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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Belarus

A country that isn't going to fully become a dictatorship even if some of the people in Belarus start begging to have their sporting events and public gatherings canceled.

Belarusians- Please, we have had too many rights and laughed about the coronavirus too long, now please take our social lives, we want to freak out over the coronavirus like everyone else, we want to take it beyond seriously like everyone else.

Belarusian leaders- We're not gonna do that, we're gonna keep everything more open than everybody else while they call us the dictators from their locked down, isolated countries. Try and laugh about that.

Belarusians- We're begging you, dont do this to us, please don't.
