When I'm walking to a building that requires it through the parking lot, I never ever put it on before the second I walk through the door. Then the second I leave the door I take it off. I don't get all these people wearing them in the parking lots outdoors, I think that's a bad habit that has normalized it beyond what is necessary

You could try the 100% incognito experience.

Hoodie over your head, dark/mirrored shades, and the most porous and breathable masks available.
Heavy black leather gloves.

They sell mesh rhinestone covers 6 for $16 at Bezosistan.

Bling-bling bitches! You can see right through to skin, but you can't put the face together.
Also, the heavy leather gloves might mean business.

Looking like a 2019 armed robber, sans the gun. If you have to engage with anyone, then use the worst falsetto voice you can muster. Fake hard.

Cause you're shopping for whatever, and currently self-identify as also whatever.

Good luck facial recognizing that.
Better check my plates; cars tinted too... ;-)

    I have a full face mask with powered air supply (paintshop style).

    I love it.

    You've inspired me.

    I should start looking for deals on something like this.

    Bonus points against the Wuhan flu cause it's a Chinese suit. It's authentic, because they misspelled "Fighher".

    The hoax pandemic is over in China.

    Fight Fighher with Fighher.

      Yeah the UK is as much a joke as Australia and NZ at this point. Absolute nanny state, with few people putting up any resistance. Australians because they're so soft because life has been good for so long so they don't see a need to resist, and the UK because they're so browbeaten in to conformity over centuries.

      I wear it only exactly when I'm explicitly required to, that's my little resistance against it. I'm walking across the grocery store parking lot, the only one without a mask on. But I'm not being a jerk, nor am I breaking any rules. I'm just re-normalizing lack of mask outdoors. Feels like a good balanced approach lots of people could take without causing friction

      At the door of the grocery we add the mask,

      Don't you mean you wear 4 masks, and follow Faucci's fables?

      Quoting socks:

      You said this:

      I support personal freedom.

      Which means that you would want everyone to have their 'personal freedom', right?

      That works when people wear masks, which is so simple that anyone can easily do it without any problem. Case closed

      ..Are we supposed to be wearing the damned things outside too? I don't really give a crap about wearing it inside, if anything it's keeping me warm as long as I'm not doing anything outside of walking. I could imagine it getting hellishly hot for anyone overweight though.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      I think we are expected to wear it outside when we're closer than 6 feet to someone, such as outside a bar, or coffee place, or where others are standing or walking or on mass transit. If I have to walk through a group of people standing around outside, I'll put the mask on just before walking through them. In the US this might not be common in places where people drive to their destinations.

      Jokes on you, we all had mask fetish but didn't dare to do it until now! And now we can wear them everywhere.

      I don't even do that. I'll only put one on (temporarily), if they specifically ask me to, and provide one. I take if off and accidentally leave it on a shelf somewhere in the store. The only place I wear one it as work, because they require it, and because, well, I kinda need the paycheck! I take the dirty glares from the sheep in masks as a badge of honor as I walk about in stores doing my thing without a mask on. Sometimes I'll even let out a little snicker at those who glare at me!

      [–]whistlepig 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      I don't wear one... I've only been asked to leave 3 establishments in the last year. Establishments that I will never return to. They've burnt that bridge. The good thing about sheep is that most of them don't really care or they're too afraid to say anything.

      I never wore one. I'm in the belly of the beast (Portland Oregon) Its dangerous to do that here. You literally might be assaulted by a group of transmissions. There are transmissions everywhere here and they are noticeably deranged and dangerous. Stabbings, beating women up, screaming at customer service, insanity.

        Do minorities have to wear them in Oregon?

        Just self identity as someone who doesn't need to wear one.

        If someone contests this then politely inform them that you feel black on the inside, and suffer from constant depression via repression.

        All you ever wanted to do was be accepted for who you feel you are inside.

        If they agree that this is acceptable, then confirm they're cool with you wearing blackface makeup.

        Be certain to get approval prior to application.

        Edit: Chainmail pairs well blackface makeup.

        I do self identify as someone do doesn't wear one. However these people are sick yo. They are literally all severely mentally ill.

        They are literally all severely mentally ill.

        They suffer from television mind control. Monkey see, monkey do.

        Tv programming is unbelievably powerful.

        I can't understand why so few others manage to recognize what's happening.

        Maybe we really are living in a simulation, and most people are actually NPCs. Like a video game.

        That would go a long way in explaining why so many others are so foolish, and can't be convinced of the obvious.

        A bit like that game on The Onion: World of World of Warcraft.

          Trump really missed out on "Trump 2020" and "MAGA" masks. If he had jumped onboard with "Wearing a mask is your patriotic duty to protect your fellow Americans", we'd have been over this in May or June of last year.

          [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

          nah he'd have lost even worse if he did that. His supporters hate the masks. Unlike liberals they're not sheep and won't support uncomfortable masks just because of trump. Trump was already hemorrhaging supporters because of his betrayals after taking office. Not building the wall and not repealing obamacare. Which is why he lost to Biden, a terrible candidate, any dem would have won. But supporting masks would have made it even worse and also cost other repubs elections downticket.

            WTF is the problem with wearing a mask?

            If you wear a mask and aren't sick, dealing with dust or debris, working with chemicals or suffering from a fatal lung disease, you're a controlled tool, incapable of making an intelligent decision based on logic and medical science. You're easily manipulated and told what to do, and you willingly sacrifice not only your own integrity, but your comfort, health and personal freedom to appease your masters when you wear one.

            Nobody keeps you from wearing a mask.

            The problem isnt you wearing a mask but that you feel entitled to force your cultish nuttery on everybody else.

              You dont fight insanity by joining it. What a moronic notion ...

              Every kind of government coercion needs extremely solid evidence that the measures work to begin with and that the costs are very small compared to the benefits. For mask wearing there is already plenty of evidence that they DONT achieve any significant benefit. All it does is drive people deeper into the collective hysteria and block the bridge back to sanity by reminding people 24/7.

              This is a power game. It's the power of the mob of followers of the media church against the free individual. Hence it's a new form of fascism or socialism. And it will develop and end quite similarly. The parallels to 1930 - 1945 are frightening.

                Another oppressive, but accepted reality is racism.

                Sure, the biggest existential threat to humanity is racism? If not, then figure out what is and focus on that instead of chasing shadows.

                Masking is a scientific matter of taking steps to avoid a known disease.

                Non n95 masks don't work, this has been documented for decades. Therefore, the masks are being pushed for ulterior reasons...and it's not for the good of all.

                  Plenty of scientific studies make the case that masks are mostly irrelevant. There is nothing about this issue that is based on science. It is purely an issue of cultural assimilation and political tribalism.

                    Well.... "directives" are a fairly direct method of manipulating or telling people what to do... not sure I understand the question.

                    Also... don't understand the second question. How do you mean I've decided to use my energy? I mean... clearly I disagree with it and will gripe about it when the subject comes up.. is that what you mean by "use my energy"?

                      There are a long string of assumptions you're making there that I would not. Not sure how we got from masks to Putin and a hot tub.

                      But if you are really curious rather than being dismissive, then you should check out https://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-documentaries/ .. You are asking a relatively simple question with many long answers that require a better understanding of history. This links is a good place to start.

                      I assume we can agree that colonialism and aristocracy once was a major force a hundred or fewer years ago? If so, then lets consider the possibility that groups of people who thrived at the top of that system didn't just walk away, but maybe they just started calling what they did by different names and continued moving their agendas in the same direction.

                      It would be kind of like telling you that all matter is made up of tiny "particles" and charges that you can't see and expecting you to not doubt me without you having some basic understanding of the concepts being referred to first.

                        We have global evidence this is real

                        The evidence for 'most' of the effects (beyond just being the flu) being faked or lied about are overwhelming. You'd have to be deliberately blinding yourself or avoiding uncensored news to believe in the hoax.

                        Have talked to a couple other maskers, and it's like talking to a robot who just repeats the programming. I'm not in the business of educating or convincing people, so I guess you're stuck with your false beliefs. Cheers.

                          old asians reallly never wore masks in USA, probably one of the reasons they wanted to leave their asian hellholes was the authoritarian rules. This was like muslims wearing masks and people made them take them off.

                          I think we'll start to get it as the weather breaks. No way are people going to deal with this for another year. People will feel safe when they get the vaccine, even though they're trying to make sure they remain scared then as well. Trump wasn't elected, the main goal of the pandemic hoax was a success. At this point they're just trying to drag it out so select companies can make more money and the citizenry remains demoralized as it becomes more and more obvious to normies the country's been sold to China.
