Normal

There is no new normal, just like there was no normal. People were a bit dysfunctional at the best of times, and that's one of the things some are trying to take from them.

No matter what the media, the WHO, scientists, healthcare officials, or the government tells people, there never was any normal to begin with, to compare a new normal to.

Fourth wave

The first wave was novel according to some people, but by the fourth or fifth wave, the media is starting to sound like imbeciles, and so are scientists, helath care workers, government officials, and everybody else trying to warn people over and over again about viruses, restrictions, and mandates.

You wonder if most of the people in their country are as paranoid of the coronavirus as the authoritative voice of the media tells them they are. Are most people thinking about a fourth wave any more than they are thinking about what they would normally think about on a day to day basis? They know life is going to go on no matter what for the ones that make it through every wave.

Thrown game

What the Charlotte Hornets and Carolina Panthers are trying to play against every season. A thrown game, a rigged system.

When one of your opponents has set up a thrown game for you to go against every season, your chances were always unlikely from the beginning. The real underdog was you.

Authenticity

The real shit.

Girl-Check out this bottle of sensory deprivation pills, it helps you clear your head when you want to do shit and have a lot on your mind.

Guy-I don't really need that shit, I'm good.

Girl- I am so much more than the product I am selling, I'm the real deal yo, that's why I say shit like that sometimes. And this shit works. I take it too.

Guy- I know you're trying to sell me authenticity and pills, but really, even if you weren't superficial I wouldn't need it. I really dont need shit from you right now.

Weak

Someone that tries to control a population with threats (or through dramatic, fatal examples). Threats of police brutality aren't the only kind of threats. Threats of stricter restrictions, more rules/laws, more enforcement of rules, more pressure, all to win what exactly?

The bubbly girl wanted to keep everyone around her locked down and restricted, so that instead of her being the outsider, they would all be the outsiders with no access to anything. She was weak, but never suffered any of what went with it the way other people suffered for her instead.

Parade

You would almost think there would be no parades any more, not because of the virus, but because someone would call a parade racist like they did with the statues for not being politically correct enough. No crowd, black, white, yellow, brown (and a red indian or two) would gather, people would just remain divided if there was no parade to go to.

Indians don't have a parade on thanksgiving, so should the rest of us put an end to the parades? Would that somehow right all the wrongs that have been done in this country? If there really was a better way to treat each other, wouldn't people have thought of it and done it before now? What good has hope ever done anybody? Hope is for (and by) the hopeless. Wishing is for what someone hasn't made happen, it's easier to wish for something that isn't likely to happen to happen than it is to go ahead and just make it happen, to get it over with.

Fire sign

Someone who wants everybody else to be mad when they're mad, they dont ever want to be the one everybody is angry with. As long as its somebody else, they want everybody to be mad at somebody.

The guy/girl was a fire sign person who loved to put a shitload of pressure on somebody else when it didn't matter, but didn't want any put on themselves by anybody else, that way he/she didn't have to ever be dependable to anyone, or accountable for anything.
