    I still mask. It’s starting to make some people I encounter in public angry as we enter into the Year of Our Lord 2025. Some dude started removeding at me in the store a few weeks ago, and I decided to try hissing at him like Nadja the vampire on What We Do In The Shadows, and he shut right up.

      Wearing a mask is a sign that you’re sick and are willing to take measures to prevent others from catching what you have. What a sorry state of affairs we’re in where you’re judged for doing something so considerate. I’m sorry you have to put up with their shit.

        I’m not even sick most of the time. I just don’t want COVID again even though I’m super vaccinated and only had one very mild case. I still want to take that precaution. It affects nobody but me and I’m always surprised how indignant the people who have said something to me are over it. But at least most people leave me alone, apparently in conservative US states they’ll scream at you and threaten you from their car windows.

          It’s a symbol to these people. They don’t even think about its usefulness, because they were told that they have no use.

          So to them they see a person wearing a mask as an instant enemy.

            I support the thought, but don’t actually do this. Those assholes will call the cops on you and absolutely try to press charges against you.
