Ever feel like you're living in a dystopian science fiction dream?

[Throck]

What next Covid distemper rabies Dutch elm disease variant?

I am so tired of this epic shitstorm.

1. It's dystopian. But since I remember a lot of the great dystopian science fiction,

especially of the 1960s and 1970s, I know it could be one hell of a lot worse.

Was reminded of some of those books by a 1974 Bowie song I posted earlier in topics about Bowie:


Diamond Dogs, studio version and live in 2004:

17. My first year in college, my friend showed me that album cover

I was actually used to classical music album covers! That just freaked me out! LOL!

2. Throw in mange, pink-eye and powdery mildew and we're all set.

3. Can we throw in athletes foot and toenail fungus?

What the hell, jock itch!

4. Everyday..but more over what is happening to our democracy than the pandemic

The pandemic will eventually go away. We will be bruised and sore, but will recover. If we lose our democracy...who knows if we will be able to regain it

5. Global pandemic; fascist takeover; climate change causing weather crises.

No disaster movies would even think of lining up so many serious catastrophes.

6. The simulation is definitely glitching.

7. We all are

It' didn't have to be this bad. It's frustrating that so many don't practice basic precautions and instead whine and throw tantrums.

9. I blame it all on TFG

The least he could do for us is just go away.

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. I love it if he did.

8. no I think raining frogs comes next.

Big splatty juicy frogs.

10. Are you sure?

I was getting set for rivers of blood.

19. There were locusts last year. Do locusts count?

[Grasswire2]

20. it isn't an "either" "or"

It's an and, and, and!

More plagues. More weird nature. The ocean on fire. The locusts. And.....

[yellowdogintexas]

22. I could swear I heard something about raining frogs

someplace tropical where certain types of weather inversions can make it seem to be raining frogs and other small creatures.

11. I can't find up to date assessments of masks.

I ordered a Halo Life mask and filters a month ago. Now I'm unable to discern if they're better than KN 95's - which I ordered more of tonight, but will take weeks to arrive. Grrrrr...

[58Sunliner]

13. You can order N95s off the Honeywell site.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

21. thanks.

I ordered more from Amazon. Got some gift cards. Also have 2 kn 95s from last year. I'm gonna look up cleaning methods.

I'd like to wear the Halo Life with the filter. It cost 40 bucks!

12. I think the dystopian part for me is the absolute ignorant numbskulls

that won't get vaccinated for whatever stupid reason they come up with. I cannot fathom in this day and age there are so many fact free idiots running around.

[orangecrush]

15. Yup

[LW1977]

16. I think I'm dead and in Hell!

Sounds harsh, but I want my fucking life back! Trump is responsible for the pandemic, and his unpatriotic, treasonous and stupid supporters won’t get vaccinated to end this fucking thing already!

[llashram]

18. sadly

these times ain't no dream...
