it’s interesting to see how common it is for people in NYC to still wear them sometimes, especially when on the subway (the air is shitty, so it makes sense).

I doubt it will be much of a problem here, except for those who always refused. yeah, it sucks, but it’s a lot better than getting sick— or dying.

    I have wealthy lib family members who live in NYC. One recently asked my spouse, who is an RN regularly exposed to this deadly virus thanks to liberal/fascist anti-maskers, if covid was still a thing.

    ??? someone sharing their personal anecdote with you is trolling? what the fuck is your problem?

    At the risk of sounding paranoid, the person you're talking to shows more indicators of being paid to post than anyone I've yet encountered.

    At least I hope they are, the alternative is too bleak to contemplate

    Got my xibux baby. $3000/month + health care and free kung pao chicken, all for dunking on libs on a tiny website nobody knows about from the comfort of my own home. What’s not to like? “Once we trick the foolish Americans into masking again by posting personal anecdotes on obscure websites…then the dawn of communism will have truly begun!”

    I'd say the same but there's clearly no helping you

    I assure you were are unfailingly sincere. If we were trolling there'd be more emojis.

    Foul! Implying the presence of a mental illness as an insult. 10 points from Gryffindor!

    DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.

    especially when on the subway (the air is shitty, so it makes sense).

    Man, having had easy access to some sort of mask for a long time now, I keep finding little situations where historically I'd be like "man, I wish I didn't have to breath this shit, it can't be good for me" where I just don't breath those things anymore...

    I'm trying to think of good examples but the only one that comes to mind is that in the rare instance I need to use bug spray I'm always glad I have a mask I can wear in case it floats my way.

    funny you say this… I often think, “have I been breathing this shit this whole time?” when I pull off a mask I’ve been wearing in the subway to wash it, and all this grime washes out
