EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
Chuds are anxious about people starting to wear masks en masse again and ostracize the people that don't want to wear them, so they're trying to get ahead of the issue to make it look like they are standing up for something they always believed in (unlike the npc leftists)

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
I can't tell if it's real or if it's just Twitter's new algorithm showing me conservative stuff I wouldn't otherwise see, but I've certainly seen talk that there are some new outbreaks and local mask mandates may happen again.

We’re three years into the pandemic. loving nobody wears masks anymore unless they’re currently sick. And if you’re sick and going shopping without a mask you’re definitely an rear end in a top hat

A russian coworker explained this to me as the concept of "vranyo". Russians have "ложь" (lozh') for "lie", which is more or less a regular lie. But then there's враньё (vranyo) which at best is like a white lie, but more often its what you see with Putin's posturing. "I know I'm lying, you know I'm lying, but we're all going to pretend it's the truth and go along with it."

I'm a native speaker and I have never felt that distinction. The terms are used interchangeably, and while you can turn both into verbs, врать is used almost exclusively in common speech, while лгать is more of a fancy literary word. There are also lots of other synonyms for lying, none of which have any special meaning either.

This literally is all stemming from an InfoWars article claiming Biden (who effectively declared COVID over right before the current surge) is reinstituting mandates soon.

I think the latest knowledge fight episode mentioned that mask mandates were ruled unconstitional or something last year? So I don't even know if they can do them on a state level?

There are rumblings in the news about covid numbers going back up and a handful of hospitals and universities have brought back mask mandates. The whole right wing media sphere keys off telling people what to be mad about today and face masks are a golden goose for that.

I'm also a native speaker but not exactly fluent, and this sounds about right. врать and its different forms are what I've heard the most, usually from family members yelling at each other or the news lmao

I am sure am glad we're just going to have mass COVID die offs for the rest of our lives because Biden didn't want to hurt the stock market or exercise the fundamental functions of a state to enforce quarantine and masking.

I think I've seen maybe two people wearing masks in the past couple of weeks, and they were both checkout clerks who come face to face with a shitzillion people every day.

I never stopped wearing mine and by now it's just another article of clothing.

My theory is that conservatives are so loving out of shape that they're already struggling to get enough oxygen, so the tiny, tiny bit that a mask does restrict made them panic. I can't understand why the vitriol was so great and sustained otherwise, it's beyond even just contrarianism..although by now, sure, it's just entrenched as A Thing Shitheads Do.

The event pokemon like Mew have never counted for completion, at least not as far as the in-game "congrats you got them all" certificate goes.

...yes, sometimes? Like I dunno how that's the part of my post that stood out to you, but I apparently have resting bitch face and since I started wearing a mask out and about I haven't had randos telling me to cheer up or give them a smile. I'd venture to say that this is in fact a fairly common experience for people who aren't perceived as cis men!

B/C/S native here. Those two look like “laganje” and “varanje” which mean “lying” and “cheating” respectively. Is there such a distinction in Russian, or are these two full synonyms?

Honestly, there’s probably some racism mixed in. They see mask wearing is a common occurrence in Asian countries like China and Japan and are terrified at the idea of being anything like those people.

I know it's nothing new and is pretty common knowledge now that women deal with this all the time, but I'll never not be just a little shocked and disheartened that people feel free to comment on a random stranger's appearance on a whim. About the only time it seems remotely acceptable (and because this happens to me) is "GOddamn that's a big beard!"

From what I've heard on the Rules of Compliments, you want to compliment what someone chooses rather than what they don't. So "nice shirt" is ok, "nice neck" is RIGHT OUT.

Yeah, unless it's a comment somehow tying clothes to the body wearing them, I feel like complimenting clothes is pretty harmless.

Eh maybe clothes that are potentially worn to flatter or reveal the body shouldn't be commented on either. I'll stick to band shirts or stuff worn by a guy who dresses enough like me that it wouldn't be weird.
