Masks get me called ma'am and she a few years earlier than I'd be able to afford face fixing surgery, so I'm kinda ok with it. I got a 96% on my psych nursing final with a mask on, so it can't be killing too many brain cells. The people, myself included, wearing n95s in the operating room seemed to be doing ok. Those masks suck though, fucking hurt your face. Ofc the mask you're bitching about probably isn't one of those, is it?

The vast majority of masks people are wearing are not N95

99.999999% of all the masks people are wearing are store bought or cloth masks. Most people nowadays are even leaving their noses exposed. Most of these masks have not been replaced for months, because it's obvious people are only wearing them in public because of the mandates, not because of any health concerns. It's all just an illusion.

What annoys me is that there is this army of lefties though, preaching from a pulpit that if you don't wear a mask in public you are killing grandma (as if they care about people - give me a break) pretending like they do something (when they don't) and disguising their true motive which is the power to coerce people (through fear) into giving into their demands.

The problem is data is slowly starting to roll out and it turns out outside exposure and transmission is basically zero. I'll even link a NYT article (with insane spin) because ironies

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/b...e=articleShare

These demands are not going to stop with Covid. They are going to monkey branch into other things (See Global Warming) and you're going to see retards like Ennewi pasting Wikipedia links smugly explaining to people why they have to pay insane energy/fuel prices because some guy said so in an article somewhere. It's stupid.

I haven't even gone into the economic damage the lockdowns/mask mandates have caused. Amazon/Walmart aren't hurting though.

Remember that a p value is the likelihood that the observation is noise, not the magnitude of the change. In other words, this paper does not say 'Everyone who puts on a mask instantly turns into a chimpanzee with a heart attack'. It says that wearing masks reduces the amount of oxygen in the body when then impacts your physical and mental performance negatively. As BlackBellamy says, it is fucking obvious.

Yes, exactly. All progressive points boil down to '... and that's why I need to be in charge regardless of our relative ability'. And that's why the forum battles here are so vicious: it's about being able to call other people idiots.

can't relate lol

I like masks though, and hope they stick around and stay socially acceptable. I enjoy wearing mine, feel more comfortable with crowds & germy children, and experience less "public anxiety" in one. Except I'm kind of mad that a bunch of my makeup is finna expire unused.

I like having the option to use my face power or not. I love the moment when you remove mask after acquainting veiled, where the reaction to my appearance is done in realtime. It's a real power trip to remove your mask and feel the male you are interacting with suddenly become nervous. Veiling the face is sexy.

I'm actually worried about the environmental damage of masks more than anything. Poor sea turtles [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You bring up a good point and yes I've thought about this too

Go to your local grocery store parking lot and there are discarded masks all over the place littering the ground

I searched through all the pre-velious masks for all classes on https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Face

Sorting for both hp and stamina, I couldn't find a single mask that lowered health.

This is the important part:
The objective was to search for documented adverse effects and risks of different types of mouth–nose-covering masks. Of interest here were, on the one hand, readymade and self-manufactured fabric masks, including so-called community masks and, on the other hand medical, surgical and N95 masks (FFP2 masks).

So they are mixing the results of home made garbage masks, made of shirts n shit, with professionally made masks for an specific purpose. Not synthetics designed for the job, just fabrics.

Yeah, you gonna get stupid side effects when you wrap a sweater around your mouth and nose. Congrats. You just found out you cant put a home made mask made of old sheets over your face and not suffocate a bit.

Why didnt they just do a study using N95 masks and some control groups?? Oh that wouldnt bring the results you want. Best to just search for only negative effects you find not associated with N95 masks, stack the deck with those problems, then include N95's.

It's not wrong, just stupid. Like saying "sharks will kill you always" then attributing the behavior of bull sharks to nurse sharks. They are two different things.
