What is the Best Part of the Pandemic? - A Little Positively Always Helps

[Niggernerd]

Not having to see ugly fat fuckers faces or having to smell their nasty breath

The fact that all non-essential public servants (that´s most of them around here imo) were sent home and absolutely nobody noticed. Society didn´t collapse and in fact a lot of needless bureaucracy were removed, to the benefit of everyone involved.

But we can´t have nice things, and it will probably change Soon™.

 

[Narr Then]

Seeing communities pull together at the start was amazing, really gave me some hope for the future.
Didn't last tho, unfortunately.

Having an excuse to be a hermit due to shielding has been great...had a difficult couple of years prior to all this and never really had the time to sort my head out due to work and health issues. The time off has done me the world of good.

Spending loads of time with my dogs

Started foraging again, something else that I've not had time to do for a few years. So much good stuff growing near my new place. Also been cooking and baking a lot more. Growing veg again (very good for my MH!) and learnt about fermenting stuff.

The downside is that I've not been able to access my meds for my RA, so my joints are in a bit of a state, but I'll be able to start again a month after my 2nd jab.

Normally I get the flu at least twice per year which knocks me down for around a week each time. But with everyone washing their hands and wearing masks I haven't gotten sick in over a year.

Wearing a mask at my cashier job means I can stick my tongue out at customers and mouth various slurs at them, without them seeing. Also watching the spectrum of reactions from all different kinds of tinfoil hats has been fun.

 

[shameful existence]

Sky without airplanes. I only realize it now, as they're coming back.

 

[Cilleystring]

Avoiding commuting and not having to interact with many strangers / potential retards has been pretty nice tbh

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

If the USA economy implodes I'd rather it be sooner than later.

 

[RussianParasite]

Working with a hangover is much easier when you can work from home so that’s cool I guess.

Couple for me:

1. My MA classes were online, which was a lifesaver given I was also working full time and oftentimes exhausted from commuting to two different places

2. MA deadlines were extended by 2-3 weeks in each instance. I didn't need it, but it was nice to have a little chill time before actually handing in.

3. Furlough packages. Reduced salary, but no commute, no work lunches or other expenses, no car maintenance or fuel. Subtracting those expenses, I was basically making 90% of what I would without the pandemic. That was fine by me, what with the boatload of free time.

4. More time at home (and so more time sleeping in bed) gave me a good turnaround where it concerned resting from workouts. Definitely made progress that I otherwise wouldn't have.

5. More time on the farms. No further explanation needed.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

I got into gardening, and was studying coding for a while.

 

[Velvet Sedan]

Made my job really easy. Securing empty buildings plus being the only one in them is nice.
It'll eventually end, but until then I'm hijacking the intercom system to play music while I do patrols.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Money printer go brrr.

This lockdown was the best grand social movement that has ever happened in my lifetime. Gas? Pennies. Traffic? Nonexistent. Stores? Empty and freely shopped. Internet faggots? Absolutely destroyed on all sides, crying and pussyaching and moaning about nothing. Working from home was based. Useless, talentless, feckless do-nothings being laid off in droves was based. People understanding finally, objectively, that they live daily life in the confines of a real and visible hierarchy of societal usefulness, incredibly based. Everything was clean and actively being cleaned. Hand sanitizer every 30 inches, and you fucking filth were actually using it for once in your disgusting lives. You unshowered, unclean, dysgenic, ugly, stupid fucks stood far away from me, quaking in your own piss with your fucking 40 cent gib-bux check and I freely laughed while staring into your feaful eyes, loving every second of it. Everything was fucking incredible, and you cucks had to ruin it by being too fucking pathetic and soft to actually hate everyone and everything like you've been saying over and over on the internet in a vain attempt to convince yourself. Reeee oben store reeee oben bar i no talk peeeeople and it make butthole bleed reeeee. You don't even HAVE friends to talk to. You don't have ANYWHERE to go. You have NOTHING to do when you get there. You're poor and you're unemployed, and you're still ugly, and you're even stupider than you are all of those other things. Fuck you. Crawl in a ditch and stab yourself to death, fuck you.

Let's see, financially 2020 was the best year I ever had with my business, it's nice having the family around more, my oldest kid is a teacher so she was visiting more often just for something to do, and we did a lot of outdoorsy stuff that I like more often.

Covid-19 hasn't been that bad for me at all.

 

[MadStan]

Watching the flu nearly vanish purely from just wearing masks.

What has the pandemic made you grateful for?

That I got to experience the world before lockdowns.

 

[Wormy]

Cubicle farm working conditions got more exposed as the unnecessary things the workers already knew about.

 

[UntimelyDhelmise]

The uprising of homeschoolers. Thanks to online schooling, parents everywhere have been finding out just what exactly their kids are being taught in the brainwashing camps known as the public education system for the first time, and many are undoubtedly fucking mortified.

What's more, the New Normal regime is ironically shooting itself in the foot further with this in the long term as, now that a lot of people are working from home, there's greater potential for folks to take up educating their children themselves.
