Let's hope it's better than 2020.
Ok.... what's it like living in the future??

We have spaceships.
And broccoli flavoured icecream.
So, ups and downs.

I'm pretty sure there were more than 365 days in 2020. I demand a recount.

Longest year of my 63 years...and not in a good way.

Two full years in Vietnam don't even compare to being "home" or "back in the world" or "stateside" under these conditions*. I do expect a shit ton of PTSD as this rolls down the pike, and I'm afraid a lot of that will be children.
*Getting blown up, officially dead, and things I won't even mention have some measure of comparison, but in the end it was just me, not EVERYBODY. All I can say to you folks who are experiencing your first true days when Hell is session is that it will get better eventually.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
