Doctor Who touches on this theme occasionally, but its not anywhere near the main premise. "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff" I believe is one of the quotes, lol.

This year, COVID very much still a think, I watched someone eat straight off a conference room table. No plate, no napkin, not even a fucking tissue. Dude had a notebook he could have opened up to a blank page that would probably be cleaner than a fucking communal conference room table... I think about that almost every time I see this person, and I tighten my mask when they are around.
I feel like the general public is irredeemable at this point...
Not sure, I have been seeing more links recently tho. Admittedly I have an account, but have only used it once to lurk a bit.
At this point the only social media I use is Hexbear and I have a Mastodon account on a server my friend runs. I barely go on Mastodon either tho, I'm just not sure it's the right format for me. I think I need a platform that does long form posts and discussions just as well as it does short bits and memes.
I've also never felt any sense of community on any of the mainstream platforms, give me a forum and IRC any day.
I go through the same though the same thought process, I just don't understand it either... It is the purest form of ignorance I have honestly ever seen.
I know someone with a child under 2 years old that has been sick pretty much constantly since birth. Not one specific illness continuously, but getting sick with various things almost back to back, including COVID multiple times. All I can think about is how that kid is starting out with their foot in the fucking grave... It's so fucking depressing.
Oddly enough, I rewatched the first one last week haha.
Same here! I have all but said this to my one friend. I don’t think the system is equipped to make meaningful change nor do I think society is equipped to make meaningful change to the system.
It’s the major point of contention with my lib friends that yearn for the life they were promised even when they are clearing seeing that it’s not obtainable and probably never was.
This is a theme I’m struggling with a lot. My friends think that them being receptive of my reasons for not joining them for dinner is them caring. They made plans to go out and “since you don’t dine out anymore we understand if you won’t join us, nothx”. How about acknowledging me with a compromise instead of just a passive aggressive “we understand, maybe next time?”
Personalizing this was just my way of relating, but the sentiment is that they really don’t care much more than what will keep good optics. They tote their vaccine status and order the free expired COVID test, but won’t act accordingly when the disease and its affects stare them in the face.
Most confusing of all are the ones who post about updated vaccines and free rapid tests being sent out -- they act like they don't know covid is worth caring about but then occasionally they say shit that demonstrates they know it's still around, and go right back to gathering without masking
I have another group of friends that does this. They tote their vaccine like a seasonal fashion item and post about every time the government is giving out expired COVID tests for free. Meanwhile most of them take no further precautions and then act surprised when they have COVID for the 16th time. Liberal vibe based politics is malicious.
I can bake a mean loaf of bread.
The username gave me pause as well. Is someone here artificially creating content for us?
I do kinda hate myself...
