I just fired off an email to my daughter. She's been pretty down because of the Covid bullshit, especially about the masking, and I've been trying to console her (dunno if it's working). Maybe "console" is the wrong word. I'm trying to help her adjust her world view. Here's what I wrote:

 

I was resting on the couch and asking myself why I lost interest in watching TV. I waited a long time for Stargirl to return for the the second season but I only watched half of the first episode. I also stopped watching The Flash and Lois & Clark. The thing is, these shows take place in an alternate universe of superpowers and superscience but they maintained an air of familiarity by looking and feeling like the real universe. Unfortunately, the comforting familiarity has been lost due to the insanity of the last two years. That nobody is living in fear of a mythical virus seems more fantastical than the laser eyes. The superhero masks don't help either.

 

Unless proven otherwise, everybody is an actor reading from a script. It's like that episode of Supernatural. You discover that nobody actually has an opinion that doesn't come from the TV or Twitter. You have to avoid conversation because you know that you're just talking to an automaton. It didn't seem that way before, did it? You thought everybody had their own opinions but it turns out that they've all been fooling you. Perhaps that is why I've avoided cultivating any long term friendship. I don't even talk to that bugger Steve anymore. He's an empty vessel like everybody else. My roommates only repeat what they see on CNN. Trump is this or Trump is that. Now that Trump is out of the picture, they have nothing to say anymore. Matt came down a week ago and started complaining about the cost of food and gas. I just stared at him as he went away mumbling about the government. What would be the point of trying to explain anything to him?

 

The world as we thought we knew it has ceased to exist. What will replace it, I don't know.

>Let your wife or sister console her because, Iโ€™m pretty sure women dont think like that.

I think you missed the point. She has nobody to turn to except her dad (I raised her). I don't know where her better half is on this. I imagine that she's got him on her side but she hasn't really explained except to say that he doesn't want to talk much.

>Sometimes they just need you to listen without input.

I understand what you're saying but she isn't actually talking. She takes days to answer an email so it looks like I'm the one who has to do the talking. She likely knows me more than she knows herself.

>It seems sheโ€™s having more of a relationship problem with her boyfriend.

Perhaps she no longer regards him as a soulmate. I don't know.

>Iโ€™m not at all criticizing you, a valiant effort was made

I posted the email because I thought it might strike a chord with anons. It is not representative of my relationship with her. We have had many many hours of face-to-face discussion but getting together has been more difficult lately. Email cannot replace personal encounters.

Using only the flow of water, these Ancient Inca whistling vessels known as 'huascos' mimic various animal calls. These ancient ceramic whistling bottles have been dated as far back as 500 BC..

>Iโ€™ve been the heretic on masks

It makes me proud that she's courageous enough to be the only bare-faced individual on a bus full of masked covidiots. She hasn't told me whether she still does that. Maybe they broke her. I'll need to inquire about it.

>So what is Ukraine a distraction from.

From the collapsing Covid narrative. It gives the political pundits something to bloviate about while ignoring anything important. It's fun to talk about war with Russia. At least, until Russia makes a fool out of everybody. Remember how it went with Georgia? Kek. Russia can just walk in and take Ukraine while NATO and the US just gape. We shall see.
