I was looking forward to a comfy Josh stream.
Fuck.
I've stopped browsing most threads here and stopped browsing most of the internet, for that matter. Everywhere I look online, there is bloodthirsty rage -- usually hidden under a thin veneer of justice, but the unreasoning, platitudinous screams make it clear that justice is not the goal of this madness. Violence, destruction, and murder are their own rewards.
I have said it before and I will say it again. Human contact is a salve. When the pandemic started to take hold, I feared that the worst thing that the virus could do was drive us apart, force us to hide from each other in darkness until we became shadows of ourselves. This fear may have come true.
All I can do is stay optimistic. I look for what little good news is reported, and I focus on it. Pandora's box has opened, and through the horde of demons spewing out and corrupting the world with hatred, mistrust, and hysteria we must look for the ray of hope at the bottom. Lolcows were funny when they were simply walking embodiments of the rot lingering underneath society; now that the rot has erupted into the public, our amusement has faded.
Once the world is at peace, we will all hold hands and laugh at fat people again. That time will come, frens. That time will come. Stay safe, and stay happy, everyone.
