Eniko (moved ➡ gamedev.place)when i talk about covid and i say "well, <activity> isn't worth brain damage" people assume i'm joking and the only way i'm joking is in that i'm really not
like im no brain scientist but i dont like the thought of my neurons getting fused
OkazuYuri@eniko Having experienced the very severe brain fog of Long Covid, I can tell you with absolute honesty anyone not wearing a mask right now is playing with permanent disability.
@EricaFriedman yep. dont wanna think about what the state of public health will look like in 2030
EaterOfSnacks@eniko Same. My cognition has a bumpy enough ride already.
Rev. GothAlice@eniko Ooh! Or kidney fibrosis! Or chronic fatigue! Or thrombosis clotting! Or..!
It's a party in your genes, and only the virus is invited! And has been granted passwordless sudo access!
Edit to add: and, I mean, don't sell yourself short. You're a technical expert even if not in a medical field. By comparison to the people actively deriding self-protection measures, you ARE a brain surgeon.
Brian Jeffears@eniko Yeah :/
gfam@eniko Is there a brunch on Earth worth brain damage? Can't imagine it.
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@gFam @eniko there was, but it's been permanently discontinued. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ferries-buffet-closing-1.6867670
Serenus@eniko It’s true, and I don’t get why so many people don’t get that. Sure, it’s not guaranteed, but if you’re rolling the dice on that you don’t want to be doing it lightly. Who wants to wind up with permanent damage from their commute?
