@lucifargundam nah, it's not that extreme. it's just difficult sometimes to distinguish between "i've slept in a wrong position and now my back feels shit", "i'm stressed and have a light headache", etc. and "might be a cold/flu/whatever". it's not all the time, just more often than at twenty ;)

@lucifargundam a what?

@lucifargundam sure, i'm well off in comparison. it's just interesting how much more i notice these small aches now @trinsec

@trinsec i thankfully haven't had many issues with sinus infections since i was a child

@trinsec i only have random pain in muscles and joints. in march 2020 i've had some days where my legs felt like i've walked 30 km through knee deep snow. i suspect that was covid, but i'll never know. so it's a bit unfortunate that i have these random aches.. :)

being over 30 surely doesn't help with noticing covid symptoms.. something always aches 😬

@Anarkat the treating in their cars is actually not a bad idea though. not optimal, but to assess things and for mild conditions it sounds much more clever than to be herded in with other people.

@thor well.. https://www.discogs.com/Mike-Rich-Expert-Knob-Twiddlers/master/11961

some german instances i've seen (where german is the language used most) feel like german twitter. just no zang to it. nobody questioning the german mass media consensus.

just look at whats going on in this country. politicians, media and corporations are fucking the public over from all sides but i should _trust_ them to handle covid and the climate change the right way?

i should trust the fucking green party whose chancellor candidate is a lying cheat, just because they are supposed to be "good"? i've voted enough times for them, only to get fucked and nothing done for the environment. they too want to line their pockets, like every politician. if they'd care for the environment they wouldn't put up election posters in the first place.

i only see fucking problems anymore, and there's nothing i can do to fix them.

consumption of bullshit (which really is 98% of things we have here in germany) has to go down massively. remaining resources should be put into building up sustainable localized food production, but it just won't happen.

i myself still consume far, far too many unnecessary things. i'm constantly pissed about myself because of it. it's maybe not healthy but at least i can look myself in the eyes. that one can't help it because of external pressure of society is just bullshit, especially for the people shouting loudest. _nobody_ can force you to consume anything.

except the vaccination of course! the spite of the heroic vaccinated who are now applauding that the evil unvaccinated have to pay for the fucking tests to go nearly anywhere is unsettling. it's on one hand completely irrational, everyone should have to get tested as the vaccinations aren't sterilizing - or are they? on the other hand it's deeply concerning how people, a majority who are regarding themselves as morally superior, are acting this way. what will happen if it turns out the mRNA vaccines have long term issues? buy the ticket, take the ride?

@velartrill judging from the state of my plants it at least rains slugs ;)
