the aids comparison annoys me because covid has none of the stigma associated with aids lol

from what i’ve seen there’s also nothing to suggest the immune deficiency effect from covid is permanent and constantly worsening, like with aids, so in addition to being completely blind to the stigma, they’re completely trivialising aids with that comparison as well

They're all fine but not as good imo

Dont be in such a hurry to grow up, since there's nothin' a kid can't do.
It's probably going to take a lot of long term research to see exactly what damage long covid does, and in the meantime it does whatever I say it does and you can't prove me wrong.

American goon goes on a trip to visit military museums in Canada, has adventures. Then he posts about his experience with the Canadian Unabomber in the Byward Market (a high-end shopping district/tourist pedestrian area) and gets roundly mocked for carrying his shotgun flashlight in case the scary Canadians assault him. (Outside his hotel room. He has a knife to protect his hotel room with.)
