Ride Theory@amydiehl I love articles that start with "When the pandemic came to an end..." as if we weren't in the endemic period.
Nazo@ridetheory @amydiehl Yep. It's not at an end. It's just permanent now.
Maybe in a few hundred years humans will have adapted sufficiently. Or maybe it will take a thousand. In the meantime, COVID-19 is going to utterly wreck us while we try to just pretend it away.
Nini@ridetheory @amydiehl But it's fiiiine, we have so many other crises to deal with that nobody will notice and it won't be in our lifetimes so YOLO. /s
