Current mental location: somewhere on the road between "scaring myself shitless over the studies that even mild COVID causes brain damage, because I'm not 100% sure I did the home test right and I've ALREADY probably got some dain bramage from a post-viral syndrome I got when I was 19" and "absolutely livid at the Reddit hoi polloi for not reading the goddamned article-- which says it's equivalent to about a year of extra brain aging and mostly affects the goddamn olfactory system-- and screaming OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA BE IDIOCRACY NOW"

i hate hate hate hate hate brains

this is why i was a transhumanist -- i was never some dipshit libertarian who thought Moore's Law was gonna make us wise somehow -- i just absolutely fucking want us all off this shitty broken platform, made out of wet fat and engineered for self-delusion-- as soon as possible
