I miss the old world.

submitted by PencilPusher55 from self.whatever

I do. Look at this time last year, unrecognizable. Sometimes I wonder if they're purposely making things horrible so that when we enter "The new normal", we'll be beginning for the world to resume in any capacity.

I was in a store today and looked at myself in the mirror. I had to take my mask of and adjust it - for a brief second I saw my full face and quickly the mask went back on. It was a very odd feeling, surreal in a sense. Dehumanizing.

The worst is these fucking geeks who have no social skills and love sitting inside drinking mountain dew, jerking off, and playing video games. Hearing them say "Bruh this is an introverts dream bruh!!". You're not an introvert, introverts are functional. YOU are a degenerate. They're just as bad as the people in stores who love to whip out their phone or shout at the person not wearing a mask.

At this rate it feels as though things will only get worse. Can you imagine another year in "lockdown" or making us wear a mask indefinitely? It's got nothing to do with complaining about basic civility or just wearing a mask, it's how pussified and submissive we are as a people. How complacent and unwilling to fight.

Man, I miss the old world so much.

Dehumanizing. So when the cull starts, we see faceless strangers dying, not fellow human beings.

Leave the city. I mean, really, haven't you understood yet? get the fuck out of cities as fast as you can and find a rural community that appreciates your skills.

I am not in the city. But society as a whole has changed.

you are not in a city and you have to wear a mask? Weird. There's all sorts of mask rules here in NZ, but not enforced where I live. Because none of us believe that shit

Really? I live in a suburb and people freak out if you don't wear a mask.

    To clarify I’d say Smartphones are an overall negative

    Cell phones aren't much more worthwhile than rotary phones.

    Home phones, or car phones would work for 91% of people. Oh but we need our MOBILE FACEBOOK SO WE CAN LOOK LIKE AN ASS WHILE WE'RE EATING DINNER AND SHIT!!!!

    It's the same world.

    Only now more people are being forced to wake the flock up.

    Seems to me that many are choosing to just stuff their heads deeper into the sand. ;/

    Yes that too.

    It's easier to fool someone than convince them that they've been fooled.

    Logic be damned.

      No mask = Your breasts or peepee falls off.

      Your freedom has already fallen off if you wear the sheeple muzzle.

      But is it a controlled boil? or a (mostly) dystopic race toward the future?

      Netflix has made people weak, and wussied.

      [–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      A race toward the centralized totalitarian Singularity.

      love sitting inside drinking mountain dew, jerking off, and playing video games.

      I prefer Coke.

      Diet Pepsi. Unless you mean cocaine which is good, as is ketamine, nitrous oxide, and DMT - the latter 3 don't have hangovers.

      So said a soy white.

      [–]Questionable 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Soyboys are typically leftists.
