THE ***OFFICIAL***COVID-19 Silver Lining thread.

I loved how much time I had to spend with my elderly dog.

Another: My parents are hardcore Republicans and tell me to fuck off all the time. However, I never let it get too intense to cut them off. Everyone is entitled to there opinion/delusion.

My company finally had to give in on allowing telework, because they could no longer claim the employees weren’t as effective working from home.

COVID made it easier to end already strained relationships with crazy friends and relatives. Haven't heard a peep from the argumentative "Reopen everything, it only kills old people" brigade since we lost an elderly relative to COVID, for example.

I've always thought that hotels and restaurants should be cleaner. I hope they continue the deep-cleaning practices they've been forced to do after the pandemic is over.

Though I already see food preparers w/o masks again, so my hopes aren't too high.

I learned how to cook and enjoy fresh, simple food again. Haven’t been to a Jack in the Crack, McDs, or Booger King in almost two years.

I figured out I was able to cut my own hair so now I am saving all of that money I was spending on haircuts before.

Me too, r7. Not the greatest precision but short and passable. If there is an obvious mistake, wear a hat for a week. It grows out.

R6, I wish I could say the same. I still don't like cooking, so haven't taken it up. I guess I can say that I've helped support the local restaurant industry with take-out orders.

I find "curb-side pickup" to be a silver lining that I hope stores/restaurants continue that as it's wonderful in the winter.

Thrilled to get a pass on socializing with acquaintances that showed their true deplorable/antiVaxx/AntiCovid colors.

traveling for work was getting very stressful

You-know-who didn't get re-elected due to his denial/mishandling of pandemic

I doubt that, R12. If it were so, down ballot Republicans would’ve suffered the same fate. Trump more likely lost because his support among suburban woman had already cratered beyond repair.

I found away to cut down on buying all the overpriced food in the markets. I buy frozen Wild non-GMO frozen fish fillets from Costco (salmon, mahi swordfish, etc.) and eat one filet for dinner along with a fresh salad and I found many delicious recipes. It’s cheap too:: $18/for12 individually vacuum-packed portions. It’s healthier and cheaper.

Yes, it was white suburban women that took a leap of faith for the Straight White Male and instead got a good, hard DP fuck instead. I’m loving it. Bitches goin’ learn the hard way.

Wow, the jobs that are available today reminds me of Petty’s ‘Into The Great Wide Open’. That song has been in my head all day.
