Reopening

Extensions in restrictions aren't just affecting the business owners, since the customers end up donating to a lot of businesses to help keep them from closing.
The extensions in restrictions and trying to keep reopening from happening is fucking with a lot of people's lives, people who are not sick and have taken the virus seriously.

Relationship

Nothing changed about what a relationship was since the 20th century. In a relationship, two people spend time together in real life, do things together, and so on. Time spent online talking to somebody online is not a relationship.
Someone you talked to online is not a boyfriend/girlfriend in the 21st century anymore than in the 20th century or before. Talking to somebody on a computer is not a relationship with another person.

Astrology

One of the things people are skeptical about with astrology is hearing about things like a rat standing on the back of an ox while playing a flute to win a race. Though some scientist asshole with too much time on his/her hands would likely try and train a rat to play a flute, just to prove it wasn't impossible, to be an asshole, or for who knows what military purpose they might try and get a scientist to do something like that the reality is a guy working in the sewer isn't going to come across a rat playing a flute every day. If rats were really such winners, why would they spend so much of their time in the sewer in the first place?
Astrology seems like another thing people created to categorize and control other people rather than help them understand who they and people around them really are, kind of like god, the devil, angels, demons, and everything else in religion. Calling it a pseudoscience implies that science itself isn't another way to control people by giving them answers that sound good (and that real science is somehow more responsible because it sounds more responsible), instead of leaving them with questions about the world around them. There's a lot of bullshit that goes with any/all of it.

Posing

Portraying yourself as something other than who you are.
You are not your grandmother you never met, the other people you've been imitating most of your life, or anybody else you've been posing as. You're you, even if you'd rather be those other people.

Peer pressure

You dont get sick from peer pressure, you get sick from pathogens. You dont go to the doctor because of peer pressure, you go because you are sick. Wearing a mask is no different. You dont decide whether to wear a mask because of peer pressure, you decide to wear a mask or not wear one based on whether you're sick.
Peer pressure doesn't change whether someone is sick or not, therefore it should never influence what someone wears on their face or head.

Yoruba

The girl started speaking Yoruba, which happened to be one of the favorite languages of the professor who had big ambitions to become the next womanizing dictator of his country. As a collector of females phone numbers, the professor would get suckered into being blind to the girl's attempts to stroke his ego.

Blind

50 men in this village once had 20/20 vision , until Ashton decided she didn't like the way they looked at her, and had their eyes burned out. They are now blind.
