As we move further into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Date: 2022-09-05 12:29 am (UTC)Two hours into our coffee date, I exclaimed, "You don't give me the creeps at all!!!" And we talked another hour and a half. We got married in October 2010 and have had a very good marriage. He's the only person I've ever met online and dated, and I owe it all to social media.

Date: 2022-09-05 05:34 am (UTC)After leaving my partner of twenty years in a major huff (we had screwed ourselves into a very tight corner) and later, over many weeks, explaining (Nyet) then requesting (Nyet) & well, finally begging (Nyet)
I went on a few dates. All via 'real life' and none worth any more time and money than required for the period of 'discovery.'
Then covid.
Congrats to you ! How providential.

Date: 2022-09-06 08:23 pm (UTC)I did meet my wife around that time period, but amazingly enough the "old fashioned" way through a mutual friend. The fact that that is rare in my peer group (early 30s) seems to be just a sign of the times, I guess.
I'm glad I didn't have to do that. Online dating *usually* sounds stressful.
I did meet a girl in an AIM chatroom as a teenager and we got together at the mall once, but only cause it was a group chat that contained mutual friends. Nothing romantic came of that though, though as fate would have it we both drifted into the same completely unrelated friend group we wound up ironically hanging out a lot about 5 years after that though. Yay for platonic friendships that start online. Haven't really talked to her in years though. Time passes I guess.
