Things learned from a year in quarantine

  •  People will whine about the slightest discomfort, even if said discomfort is literally a life-saver. I always wear my mask outside the house, and the worst that happens is fog on my glasses (which is why the only exception to that rule is going through a drive through).
  • I may actually be more of an extrovert than I previously thought. I miss being around people, even if I don't do a lot of talking to them.
  • Twitch is awesome. I think I've made more internet friends through that platform than any other, even MMORPG's.
  • The GOP has become a toxic wasteland of white supremacy and all around bigotry and I am so glad I jumped ship when I did about four years ago.
  • Sea shanties are bops, as are bardcore covers.
  • Facebook may be great for keeping up with friends you haven't seen in a while, but it may also reveal that said friends aren't the kind of people you want to associate with now.
  • If the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gets a Covid-19 vaccine, he will be criticized by members who've bought into various conspiracy theories about vaccines and microchips being the Mark of the Beast and whatnot. I for one, will follow the prophet in being a good global citizen and get vaccinated as soon as my age group is eligible. 
  • My family's holiday season got rather chill and laid back well before we had to isolate from extended family.
  • God is always in control.
