      I can’t believe people still act like putting a tiny piece of fabric on your face is even an inconvenience. So fucking dramatic “I can’t imagine living like this” its like living a regular life except sometimes you go an public and you put a little piece of fabric on your face. It’s similar in concept in some ways to how when you go in public you use pieces of fabric to cover your genitals, etc. oh man what a crazy fucking bizarro world can’t even imagine if we had to put fabric on parts of us when interacting in public.

          “fabric” is a generic term and what I used to include all masks, including n95s. Also, you don’t understand risk reduction.

              Why anyone would do proper seatbelting “preventatively” when you have airbags and your car is built with crumple zones and just a low level general risk of getting in what is mostly a fender bender is honestly crazy to me. We now understand how collisions work, where they happen, how to build cars safer (ie with more airbags). There’s no reason to remain so scared anymore.

              Edit for context: I don’t literally think this, I was mocking something from the removed comment

        a lot of people have anxiety/panic disorders, and putting a mask on causes a feeling that they can’t breathe even though it actually adds very little resistance if any. i’m one of those people, and i never got used to it after having to use them at work for a year. luckily i don’t live in a densely populated area, so nobody wears them anymore and i don’t have to either.

        I don’t think any of you online mask warriors are actually wearing them in public. I live in New York and no one is, so I assume that this is just another part of your generation’s perpetually online fantasy existence.

          You’re right. If I don’t see it, it’s not real. There’s snow in my backyard so global warming is a hoax. /S

          Assuming that everyone on the internet is a liar because the truth would be inconvenient? Seems a bit like projection to me

          I can’t imagine that’s at all true, it just probably doesn’t register for you because it’s not at all a big deal. I’m in Boston and I still see plenty of people regularly masking. A minority to be sure, but still substantial. And I even sometimes do myself if I feel a little sniffly, just to be safe. At the end of the day, it’s shocking how many people are infantile little bitch babies about wearing a fucking mask.

            I’ve had 3 vaccines and I stay home if I’m sick. I’m not wearing a mask just because. Even if self righteous online bullies want me to.

          I live in Seattle and see masks everywhere I go. Can’t go to a grocery store without seeing a bunch of people masked up.
