Yes, they are. There have been multiple studies on this and there are innate personality types that gravitate to political views. Of course there are exceptions, but there is a certain core percentage of the population that's just that way. Fox News is less teaching people than it is pressing buttons that already exist.

All of my nightmares revolve around me being somewhere and realizing that I'm not wearing a mask, and then I have to sneak back to my car or apartment to get it.

The last few days, they've been where I'm somewhere and I can't even get to a mask so I have to sit there and deal with being around the infectoids.

i'll trade you, I keep getting increasingly elaborate "oh god i'm unconscious and on a vent and going to die if I don't wake up, I have to wake up quick!" nightmares where i'm trapped in a horrifying, actively decaying silent hill version of my apartment where no matter what I do I can't get the front door to stay closed but maybe if I shoulder slam the door hard enough I can keep the grim spectre of death out of my living room long enough to figure out how to wake myself up

Since this thing isn't going away, it's well past time I upgraded my mask situation. So far I've depend on home-made cloth masks and blue surgical masks.

What is the current mask advice?

Are there any reusable cloth masks people would recommend for large heads?
Or should I depend on N95/KN95 masks only? (Which is better?)

Any recommended vendors/brands?

I'm not around people often at all and would prefer not to use a respirator. Thanks in advance.

A mask is only as good as its seal on your face, N95s are only approved with straps that go around your head for good reason.

I never feel like I have a good seal with KN95s and ear straps, they leak especially bad on the bridge of my nose

the study shows that there's a physical neurological response.

do you think that environmental factors can change their brain response

do you think a change in environment factors such as different media consumption would change that response

your first link literally says this:

One of the study’s authors, Ryota Kanai, cautioned against jumping to conclusions. The scientists found nothing to indicate that political orientation is encoded in the brain, or that brain structure alone can shape the way you vote.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:

There is plausible and justifiable reason for a person to be suspicious of the exact numbers China has declared for COVID, sure. As a general rule you can probably always assume that any organization or individual, unless you know them personally, is going to always exaggerate things a little to present themselves in the best light, that's normal. But the thing is, there is literally no plausible way to deny that China has gotten COVID under control. We know the methods China is using, and we know these are methods that absolutely can and should work. If someone wants to claim that the situation in China is starkly different from what China is claiming, then they have to either provide an explanation for how and why it is that despite using all the proper NPIs China is still seeing mass death and uncontrolled spread, or else how and why it is that despite the Western media making such a big deal out of the draconian lockdowns and quarantines and authoritarian contact tracing measures, China's actually not employed meaningful NPIs and is in fact taking the same non-approach as the West.

To my knowledge, no denialist has ever done either. They claim that China is enacting these NPIs that any sane person with half a brain knows would work against basically any and every disease that isn't like in the water supply or something, and yet somehow claim that China is still seeing uncontrolled spread just as bad as the rest of the world.

There is literally no way to deny the broad strokes of China's claims without denying either the germ theory of disease or that China has enacted certain measures, measures so widely accepted that nearly all of these denialists have also spent much time and energy decrying them as authoritarian.

I posted this before and this thread moves too fast so here it is again:

My inlaws in China have not experienced any of these draconian measures, neither has the vast majority of the population. Their town has never had a single case of Covid. They've never been obliged to wear a mask in public. They've never had a lockdown, or the closure of any businesses or public gatherings and they've never worked from home. They don't know anyone who's ever had Covid. They know one person who personally knows of one person who had it and recovered, in some other province. The only way their lives have been touched by the pandemic at all are that they have contact tracing apps on their phone that they sometimes need to use for public gatherings and transport, they got vaccines, with pretty much no side effects (inactivated virus vaccines usually don't have any), and for a period in 2020, schools went virtual - this was a national policy with no exceptions, even in places that don't have a single case, I guess the Chinese just don't care about education the way Americans do.

This is what "draconian measures" look like. The whole loving point of enforcing strict quarantine measures for a small subset of the population that gets infected is so that they don't go on to infect exponentially more people and cause exponentially bigger draconian lockdowns. Like even reading about NZ's "draconian" lockdowns, apparently a lot of their positive cases are from family members of people who test positive? In China just recently a 4 year old child was found to be positive and she was locked in a room immediately and her meals are brought in by healthcare workers in hazmat suits. Why would she be allowed to return to her family, so that they too will become infected and thus require more quarantines? The entire western world, even NZ, apparently forgets how diseases work as soon as you do something draconian like make them stay in a room alone for a week away from their mommies.

respirator and cartridge data dump, all weights in grams :crabdrugs:

3M 2297, p100 w/ nuisance organic vapor rating. killer for wildfire smoke here in :ca: or catboxes or other stinky things, great for general shop grinding/sanding particulate use, helps a bit with random solvents for parts cleaning etc. but pick something stronger for real paint booth type use, packs small, fits under a welding hood well, not ideal for washdown or rain etc, but Real Nice. costs a couple bucks more than the basic 2091/2097 pink pancake, but breathes easier and still cheap at :10bux: a set. pre-pandemic use this is my favorite all-around filter.

~20g a pair, standard 3m bayonet mount for 6000/7000 series





3M 7093, p100 with hard shell housing, good for washdown/water and the preferred filter for pandemic/medical/bio use, weights a bit more, easy to wipe down for decon, easy neg. pressure checks, less vulnerable to physical hazards like sharp corners/tearing than the 2xxx style pancakes. 7093B is apparently the same thing in (B)ulk packaging.

~73g a pair, standard 3m bayo mount





3M 7093C, p100 with Hydrogen Fluoride, and nuisance level organic vapor/acid gas. slightly taller and heavier than the basic 7093, may be more Cool Zone or random chemical hazards appropriate, filter material looks to have a bit of screen/wire over the paper filter media internally, otherwise basically the same dang thing.

~92g a pair, std. bayo mount





3M 60926, multi gas/vapor cartridge with p100, the goddamn Cadillac of 3M carts. heavy, expensive, and mad overkill for simple bio hazards, but some Good poo poo to have in reserve. the 60923 cart. is usually cheaper and nearly as good if it's what you can find/afford, but has less broad-spectrum protection for vapors/gases from solvents/fumes/expired tear gas/dangerous poo poo/etc.

for both of these once you take them out of the pack, the charcoal/catalysts start chooching off whatever exposure they can find in the air, so keep 'em sealed in a ziploc when not in use.

~300g a pair, maybe ~290 minus packaging but these fuckers stay sealed unless needed so IDK. they are dang heavy tho. standard bayo mount.



3M D3091, p100 for Secure Click masks. the new hotness, cute pink, pretty light, easy breathing. no protection from vapors/gases, but a solid everyday p100. they feel pretty resistant to tearing/physical damage, but I haven't tried to gently caress one up on purpose. good stuff for particulates/smoke or everyday bio-hazardous coworkers, etc.

~30g a pair, secureclickTM mount for HF-800 series masks





3M 80923, OV/AG/p100 for SecureClick, not as good as the 80926 but cheaper and still solid. plastic cart may be better in the rain than the plain p100 carts, but I haven't tried yet.

~250g a pair



3M 80926, multi gas/vapor/p100 for SecureClick. top-tier protection for all airborne threats, but likely mad overkill most days and heavy to boot.

~290g a pair




okay that's all well and good to have nice filters, but you need the dang respirator to strap them to yr face! here we go.

3M 6000 series, basic hardware store/shop model, works fine, a 6200 lives at work in a top toolbox, probably not as comfy on yr face as upgraded models but still solid esp. if it's free. front vent. does allow use of stock 3M item #604 for a source control/exhale filter, if that's yr bag (and you can find one). also probably fits those sweet etsy skelly-bones add-ons, for sickos :sickos:

comes in 6100(small), 6200 (med) 6300(large)

~???g, it's at work and it's the weekend, but I'll maybe try and remember to bring my scale in later.



3M 6501QL, size Small 6500 series, quick latch. a really nice mask, the QL version is great for letting the respirator dangle from it's straps while talking to a co-worker in the before-times, or having a quick water break, etc. nice stuff, uses the bayo mount carts, you probably want the 6502 for size Medium, unless you know otherwise. also comes in 6503/Large for big schnozzes like my dad. my 6502QL has been my go-to work hazard/wildfire smoke/car bailout respirator for years now and is still solid. bottom vent, glasses/goggles never fog and fit on the nose okay-ish mostly

110g for the size small, the med is obv. a bit more but ???



3M 7502, size med 7500 series. a slight comfort upgrade from the 6500, but no quick latch for coffee breaks, not that it matters as much now. fits bayos, bottom vent, etc.

134g.



3M 6800 (medium) full face. it's like a dang glove, for your whole face. neat, sweaty, heavy. no speaking diaphragm, that's even heavier and more $$. bottom vent.

409g.





3M HF-802, secure click medium. a bit bulkier, heavier, and my stash of old 3m filters don't fit, goddang it! however it is pretty comfy, my nose does breathe better, neg. pressure checks are sweet and the speech diaphragm seems pretty decent. you should probably just skip to getting this, if you want something better at hand than a 3m aura n95/kf94/kn95.

190g.





honorable mention: the GVS Elipse/Miller LPR-100, a compact p100 mask that packs away great. ~44g filters, ~140g loaded respirator, ~250g packed with case and spare filters. it's not as comfortable for me as the 3m's, but man is it nice for a fire/etc bailout kit.










also: safety glasses! if you are so inclined, or also happen to work with machine tools, and/or if you don't wanna go full goggle, you can get 'em with foam face seals now, that while not gas-tight are quite likely better for a sneeze and def. better for random bouncing chips/grinding crud/crawling around under a car. I like the 3m Virtua and Solus ones, although the solus lenses only really fit my face with the goggle strap, not the standard arms. anti-fog wet wipes are kinda-sorta required but I usually only need a couple a week, if I'm working with well sealing masks/respirators.







in conclusion :bagl:

lol that describes this poo poo perfectly

it's a really good analogy. i don't think most people realize how much they write off as magic and don't understand. there's all these people questioning the science about the vaccine, complaining that they don't understand it, and doing so on a phone that they understand literally nothing about. people don't know how cars work, or how planes stay in the air, or how a refrigerator makes things cold, or how anything with electricity functions. everything is just magic to them, it works because it does, there are no underlying unseen mechanisms to understand, just the reality that they can physically manipulate. if everything else is magic, then maybe the magic will also extend to things like covid.
