I have a cold virus at the moment. Home test confirmed it wasn’t Covid, influenza a/b or RSV. So just a bug. It’ll run its course and I’ll be ok soon.

I feel pretty bloody ordinary but not as bad as I did when I got Covid when I couldn’t stand up for more than 45 min at a time due to fatigue. Or the only time I’ve had influenza A which absolutely rocked me and necessitated a hospital visit for fluids.

I’ve not had cause to leave the house since I became symptomatic but I need to tomorrow. I’m going to wear a mask and keep my distance as much as possible. I was reflecting that a few years ago I would have gone to work in my office. I would have justified it as ok because I feel like I’m on the tail end of the illness and can probably handle going in, even if I feel like shit.

And my workplace would have also expected that. So bizarre to think about.

I’m an insomniac reading through everything in my feed. I’d prefer not to run into this sort of… Edgelord rage tantrum, believe me

Nah this is a subscribed community.

You’re so… Hateful and angsty. I hope you’re not super young. It’s not good for you. Very gross behaviour. Try and do better.

OP never mentioned men. Bit of a slip on your part.

Elder millennial

It’s so hard to say because the allergy has been present my whole life - many exposures. The same thing goes for the taste of peanuts/peanut butter - I couldn’t actually describe how it tastes because I’m about 30s from throwing up.

My responses to him are always prefaced with a big sigh. Because whatever I’m about to tell him is negative. And he often concludes with ‘so how can you care about this/why do you give a shit if it’s pointless’ and I’m finding it harder and harder to answer that question.

Ignorance truly is bliss

In Australia I can’t tell you how frustrating this is. People are so fucking selfish.

Imagine using the word simp

My partner lacked political engagement until his 30s for reasons so he occasionally has these hot takes. But he expresses them to me and I do feel bad because he’s not coming at it from an arrogant perspective. It’s ignorance, some naivete and also exasperation at a whole lot of shit things.

I have to gently explain to him why XYZ isn’t that simple or black and white, or why his idea doesn’t work - and the answer to that, 9 times out of 10, is ‘because money/rich people/greed/lobbyists/nimbyism’.

I’m just slowly chipping away at his innocence and it feels bad.

That’s just how his mum still feeds him so you can forgive him the assumption

I’m extremely allergic to it. I smell it and I can’t actually describe it as food - it just smells like danger.

Some are toxic to animals so always check before burning them around your pets

The incels have moved in too. The place is feeling more and more like Reddit.

I’m using the block option a lot.

Thank you for projecting your experience as an individual man, on the experience of all women re what society expects of them.

Fucking Bravo.

They don’t get soggy?
