Yeah, exactly.. I was just told recently from my very young relative, how not wearing a mask outside now feels like you'd be missing some clothes on you, heartbreaking.

Fyi, it takes about 2 years that a person get some irreversible habit, so one more year of this lunacy, and lots of ppl will be permanently damaged.

I don't get this. Even when I have new, comfortable work boots I still want to take them off at the end of the day.

But you weren't putting in 8-10 hour days with workboots on as a child, probably.

There's also nothing rewarding about wearing a mask except for the empty bullshit "social points" you get for showing the world that you care about their grandparents. Taking off my boots after a hard day is almost like a reward, a moment that I cherish every day, sometimes letting out an audible "Ahhhh, that's better". Any mask I had, if I was forced to wear one, is long gone by the time my boots are coming off.

me neither, and the child is good looking and totally outgoing too, so I was just shocked. probably has smth to do with self-image, who knows, but I think OP got that correct.

I remember reading about some research into the reading of facial expressions when people were wearing masks prior to COVID. Basically, it dulls down positive emotion recognition and amplifies negative emotion recognition. People who were smiling were perceived as angry for instance.

That article/ paper seems to have been buried in an avalanche of COVID mask propaganda.

I did find this recent one though: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0249792

It’s similar to the effect a car has on you. When you’re walking on the sidewalk and you see an old lady struggling to cross the road, you’re more likely to want to help her out, especially if people see you. If you’re in a car and that same lady is struggling to cross the road in front of you, the car creates a sort of distance between you and makes you more likely to be rude and call her a “slow cunt.”

Anyway... let me know when people start openly shouting “NIGGER” in public.

I was waiting for someone to post this. This is how social engineering works.

The facemasks also function as 'mask masks' because that's what they are, MASKS! The things people use to hide their identity while they commit acts that would otherwise bring

This is a retarded and wrong comparison. Masks are not only insanely physically unhealthy, as well as psychologically unhealthy, but they don't work. Mostly due to the fact that there is no covid19 virus. Masks are bad. Internet anonymity is good. To compare the two implies internet anonymity is bad by way of masks being bad. It's a fucking awful comparison.

It's a fucking awful comparison.

You just demonstrated how anonymity allows you to not just disagree but be a dick about it too. Like it or not civility between people (especially in smaller towns) is important because it makes a community stronger. The weaker local communities are the stronger the Federal and centralized influences (like the mainstream media) as people choose to hate their own neighbors yet depend on the national authority figures. As self-reliant as we all are, you're better off living somewhere where people respect each other.

Literally nothing you said means a thing to what my post means. Anonymity good, masks bad. Comparison in OP awful and false.
