I'm the only optimistic one out of my friends. They cling on to any headline about new covid cases as if they're almost excited about it. One thing I've learned over the last two months is people secretly enjoy larping like it's the end of the world.

Not that deep my man, I certainly don’t think that puts you at cunt status.
My work is doing pretty good right now. Were downgrading our office to a small space if people need to collaborate or entertain clients/have meetings. Looks like we’re trialling remote work until EoY and everyone is pretty happy about it! The amount of free time I get now without the 1hour commute each way and being able to do dumb house chores midday is sweet. Just need to make sure I actually get out and exercise.

This quarantine has been my biggest fucking confidence boost. I objectively accomplish more and feel better. This shit has motivated me to give corporate culture the finger and manage my own shit.

Calling someone isn't the same as being in someone's presence. It's better than nothing but not a substitute. Touching people is healthy. I don't mean just sex, but patting someone on the back, hugging, shaking hands, touching their arm, etc. There are studies about this showing that touch reduces stress, improves trust, etc. Stroking a premature baby with your finger will help it survive and develop better.

>One thing I've learned over the last two months is people secretly enjoy larping like it's the end of the world
there’s a book called “have a nice doomsday” that’s all about this. it’s a bit outdated now, but it’s a worthwhile read to contextualize why people like to escape into these end of the world fantasies.

especially now it’s pretty important. helps you contextualize a lot of the hysteria around covid. still think it’s a dangerous pandemic and that we’re best off flattening the curve by staying inside. people who are losing their minds are both terrified about and excited for a new paradigm, but they refuse to accept any of the changes that come along with it. they want the fantasy of being the messiah in dark times without the reality of a gradual shift.
