So I've had a pretty rough time through the shutdown. I'm a pretty social guy, and I need human interaction to stay sane. Not only did the shutdown really stifle me, but during quarantine I lost both my girlfriend and my best friend in the span of a few weeks (for mostly unrelated reasons). I was hoping with college starting I would be able to meet new people, but the social distancing crap has made it really difficult. It's frustrating because the pro-shutdown crowd seem totally oblivious to the fact that their policies are hurting people. Heck, I knew a guy who killed himself, and I don't know the specifics, but I do know he was also a social guy and this was also really weighing down on him too.

Not to be a total downer of course. Throughout you guys have been a lot of fun and have taught me to laugh at all the stupidity life sends my may. I just love the positivity and high energy of this site. I know it's silly seeing as none of us will likely ever meet in person, but I just wanted to let y'all (and the devs of course) know how awesome this site really is.
