    I really miss the pandemic, but I can’t tell this to people or they will think I’m a psychopath or something

      I miss the disruption of social norms like people spreading out in public, remote work being recognized as productive for a large portion of the workforce, the reduced traffic, the reduced pollution, the acknowledgement of being sick deserving time off, and all of the other positive side effects. Not the pandemic itself, but that it showed a ton of social norms like commuting to work and obligatory social events people don’t actually want to go to are not necessary for society to function.

      At least a few fragments survived fhe overall reversion to b social norms.

        Exactly. All that and much more. For a brief moment of my existence, I felt like a normal person in a world made for people like me. Then, it all slowly fade away and I became the weird person again…

          As an insomniac, I hate bird noise …

          Kinda like how insects got rarer in recent deades. I know that this is symptomatic of a very bad thing, but I sure don’t miss having a lot of insects around.
