im just going to say it. If you still wear covid masks everywhere, you're a dickhead

@Jenny1234 Being laughed at makes you stronger. It is not fatal. If encourages you to think to justify what you are doing.

@Jenny1234 I'm blocked by dippyjoe, so he can't see the facts that refute his idiocy.

N95 masks use electrostatically charged fibers to grab onto tiny particles. I can't see what dippyjoe is saying about masks, but if it's about particle size, he just doesn't understand the tech.

Life expectancy has approximately DOUBLED since the 19th century, mostly due to doctors and medical technology, despite dippyjoe's protestations.

@Jenny1234 i am just saying a opinion. I am not trying to enforce people can or can not wear what they want.
I dont get why so many are making a big deal about a opinion a random person has. Makes no sense to me except insecurity.
If you are so confident about those masks and that they help you, it shouldnt faze you in the slightest what i would think about it.

@Fishy you ever see someone and just by a quick glance at them, they give off major dickhead vibes? thats the vibe they give 😆

@Torsten Sometimes it just takes a few minutes of conversation to detect those major dickhead vibes😆😆

@ElwoodBlues yes it certainly does..

@Ceinwyn yes you get it. This thread was a fleeting thought. It was and is not some big serious thing. Its a fleeting thought that livened this dead site up just a tiny little bit

@Torsten There are better things to talk about than people wearing masks. We have joint interests and positions on other things. But that will have to be for another day. My oven is beeping.

@Ceinwyn of course there is better things to talk about but again this was a fleeting thought and i wrote it and it struck up a decent amount of activity, so thats kinda a win.
Best of luck with your oven

@SunshineGirl you're very welcome 🙏

@BlueVeins calling someone a dickhead does not mean i am bothered by it. It means i think they look like complete fools and nothing more.
Do you still wear them? is that why you are bothered by this?

@Torsten No, I just find it funny how deep you are in culture war bullshit. That's all.

@BlueVeins how exactly is this culture war?

@Picklebobble2 because it wasnt bad at all for me, so i am not going to try and claim it was anything different.
If you want to live in fear and believe whatever media and government, tell you, knock yourself out. I go off my own experiences, thanks

@Torsten YOUR CASE WASN'T BAD Still you refuse to recognise that.

@Picklebobble2 i clearly just recognized that my cases were not bad hahaha

@Cigarguy101 actually it went pretty much the exact way i thought it would

@OogieBoogie Look at an atomizer and get back to me.

@OogieBoogie you might be one of the very few who would be that cautious with masks. I remember always seeing people adjust them and have them below their noses and all sorts of things. granted one of the very rare times i did wear them, i was adjusting it like crazy. masks and big beards do not mix at all and the mask would constantly need adjusting.

Yeah why were gloves not mandated? that would have actually made more sense i think

oh yeah diet is a big one as well. If you were in poor health, you were at more risk. Which also annoyed me that the people who dont normally look after their health, were a lot of the ones trying to lecture others about taking care of your health haha. It was so dumb.

I agree with you bout diet 100%. People worrying bout covid when they are eating themselves to death and getting obese. Obesity percentages keep rising and we are now told its beautiful and healthy and if you argue that, you're fatphobic.
Actually i would say a bigger issue is people have become so incredibly fragile that you have to coddle to everyone. The truth can never be told if it hurts anyones feelings and yeah its insane

@JesseInTX haha im not trying to enforce peoplecnot wearing what they want here

@Strictmichael75 cause you went straight on the offence with a insult. That is what makes you come off as fragile. You could have come here, made your case and be taken seriously. But nope

@Torsten I don’t take people like you seriously
Simple as that!

@Strictmichael75 well we have that in common about each other at least

@Zeusdelight haha what part of this thread gave the hint that i am anything else but a anti mask guy?
clearly i hit you a lil close to home huh?

@Torsten No mate. Affects me as much as a bush fly - flick them off and move on.

@Zeusdelight sure mate 😆

@Confined haha i remember seeing people eat in restaurants with them. Even seen one person cut a mouth slit in the mask and eating through it. So stupid haha

@Onestarlitnight exactly it makes no sense and all it does is provide people with a false sense of saftey

@Raaii im speaking to wear them due to covid. I get some people wear them for other health reasons. I am not including them in this

@Torsten oh got it
I understand the reason
But mine is a highly populous country so it's oki if some wear mask here

@Raaii fair enough

@HoraceGreenley and even that is insufficient. A virology lab worker wears a completely sealed suit (like a space suit) with outside air that actually pressurises the suit higher than one atmosphere. If the suit gets a hole in it the airflow is out of the suit and not into the suit. Viruses are extremely tiny and to filter them out mechanically would mean the element is so fine that you would have difficulty breathing.

@hippyjoe1955 i agree. But if you are immunocomprimised, you feel like you need to do something.

@HoraceGreenley I understand the fear but acting on fear and not facts is rather futile.

@littlepuppywantanewlife I have not had any vaccine since my mother forced me to take the smallpox and polio vaccines in the mid 60s.

@littlepuppywantanewlife sure have, just not the covid "vaccine"

@gol979 exactly. You get it. Its irrational fear and those masks are not helping at all

@gol979 lack of oxygen? How is it that after wearing a mask all day my O2 sat was still 98 - 99%? Or did they replace all the monitoring equipment to hide the truth?

@SooperSarah if you want to believe that covering your breathing holes all day doesnt effect your oxygen intake thats up to you. Basic common sense says it does.

@robingoodfellow why do people sum this up as me caring? haha its merely a statement and nothing more

@RedBaron if you're going to come at someone and talk about their intelligence, at least check your post for mistakes before you send it. just makes you look foolish

@Torsten Done.

And you still resorted to name calling, which is very lame.

You have no business calling anyone else foolish.

@RedBaron naww sorry, didnt know i was dealing with someone so fragile. If you come at someone and try and insult their intelligence, just expect that person to retaliate and that was a very tame comment back
Maybe i dont have any business calling others foolish, but i did it anyway and will continue to do so when the situation calls for it

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout did people really get donuts for being injected?

@Torsten lotto tickets
hot chips.
there was a tonne of cheap bait on offer.

@ElwoodBlues you can wear whatever you want, but no one is exempt from others judging them based on what they're wearing

@Torsten You ducked the question!!

What if it's a cold & flu mask? Is that OK??

@SW-User maybe certain types of sick people but not all

@Crazywaterspring but masks wont do that. Get a flu shot.
I agree with you on people being filthy petri dishes, 100% though

@Piper thats crazy cause i think those who come to tell those who refer to people as "dickheads" for doing something that neither affects nor harms no one and nothing in any way, are dickheads themselves also 🤷‍♂️

@JasminD well i never checked up on every hospital in the world before writing it. You get what i mean though. You speak mostly on a example where it is mandatory for staff and patients to wear them.

@Torsten No, I know of the hospital policy of where I live. What constitutes immunosuppressed to some parts isn't to others.

@JasminD and i know the hospital policy of where i live and its mandatory still for everyone to wear masks in there

@Puppycat23 do people not read comments here anymore? i have already been over this

@specman they really do

@EmilyMom maybe i am one, but i certainly am not alone here. You can add yourself in the group also

@Strictmichael75 and you're free to have that opinion.
