The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Problem is it is already damn near impossible to enforce the cultural norm of people wearing masks. People already walk around without them. And nobody knows in a public space whether you've had the vaccine or not so letting them not wear masks just gives cover to all the people who haven't been vaccinated but walk around maskless anyway.

To me it's a sign of disrespect to come near me with out the mask. Whether you've been vaccinated or already had the virus or not. I don't know that. Shut up and put your damn mask on till this **** is over. And I'm saying this as someone who can't wait to not wear these stupid masks. I have to do 12 hour shifts in a mask and ****ing safety glasses. **** is annoying af.

Like jwb says. Belt and braces man, belt and braces. I'm not going to be taking any chances. Not that I expect to get the shot before Christmas anyway, when by then it might no longer be necessary, but I'll listen to the advice and follow it, as I always have. I don't know **** about this virus so I'll listen to those who do.

I’d be a lot more receptive to that position if collectively people had been willing to take the necessary measures and ENFORCE the necessary measure to stop this thing back when we had the chance. I was like people who don’t follow the protocol should be shot ****ing dead. All I got was that’s just ****ing insane dude why so angry. Half a million American deaths later now it’s gonna be about respecting boundaries? The boundaries have been trampled pummeled kicked in the dirt and everyone with a decent sense of respect for humanity has been bullied into death or near insanity because of this pissant pussy refusal to use a ****ing gun and now everybody who didn’t do a goddamn thing to stop this **** and sure as **** never advocated that people be allowed to take their own self-defense into their own hands wanna talk about it now?

I’ll wear a mask until whenever but I don’t have any respect for anyone’s ****ing opinion on the matter because the only one I ever met who was saying what really needed to be done to stop this thing was me. Only me.

I’m mother****ing Copernicus up in here so don’t start lecturing me about the earth orbiting the sun now goddamnit. I said it when it ****ing mattered.

... so because people didn't sign off on your intentionally hyperbolic and inflammatory takes now you wanna make excuses for people to not wear masks. Makes sense.

No. I think everyone should wear a mask until the CDC gives the all clear.

If there ever comes a day where YOU’RE the Copernicus in this mother****er you’ll be able to relate to the rest. It’s hard being alone in your own brilliance.

Copernicus, huh? You're more like late stage Tesla when he was talking to pigeons

Looks like I was wrong. Apparently, hot lead is a permanent cure for stupid.
