i haven't gotten any actual negative interactions over my masking but people do ask me if i have covid and i really want to know what the chain of logic is where the guy who wears a fullface respirator is more likely to get sick than other people rather than less

they were told 2 years ago that wearing masks is for the protection of other people, so it follows logically that the more hardcore the mask, the more severe your covid infection

An unmasked guy held a door open for me and I gestured that I could get it myself, which made him flip out and yell about my “little bitch rear end mask.“ He was probably just nuts and used an obvious thing to attack me, so I considered it to be a bullying incident with mask and not of mask.

what's the problem with wearing proper flying gear btw? it's just for everyone's safety & comfort

elastomerics are scary/threatening.

no fly zone poo poo. (*I think I've heard one or two claims that goons were allowed to fly wearing one)

Sometimes they don't want me to hold the door for them so I don't.

I don't think it's a chud thing? It's just door holding. Idk. Maybe having your door held for you turns you gay somewhere.

I took a trip on a train instead of flying last weekend, and despite the mask mandate for transportation ostensibly being the same for both them and planes, Amtrak does not give a gently caress about what you wear going in or while in transit. Whether the more sensible option is an hour crammed into a plane while wearing a disposable or seven hours in a spacious train car while wearing a elastomeric is up to the goon’s discretion.

It’s definitely seen as a sort of masculine thing to hold the door for people in some parts of the US, but lol at the idea of it being a “chud thing” as if the proper leftist move is to just let it slam on someone because ~society~

Are their any options for a half face respirator that doesn't have a condensation valve? My boss has announced she is not happy with the occasional drip, and while I'm trying to keep things clean and dry as possible, I kinda need another mask. Any suggestions?

Advantage MSA 900. I have a spare medium if interested. But you may have more success with the dessicant option.

I just say thank you then I'd hold the next door open for them. if this is not possible, i'll defer to them & let them get priority to talk to the host / get their carry-out order first or whatever. if this isn't possible i immediately stop thinking about it.

flipping poo poo on someone about it is weird, door holding being a power thing is weird,

Every school I visit in the county has one of these signs! I sort of wonder about the messaging to the kids because there are other signs with rules
that you are expected to follow.

One school has one of those Heroes Work Here signs and I don't like it. The principal is a nice guy and he means well but it's kind of awkward.

maybe people are becoming worse drivers because they've been taught to ignore signs and that the science changes week to week
which is another problem with "trust the science" or "follow the science" as an excuse to aboutface on dipshitted policies whenever convenient.

it turns out "the science" covers a lot of different fields/topics

Housemate is doing a "burst" of open biden. Some real reckless don't give a gently caress yolo behavior the past week. She apologized today, and said she was closing biden shortly.

I suppose if it helps her mental health out, that's great and good.

I'll let yall know if I get roni'd from it. (Cases seem low in my state, even on Walgreens tracker (:rubby:) - even though it's popping in states surrounding me. I don't trust it, but we were way lower in our % sequenced BA.2 when I last looked at it weeks ago)

I can't imagine being a parent during this poo poo. Someone said the other day something like "not having a kid is covid easy mode", and they're right (although poo poo is still not easy)

I thought everybody knew if you’re a guy and another guy holds the door for you and you accept then you’ve let that guy sexually dominate you. The doorway represents gayness and by walking though it you’re like submitting. It goes back to some photo that went viral on Facebook of a Marine holding the door for Obama. The reason that guy flipped out is because that’s just what guys do if you decline their sexual advances. I agree it’s a silly rule but it is what it is.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

My birthday is coming up so I've been having to explain to my family all over again that if they want to come visit they have to bring a mask and that I'm not interested in going out somewhere for a sit down meal.

UPDATE: Dad just drove down to my house for my birthday and wore a surgical mask inside for literally 2 seconds before peeling it off and leaving it off even though I asked him to put it back on. He insisted he didn't have the virus, I asked if he'd been tested today because that's the only way he'd be able to know he didn't have it and he said he'd never taken a covid test throughout the entire pandemic. Unassailable logic! I guess this means I got to see a real live "If you don't test you wont have cases" happen right in my house which was a wonderful birthday gift which I will cherish.
He'd brought a cheap-rear end birthday cake and a pack of candles from the supermarket and I told him not to bother putting the candles on the cake, I wasn't going to take off my respirator so I wouldn't be able to blow them out or eat any of the cake. He cut a slice of cake for himself and ate it and told me to give the rest to my housemates.

The utterly weird thing is that he wasn't doing any of this out of spite or chud smuggery or malice, he was still chatting away merrily and telling me stories about his cat and other stuff the whole time. He's aware that cases and deaths are still happening locally but all that just seems to be a story on the news as far as he's concerned and he's personally disconnected from the whole thing.
I can't even blame him for thinking that, the government and the local news media have been thoroughly downplaying covid for weeks now. I'm just disappointed that it didn't even occur to him to just humour me and put the mask back on for my comfort. :(
