I'm not saying comply with the mask orders. In fact I have the utmost respect for those who refuse at all costs, but lets be honest, sometimes our head just isn't in the right space or we need something NOW and don't have time to potentially get kicked out and go store to store.
In these such cases, a face-shield is a good alternative. They're not so pervasive and they don't really obstruct ones breathing too badly if they're only worn for small amounts of time. It's also not as much of a threat for bacteria spread as it's not physically pressed up against ones mouth.
For example, I only have one liquor store in my vicinity and they're mask nazi's so for me it's a bit of a leverage thing. I'm not a heavy drinker or anything and sure, I could go somewhere else and stock up but it's not always practical.
So for those of us mask resisters who pick and chose our battles, a face-shield is a good alternative when we choose to comply
ehhh doesn't matter. I was literally grabbing some coffee at Timmy's 2 days ago and the drive-threw was backed up and there was like 5 cops inside so I grabbed it from my back seat and tossed it on and no one said anything. Haven't had any problems with it yet
Srsly? That's all I wear at work. Bylaws complimented it when a Karen complaint came in that I wasn't wearing it when I was alone in the store(apparently THAT'S illegal, also).
I have a legit psychological issue that I've never had addressed, so I don't have it documented(I feel like a pussy about it, too. I know you're thinking that XD). So if they try to enforce that on me, I legit have to quit. Thanks to the feel-good project, for putting my livelihood at risk.
Love what you said, but let's be real.
"Fair trials" in this country would lead to you, and I, being tried for siding with the "Far Right"...
I doubt a trial would lead to any justice in this country to these Neo-Maskies
Go ahead and do what you want to get by in the world but don't come here and act like you're proud of this compromise. You're still engaged in behaviour you know to be idiotic for the sole purpose of appeasing the masses of mindless drones.
Not proud of it, but lets be real, very few of us anti-maskers take up the fight 100 percent of the time. For me, it's like 50-50... Just being honest.
You can get cheap little flimsy shields from London Drugs and you can actually breath in them. 100x better than the muzzles in my opinion.
I'm not saying it isn't still a compliant humiliation ritual and that they aren't entirely pointless, but I see these guys panting in their masks and it's like good god, at least put on a shield.
I get you and I agree that I don't think anyone here is actually refusing to wear a mask 100% of the time. I don't either. The only thing I really do is passive-aggressively refuse to start putting it on until after I've actually entered the building and start taking it off before I've actually left.
Is it stupid and cucked? Sure, but I can't imagine anyone willing to turn every single outing into a fight with random store employees about the stupidity of masks and the general lack of logic of the pandemic response. The only time I flat-out refuse is when I'm in a near-empty subway train or when I'm going to a freedom rally.
Personally, I wear it at work to avoid being shutdown. But as a rule, I refuse everywhere else.
The 1 and only time I'm going to make an exception is a mate just started a new job, and I'd like to support his business and not make him look like a potential problem in front of his employer.
Yall are cowards and need to grow a spine.
Civil disobedience requires, you know, actually disobeying.
I have never purchased nor worn a mask. I put my money where my convictions are.
Lol I just wear the mast on my chin
Hey they said face covering mandatory, didn't say I can't wear it my way
Haha yeah, a few times, and each time it was someone obese.... Unreal
Look at YOU assuming they aren't arthroscopic surgeons!
I saw a kid hand his mask to another kid so he could go into the 7-11.
It's healthier, you don't have damp bacteria ridden fabric pressed up against your mouth and nose, you can breathe easily. I don't see how it's a comparison.
Wouldn't you rather piss the maskee's off with something that they all know is less effective? haha
We're splitting hairs :P. We both agree it's all bullshit. I was just trying to help my fellow brothers who find breathing in the face diapers intolerable
hahaha you might have a point
I don't see how. People look way stupider wearing the little diaper across their mouths. The face shield kinda helps make a mockery of the whole thing in a way, too. This crap shouldn't be turned into a trend with the little t-shirt fabric trendy muzzles.
I've got a couple of these little things and I just wear it propped up a little higher on my forehead so there's more space between my mouth and it's no comparison man. https://www.amazon.com/Protective-Windproof-Dustproof-Anti-Spitting-Isolation/dp/B08732B9FL
Sure maybe working in one for hours at a time would suck. But I can't believe people would rather walk around in face panties than one of these. I think you're just a sheeple and prefer the diaper cause it's what everyone else wears
