  1. Now, I, fully vaccinated AND having caught the virus, personally am proceeding through life as I did prior to the pandemic, with the exception that I wear a mask to work and in crowded places still, but the idea that there should be zero precautions taken whatsoever and people just shouldn’t care about it anymore is frankly incredibly shortsighted.

    1. @zeldatra @zeldatra So you got all doped up AFTER getting sick and are okay with still having to wear a mask? That's just... strange. Why is dealing with this sickness normally rather than in a permanent panic "incredibly shortsighted" compared to all the other sicknesses that we deal with normally by doing nothing and staying home when we get them (inb4 comparing SARS/Covid to serious, permanent, diseases)? Do you desire not to live normally, instead opting to track who wears masks when and where and can present medical records proving loyalty, or do you simply want people to make the same mistake as you (as in having got the vaccine and letting everyone know "you can scare me into doing whatever and I will")?

      1. @vernandex everyone else can do whatever the hell they want, I’m not the one advocating for controlling people here. That’s you. So take that individual liberties BS and jam it up your rear end, we’re all grown ups here, we can skip the “muh freedom” dog and pony show, we all know you don’t actually care about that.

        1. @zeldatra "I’m not the one advocating for controlling people here. That’s you" literally how? Your take is implicitly against individual liberties (describing something as "incredibly shortsighted" implies that you want something to be done about it, regardless of whether your intended actions are forceful or not), while I'm speculating that you want to reduce the liberties of others because of your own personal fears and beliefs being moulded by slogans and sensationalist news (that everyone says they're against but will read and cite in the same breath). I'm regarding your garbage post as a troll post because *ahem* check the software this site runs on; it's why I even know about this place, dip. "we all know you don’t actually care about that" how does the 2-bit powerpoint "animator" speak for the rest of the forum?

          1. @vernandex Are you aiming for incomprehensible, or is that just an unfortunate side effect of going full rant? Because I get that, myself, too... But regardless, I'm failing to wrap my head around "I'm regarding your post as a troll post, because of the software the site runs on" bit... He's not even the admin, he's unrelated to site software.

            1. @scribus The blatantly-rude and incorrect comment "we can skip the “muh freedom” dog and pony show, we all know you don’t actually care about that" is incorrect for many reasons, but one in particular that can be proven here: This site runs on GNUSocial (previously known as statusnet), and I learned about this website through exploring GNU software that I do not usually use. I ise Free software and reccomend it to my peers because I very much do caer about freedoms and liberties, unlike the aforementioned. All of the aspects of my "rat" are perfectly comprehensible, but I would understand that you would be confused as the StatusNet link now directs to an unrelated website.

              1. @vernandex Right, but how does you using FOSS make HIM a troll?

              2. @vernandex sorry, we're talking about rats now???
