What has the pandemic made you grateful for?
Not living in some shoebox in the city. Holy shit am I glad I didn’t move like I planned.

On top of that I’ve done really well financially in the last year. Tons of savings that won’t reenter the economy anytime soon :)

I also now have insight into which neighbours are dangerous in the event of a real crisis, which would will rat me out to the government for not following every rule, and the ones I can actually trust.

What's more, the New Normal regime is ironically shooting itself in the foot further with this in the long term as, now that a lot of people are working from home, there's greater potential for folks to take up educating their children themselves.
People genuinely thought that schooling was like it was before 2000. Its so much worse, and staffed absolutely terribly. Math has been radicalized into being anti-racial in some districts.

The uprising of homeschoolers. Thanks to online schooling, parents everywhere have been finding out just what exactly their kids are being taught in the brainwashing camps known as the public education system for the first time, and many are undoubtedly fucking mortified.
My wife educates our daughter with very little of my help, we're lucky to be able to have that level of control over our lives. People should educate themselves on their options when it comes to home schooling. There are ~$500 computer services that do a lot of the work for you provided the wife or husband sits with the kid and previews the lesson the day before. The spouse can learn with the child, one at teaching and the other at learning. Its very doable and rewarding knowing you are in control of your children's future rather than a crazy bright-hair who hates themselves and takes it out on the children passive-aggressively.

The student loans being on hold bought me time. I just paid off two credit cards.

On account of the government fucking tons of people, we now have a lot less virgins.

Hooray...?

More seriously, it made perma-remote positions more abundant than they were before. I was able to get one of those, which paid better than my previous job and had some more benefits on top of that.

I've quite enjoyed how easily it's separated the proverbial wheat from chaff when it comes to interacting with people. It was a very grim realization at first (due to the sheer volume of the latter vs the former), but I'm ultimately glad and better off for knowing now. "Sheeple" never sounded so real and true as it does after the last year..holy shit.

I'm going to college and I took precalculus this semester. Because of COVID and being exclusively online, my math teacher made us into a test class where we were allowed to work in groups and submit team exams. As much as I hated wrangling those bunch of tards and haranguing them to submit their work on time, having three other people to bounce answers off of on the final netted me a 98%, which I definitely wouldn't have gotten in physical class where we work alone and monitored.

Oh, and theres gonna be a lot of girls who'd have picked up nerdier interests I might be able to meet and get to know once those kinds of events and meets boot back up. The search for the mythical autistic gf continues.

Online friends being actually fun to hang out with.

Also my family's personal lives are hardly affected thankfully.

I got to watch baby robins grow up last April. A mother robin decided to build her nest close to my home and I'd frequently go outside just to look. She didn't mind, seemed to trust me.

Watched the little guys grow from helpless little hatchlings living off mommy's vomit to adults.

Think one of them returned to start her family. Saw an attempt at a nest in the same spot this year. Sadly, it got torn apart by wind. The bird even chirped at me like she remembered me. Was tempted to help her remake the nest.

The fact that I've spent almost an entire year in e-learning was bad for my social skills but also pretty good for my sanity considering how far the uni is.

Also this is purely hypothetical, but if people start dropping dead from the vaccine, or just sterile, then I'd be a much happier person.
In a world of idiots, the best case scenario is the idiots dropping dead, and the second best scenario is the idiots being unable to reproduce.

The things it has exposed:
  • The petty tyrants and mindless NPC drones in our midst
  • The utter worthlessness of bread and circus like celebrities, professional sports, and Current Year pop culture
  • The implosion of the credibility of Experts™️, the media, and the managerial class.

I'm sure it's been brought up but work/learn from home rules. No more spending tons of time on mind-numbing administrative housekeeping shit, and you can just challenge tests immediately or otherwise study at your own pace. And you can use the time saved on stuff you already knew to bone up on the stuff you find genuinely hard.

Not much but being able to save lots of money with my wfh job has been nice. Also with all of this I had plenty of time to reevaluate my social life, what mattered and what I should appreciate next time we are able to go back to normal.

Best part is that there is no virus and people are waking up to the truth every day.
Nah son. Muh variants. Widespread vaccination will mean nothing to the overall narrative except for more "SALUTE ARE GLOBAL CORPS FOR HELPING!!!", mark my words.

The vaccines will make people retarded and its going to be genetic as well. Watch the IQ in white nations plummet to the level of non white nations, wouldn't surprise me if western countries will have the same average IQ as some other non white countries like Italy or Russia. The amount of neurological problems this vaccine causes will be massive, soon it will be new the normal for late 30s and 40 year olds to have alzheimer's.

Dunno where you get your infos but Italy has one of the highest average IQs at 101-102, easily the smartest Caucasian country, and Russia sitting comfortably at 97 isn't too retarded either.
