with such a tragic disease, if anything reduces the chances of suffering from it, it should be investigated without delay.

Viagra does obviously affect your circulation pretty substantially so it's not unreasonable for it to have side effects not previously discovered

the thing is we have a ton of drugs that manipulate your circulation already, one would think that there must be loads of information available from them that apply equally to men and women. It may be they just haven't been looking at the data in the right way. This is where AI can get of it's ass and actually do some good

And why does no-one question why Liam is so awkward?

I do ponder. One ponders.

Human Beings will always have bias.

I know that I do, mine I don't really see as a prejudice thing as such, but more certain personality traits that grab me more than others.

Plus first impressions will swing anyone's opinion of someone, and if it's a bad first impression, then it's going to take that individual to do something really impressive to turn it around for the other person.

That's my opinion anyway.

What the worst year of my life was. 2020-21 had a lot of low moments and crushing experiences but they were ultimately character-building and there was a lot of good stuff as well (and lockdown was a peaceful breather). 2019 was just pure garbage from start to finish and the year when I had literally no money. Through every fault of my own. I’m just glad it’s not 2019. I’d have to go back to 2014-15 to find a dodgier period in my life. 2019 had more freedom and that’s it. Then Covid came and I was finally able to just ponder healthily and ooze out a little bit. Taking the right kind of time for myself. I know the pandemic was hard on people but all-in-all that was just not my experience. Things were worse for me before than during Covid. A lot, lot worse.

Late 2020 to 2021 was bittersweet. Some good, some very bad. But again that’s nothing to do with Covid and everything to do with my own actual personal life trajectory, which is way more important to me than whatever latest crisis is going on in the world. That’s not how I judge my life. Covid was just another thing. In 2016 it was Brexit, in the late ’10s it was terror attacks and ISIS, in 2020 it was Covid. But life was still life. I ponder why so many people get so overly attached to the things of the world and use that to decide for themselves how they should view their lives. I just find it pathetic and cliched.



I understand, Mock. First impressions do count but just remember that still waters run deep and stuff. You can’t judge a person’s whole life story for all the years/decades they’ve been alive based on an initial appearance or anything, really, short of actually getting to know them. We all make presumptions but it’s a habit we all need to get out of when it’s not necessary.

Oh I agree with you that you need to get to know the person, to just make sure that your first impression was either right or wrong, it's just some people don't have that attitude unfortunately.

And to go to your other point, my least favourite periods in my life were either the last few months of last year, or 2016 as a whole, I really didn't enjoy those periods.

And to add, I agree with you that Covid shouldn't be the be all and end all to what's an individual person's worst year, because it should always depend on your own circumstances as to why a year is your favourite or least favourite.
