearing masks outside

Pretty much cut off all ties.

It's funny actually. I used to be a bit socially awkward, quiet and reserved, but it's like after Covid a lot of people just forgot how to socialize and I guess I've kinda just broken out of my shell at the same time. I still stay reserved, but at the same time if the situation requires it I can own a room and everyone's going to be listening. Or just getting random "hey's" and "hi's" from kids I had in class at ballgames kinda opens up conversation with other folks standing around, they're always saying "Well you're popular ain't ya?" and all that, then I get to talking and I'll be chilling with some random for 20 minutes jabbering about whatever.

Hell, even in fucking Walmart I bumped into this old Boomer dude and we were just hanging out waiting on the checkout line talking about guns and God. I've got a suspicion he was a Vietnam vet, guy just had a sense about him. He was short, scrawny, totally chill and relaxed, but had a sort of roughness to him as well. Drove a nice car, caught him in the parking lot as I was leaving.

Idk. I've noticed I'm just one of those types where I can make friends with just about anybody, or turn a tense situation into a whatever kind of conversation. Helps with my job when taking land pictures and the odd rancher comes around asking what I'm doing. Give it 30 seconds and we're talking about hunting or cows. 🙃

It's just when things get too personal is when I have a problem.

I think they are constantly having mini mitch McDonald's so they just freeze and are unable to talk.

But I don't know why that is I'm always continually #BAFFLED

I feel nothing but contempt and mistrust for everyone around me. Those that knew played along for the benefits, those that believed were willing to sacrifice my livelihood for their safety.

That and people have changed. It's more cutthroat than ever before. Just after the lockdowns you could tell they were upset that it ended, at least the financial perks that they so desperately clung to. They wanted to go out and be free but not at the cost of having to pay for it themselves.

People suck.

I work with a couple of vaxxed and I don't shy away from telling them they're going to fucking die. I still come in contact with a masktard from time to time but I just brush without acknowledging them. They too pass me by because I'm sure when they look into my eyes they can tell what I'm thinking/wanting to say.

Spoke to some and they are still retarded.

Some say they know people with long covid - how do they know that is the cause?

Covid exists. It injured some death fats. If not covid some other bug would have done it because they're death fats.

The interactions I had with neighbours on both sides of me was when each of them announced they were gonna get vaxed..

I asked the fella on the left if he ever looked at the information on the i'net that said "don't get the vaxes they will kill you" each of three times, he pooh poohed it all and went ahead and took the shots .. he had time to abuse me for not wearing a mask when I ran into him in the supermarket, he died in April this year.

The joker on the right the same, after I gave him a run down re what it was all about he said he will take his medical advice from medical professionals, whereas I shot back the ones who say don't get it are pros as well .. didn't make any difference he went in and had the shots he died about three weeks after the fellow on the left.

I thought it was going to be "loathe thy neighbor" by psychostick.

Wasn't disappointed though

[ - ] albatrosv15 1 point 6 monthsNov 6, 2023 06:19:59 ago (+1/-0)

That means right people were targeted by those shots?

Thinning of the herd.

My BIL still wears a mask inside his own home.What a moron.

You must be kidding? That is deranged.

Vaxxed air: Now that's funny!! Thanks!

Nope. No interaction at all. In fact, they are all on my kill list. Family included.

[ - ] albatrosv15 3 points 6 monthsNov 6, 2023 04:48:04 ago (+3/-0)

Why are they on kill list? They are braindead anyway.

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 5 monthsNov 6, 2023 09:32:11 ago (+1/-0)

Because if/when it all falls down they will be the ones to betray you on day one for a piece of bread.

[ - ] albatrosv15 1 point 5 monthsNov 6, 2023 12:37:37 ago (+1/-0)

Well then it's a preemptive defense list, not a kill list. Definitions, son.

[ - ] Peleg 3 points 6 monthsNov 5, 2023 18:10:23 ago (+3/-0)

I still run into a few idiots all masked up with terror in their eyes. They just KNOW that at any second the convid is going to jump out and get them. LOL
Those people are gone and can be written off as lost forever.

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 6 monthsNov 5, 2023 20:18:35 ago (+1/-0)*

I know a person that still wears their social distancing shirt.

[ - ] Love240 8 points 6 monthsNov 5, 2023 18:06:06 ago (+8/-0)

I was blessed enough to not have to interact with those types. So during the beginning of the lock-down it was glorious. The roads were empty, the skies were clear, I could move around with impunity.

But then came the tards' realization that they too could siphon some of the social power by being co-enforcers of the abuse as they began to demand YOU get the shot and YOU wear a mask like a good goy-slave.

Now, it's basically entirely back to 'normal', just with the added understanding that 99% of people are complete morons and lemmings that will cut their own nose off to spite someone else's face because the TV told them to.

Driving around was glorious. It was like some movie where everyone disappeared. Literally, empty interstates except for myself.

[ - ] albatrosv15 1 point 6 monthsNov 6, 2023 04:46:53 ago (+1/-0)

Too cynical, man. It's not 99%. It's about 90%.

[ - ] Gowithit 6 points 6 monthsNov 5, 2023 18:05:22 ago (+6/-0)

No sense of humor at all.

I wasn't the one that thought a garage had magical sanitizing powers so why can't I laugh about it now?

The very least they should do is laugh about how stupid they were. Bare minimum.
