The New Normal Bandwagon

Remember when the pandemic was in full swing? One of the phrases that popped up during that time was "The New Normal".

I personally didn't care for the New Normal, but it was being promoted as the new way of life that we all had to accept so that we could all be safe. It was billed as a way to save as many lives as possible, although I still think a lot of it was bullshit.

If you also remember, there were two major reactions to the new normal. These reactions revolved around which of the two major political ideologies the normal people subscribed to and would typically determine which bandwagon the individual would jump on.

The liberals, for example, embraced the new normal, while the conservatives resisted the new normal. The states that leaned liberal had tighter pandemic related restrictions, while the states that leaned conservative had much looser pandemic related restrictions. The liberal states were also more likely to have vaccine requirements, while the conservative leaning states resisted forcing the vaccines onto the people.

It was a total mess because there were actually two New Normals. Both in direct opposition to each other. It was too chariot type bandwagons of normal people dueling it out over Facebook and on TV.

The best reactions to the election

It was just announced that Donald Trump won the 2024 election for president of the United States of America. There are two perfectly normal reactions to this news. One is with joy. The other is with a deep sense of loss and anxiety over how the world is going to go to hell over the next 4 years. With that, I thought it would be fun to show the reactions from all the drama queens on my social media feeds. This is coming from both sides. I remove names to protect the innocent. This is gonna get pretty bad. I'm sorry. Drama is a very normal reaction to wins or losses. I don't see how this will help. Honestly. I will continue to update as the good stuff keeps coming in.

Feminism or Canceled

I once came across a blog about feminism. This particular blog had built a small, but tight knit group of 🐑 educated and professional female followers who all shared the same beliefs, values, and all preached the same bullshit. It took me three comments to get banned from this blog. I wasn't rude or anything, I simply questioned the wisdom of one of the blog authors points. My comment was relevant and respectful. I did this for two reasons. First, it was bullshit. The second is I like to stir the pot. After I got banned, I was still able to read the comments which I did for a little while. But I quickly got bored with it so, I moved on with my life. There were a few males in there who also seemed to share in the same thought processes as would be evidenced by their comments on various blog posts, but I'm sure they either had ulterior motives, or they were gay and this was a place where they found acceptance and a sense of importance. I try not to be ...

Election Year Normality

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. ~ Euripides I'm starting this blot on an election year. At the time of this writing, there is 23 days left until the election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. That is your choice. You should vote for whoever you think is best suited to run the country for the next 4 years. And might I add that it is perfectly normal to pick a side and vote. It is perfectly normal to choose a candidate who you like and support that person for whatever office they're running for. It is also perfectly normal to fear the other side, although such fears are often irrational, but that's what normal people do. What I will say is that in a world that's going to shit, it's always best to look for the light. So, I encourage you to choose wisely. Don't just jump on board with a few of the latest/greatest talking points but do your re...
