I could see how introverts would like covid and extroverts hate it.

Yeah my wife and I are both introverts so it was like... wow, all of a sudden she can work from home, make more money, spend less on travel, move to a non-coastal city, etc. Plus we got those 'stimmy' checks, which we mostly put into savings towards our future home. Oh and the guv'ment got my Miata fixed up, purrs good now.

A good ol' pandemic always benefits someone in society; be that everyone (population control *cough*) or the few (in this case, the introverts).

Now if GPUs, homes, and new vehicles could all return to normal pricing, I'd be happy as a lark. Only reason I'm not buying a house as we speak is because of the market bubble. My cousin bought his first home four months ago and it already appreciated $25k over what he paid... FFS.
 
Yeah I'm with you @btechlc - I'm on the introvert side too, but looking forward to having the option to be with people open. I think I grew more in my career skills during the pandemic than I did in the previous 5 years though. I put a lot of stuff to the side, and just learned a ton. Feels good to have leveled up.

I don't think housing prices will come down significantly over the next few years, and will probably keep nudging up. Governments have had to borrow so much money because of COVID, so interest rates need to stay low so they can service this debt. Low interest means cheap mortgages, which of course pushes housing prices up. Plus with all the money being printed, a lot of it collects at the top and gets injected into real estate.

I feel sorry for Canadians/East Coast/West Coast folks because y'all got hit with a lot of "You can't do jack shit," last year. That never happened down here lol so it seems so... alien to me.

And don't worry guys, I'm no denier. Got my second Pfizer dose about a month ago now (y)
 
Fuck COVID, what a disaster here, everything closed, we had a night curfew, couldn't see friends and family.. and I basically spent more than a year inside and in my own fucked up head.

I booked a festival in Croatia in September which me and my friends have been dying to go to for years, and we should be vaccinated by then. What a relief that should be, but I'm not crying victory just yet...
 
Being an extrovert whose primary source of motivation and inspiration is being in a touring band... COVID fucking sucked for me, in every way. I hated it. My life went from hanging out with various friends most days, playing shows across a few states, and seeing lots of live music besides, to hanging out with one person (my girlfriend - don't get me wrong I love her but I don't want to only hang out with ANY one person), bored, depressed, barely able to go out and do anything. It was horrible.

The auto industry has actually become one of the largest consumer of silica in the world

If they could just stop adding so many worthless tech/safety features, vehicles would be cheap as fuck to mass produce again... Like we needa go back to 90s tech on that. Direct injection helped by a 16 bit computer. Very simple. Or even back to before that, carbureted engines didn't even need computers.


Blerg! I'm so miffed when I think about real estate continuing to go up. My wife and I may just buy a chunk of undeveloped land earlier than planned and just wait to move onto it when we can afford the utility/house building costs. I would rather have a septic tank and a well than live in a cramped dystopian city.
 
So shocks guys I did a little quick math and believe possibly from last days of January, to early May, I averaged two tabs a day! Like legit 200 ug.

Not daily. Sometimes a tipple, others a real topple.

But that kind of quantified it for me anyway.

I just thought I should try and share something of meaning at least to myself.

Oh, also, Another realisation which hit me the other day is that I did genuinely acquire, more or less exactly a MILIION MICROGRAMS. in 2019.

Haha, What a one to take to your grave hey? And tell your grandkids with bizarre luck.

Like, I consider it personally a great honour to have been an official owner of one million micrograms.

One could even call it a gram. Shit man that's a lot of acid. LSD or analogues? I haven't even gone through a gram of weed over the last year lol

Oh yeah, loadsa weed gone through too lol, like gram daily, being honest. Edibles and vapor always. Like today. Well nicely high on clean cannabis.

I think, it may be just 100 mg’s actually? I’ll clarify it in my mind when it is clear enough.
.
The simple aim Was to try and procure a lifetime supply while the going was good and quality was so high.

I’m feeling increasingly confident that I achieved that specific aim at least.


Edit- so maybe, I bought just 100,000 Micrograms. 1000 x 100.

Yep. That’s it. Just 100 mg after all. Case solved.

yeah I agree.

And some of these new features I just fucking hate. Like auto breaking, turning the cruise control off if it thinks I am too close to the car in front of me, or dinging warnings at me if it thinks I am lane drifting, backup cameras flashing crap at you.

And a lot of these features you either cant turn off, or would have to read the owner manual to turn off.

My mom's new car requires you have your hands at 10 and 2 or it dings at you non-stop. It's so fucking annoying, I drive with one hand a lot, or with my hands on the bottom of the wheel when I'm cruising. I drove her car for an hour this past winter and I was about to smash the thing, lol. It was pretty cool though that the cruise control would steer for you to stay in lanes and even slow down, it basically drives for you on the highway, but you still have to pay close attention because the technology isn't there yet to account for anything that deviates much, or even if the lane lines disappear or get wonky.

@AutoTripper well looks like my maths were off there too lol... but regardless, it all adds up to a shit-ton of acid.
@TripSitterNZ you getting enough exercise?
Click to expand...
yeah man i been to the gym. Thats one of the main thing thats pisses me off though that people seem to assume about depression o just go get some exercise. Exercise does not help real depression all that much.
 
Going to have to disagree with you there @TripSitterNZ there's a ton of research pointing that exercise helps depression and all kinds of mental health for a lot of people. Personally it helps me a ton to get a lot of aerobic exercise - but I'm not clinically depressive or anything either to be fair. Sorry it doesn't help for you.
