Hey now it didn't get everyone, Covid barely affected me. Mind you I'm an insular bastard who is living up to a bunch of 1800s and 1700s stereotypes about American-Scots being insular mildly violent bastard who want to be left alone.

It gave me some dark satisfaction to see everyone briefly visit my world and get broken by it. But for me it was great because suddenly everything was built around my lifestyle. Briefly.

So, so many people couldn't handle living in a world that wasn't built around their needs. For one brief moment I got to experience what it's like to live in a world that actually fits mine.
