Seriously, you don't know the circumstance and yet you're all; If you aren't wearing a mask we all gunna DIE!

No way!
Instead of 2 or 3 cloth masks, I use a mask made of solid plastic.
Nothing is getting through that baby! (You gotta admit that statement is true).

You've posted this several times. How does someone who wears a mask while driving effect you? Let it go. Foolish is not wearing a mask.

I think you might want to take some of your own advice. The mask vs no mask debate is pointless at this point. Those who believe masks help at reducing the spread are wearing them. Those who don't, aren't and simply aren't going to be swayed to believe they're helpful. It's pointless to continue the discussion with those who are set in their ways and have no intention of changing their belief regardless the amount of info you put in front of them.

Are yours made by Glad or Ziploc? I'm just curious if you've tried different brands and which seems to work best?

You are right. You can't convince someone of something unless they what to have an open mind to another point of view.

Actually wearing a mask to wear it when not necessary is rather foolish. For example in a vehicle when totally alone and nobody else has been in the vehicle nor is it expected someone else will be in the vehicle.

On the flip side it is foolish thinking a person wearing a mask in a vehicle alone is doing it on purpose. For example in today's society of never-ending distractions, it is common to forget one even has it on.

Now some here may have difficulty making the distinction between the above two cases but rest assured there are no shortage of fools in this day and age. So here is another classic example (using nobody in particular) from Esel's house of zamplez.

Let's say Johnnie is a pimp working a street corner in JAX. Johnnie only wears a pimp outfit when engaged in business but does not change it when running an errand during break. Is it foolish? No. One should wear the outfits of the trade to ensure smooth continuity of cash flow and demonstrate the street corner hierarchy. Changing such an outfit just to run an errand only to have to change back when coming off break is time consuming and foolishly a time-waster.

Now let's say Johnnie works in a JAX hospital. It's not Halloween or wear a costume to work day. Nevertheless Johnny decides I'm wearing a pimp outfit to work just because. Is it foolish? Yes. The pimp outfit is not necessary in such a situation, adds nothing to climbing the career ladder and won't increase one's productivity with their job duties.

Happy thirsty Thursday to one n all!!!

It’s 2021.

You need two.

After my wife volunteered at a vaccination site for 8 hours, she wore her mask in the car, all the way home. Sorry.

Since wearing a mask is the new norm
(for years to come possibly) and the viral blocking advantages are dubious, I'm exploring the IRREFUTABLE facts and benefits:

Ugly people are better looking now.

No more bad breath (yours OR theirs).

A boon to selective hearing.

A boon to selective mumbling.

You can mouth f*** you (while winking at the same time)

Easier to pass gas and get away with it

Don't have to smile*

Don't have to hear "smile"


Care to add?

I often stick my tongue out at people now and they have no idea.

I've been doing some of that too to cute young chicks while wiggling my tongue back and forth rapidly. I don't get slapped anymore!

Makes people with meth mouth look better!

My wife, daughter, and I are trying to hike some short trails during the Winter to stay in some semblance of shape....it never fails, there will be several that are wearing a mask on an outdoor hike through nature, when there might only be 10-15 people on site (not within sight of each other most of the time).

I also chuckle at the trained monkeys who wear their masks in the car alone....sorry, not sorry !

[gregpark]

Just a thought....should double ugly women be required to wear two masks?
just in case, you know.... one falls off?

[pmax]

I suppose that counts as two.

^^^I'm sorry, but I find that absolutely hilarious, having been a sax player in a prior life.
