And that's when you're not whining about how the Orange Guy is destroying the country and making your life miserable. So, you're a whiny guy. Why would you want to be a whiny guy? You certainly don't feel good about yourself when you're a whiny guy. We had four years of you incessantly whining about Trump and catastrophizing, and then for 10 months, you bestowed upon us your maximum empathy by adding COVID to the list of things that merit daily reminders of how awful it is right now, mostly because you could hang that around Orange Guy's neck. (As others have noted, you're generally not someone who demonstrates much compassion toward the dead/dying/nearly dead.) How would you have made it through the far worse pandemic a century ago? How would you have made it through the Depression? How would you have made it through the Vietnam era? The threat of thermonuclear war during the worst of the Cold War? As my patron saint, Adam Carolla, once said on Crank Yankers, "I did two tours of duty in 'Nam. You couldn't do one tour with Air Supply."
You seem oblivious to a very basic rule for men: you feed/clothe/shelter/heal the vulnerable before you do any of those for yourself. I know, it's awfully patriarchal, but it is actually one of those things that holds civilizations together. Doing so doesn't make one a "hero." It's sort of one of those bare minimum things. I'm getting the distinct impression that the answer to my question about whether you will take the vaccine before the people in your community who are exponentially more at risk is, "yes." I mean, what kind of gelatinous gob of mosquito dung would do that, as a man? In a rare, hell freezes over moment, Illhan Omar was spot on the other day, calling out some of her millennial colleagues who took those shots. I believe her father or someone close to her of advanced age died this past year. Mind you, many of these twits who took the vaccine first are the same folks who preached the duty of selflessness in wearing masks and so forth.
