Are masks just symbolic of the whole effort to control the virus, or is there something specific about masks themselves that are driving these people crazy?

masks aren't for the virus, they're a deep-state attempt to create a culture of mindless compliance through social engineering

I notice that ants actually ignore the expensive traps brands like raid but get quickly addicted to terro.

There's a bunch of ants in my bathroom and I put out terro and those stupid bastards are swarming it and I know what's coming

this must be what god feels like
maybe he just thinks we're a bunch of icky things mucking up his place

but goddamn ants really love terro

FYI you can just put out a little bowl of borox and powder sugar and save yourself $$

But yeah same here my dude. I actually have lived in my apartment for 7 years and never seen an ant once before and thought I was super lucky because I've dealt with them in past living situations and it sucks; but recently the bathroom has had intermittent ants coming out of god knows where swarming parts, disappearing for days, coming back, etc. I have absolutely no idea what the gently caress they're eating because I always keep it pretty clean but I guess there could be some colorless mold in a corner near the tub or something? Idk. It might be because it's been really warm all of a sudden and way too early for it to be this hot, who knows.

I put out a basically same terro trap so we'll see.

that'd be a great grift to live in a cheap location but keep the SF salary
when my old company relocated a bunch of people from CA to Austin they kept their CA salaries but were put on the TX pay scale

so basically, you didn’t get a pay cut but you were ineligible for annual raises unless you got promoted

In the 1918 pandemic there was an “anti-mask league” in San Fransico

quote:

But not everyone was on board. Hordes of scofflaws were caught not wearing or incorrectly wearing masks. More than 100 people were rounded up and charged with "disturbing the peace" shortly after the measure went into place and were fined $5 on one day in October. Most cases were dismissed, and the proceeds went to support the American Red Cross.

In another incident, a public health officer for the city shot and severely wounded a man for not wearing a mask in late October, the San Francisco Chronicle reported at the time.

The mandates were largely effective, although city officials, believing the worst was behind them, lifted restrictions. But a spike in cases after the New Year in 1919 prompted the Board of Supervisors to re-enact the mandatory mask ordinance. By that time, the patriotic fervor that influenced compliance had waned.

That's when the Anti-Mask League was formed.

"People are tired of living under these restrictions, both the wartime restrictions as well as the epidemic control measures," Navarro said. "That's why that general grumbling about wearing masks spilled over into an actual organized protest movement in San Francisco."

Navarro believes the group had only one meeting in late January, which was attended by about 2,000 people who did not wear masks (although organizers at the time claimed that the number was more than twice that). Mrs. EC Harrington, who was identified as the group's chairman, urged the city Board of Supervisors to give residents "speedy relief" from the "burdensome" requirement, according to board's meeting minutes.
The group included influential business and community leaders, including a member of the Board of Supervisors, and "were able to organize fairly quickly because there'd been a lot of opposition to the mask order the first time," Navarro said.

Weeks later, the city's mayor rescinded the mask order after the persistent protests. In the end, the city recorded 45,000 cases and more than 3,000 deaths from fall 1918 to winter 1919, according to research by the Center for the History of Medicine.

Basically refusing to comply with even mild inconveniences even in the face of death is baked into Americas DNA and is what makes us so exceptional
