Just put it on then immediately after you get what you came for take it off and slowly leave... maybe even meander a bit so others see that it's okay to not wear a mask... this is what I do otherwise I won't get service
this actually gave me a good idea, throw this nonsense right back in their face. "Excuse me can you put on another mask? I don't feel comfortable with you wearing only one mask, put some gloves on too please and can you find a face shield? DO YOU WANT TO KILL MY GRANDMA YOU BIGOT!?" lol
I've been talking about the lack of a glove mandate forever. Like this crap supposedly can survive a couple days on surfaces, and we're trusting people to wash their hands often. But we can't trust people to social distance, no, they have to wear a mask.
I'm gonna beaT the shit out of the next person who so much as looks at me and points.to a mask on their face. I'll consider the pointing to be my direction as to where they want me to land my hammy on their pathetic faces.
LOL - It reminds me of when I was in private school and they made all the girls kneel on the floor to be sure their skirt was long enough to touch the floor. And once we "passed", we got up, rolled up our skirts and went on our merry way.
I was told the same yesterday bc I had my nose out...the cashier said, “can you pull up your mask so I can help you?” I hesitated but said, “no, I have a condition.” She said ok and checked me out without incident. Felt good to tell that lib that I’m not going to cower to these antics. Of course, she was surrounded by a piece of plastic and had on 2 masks. ? but I had my nose out and refused. Baby steps in lockdown states.
Making your own seems awesome and I'm really interested but I was scared off by the possibility of poisoning myself/others etc. Did you learn from someone who already knew how to make moonshine or are you self taught?
We only make ferments, so the alcohol content is 15% or less. We learned from books, youtube videos, etc but it's pretty simple if you have the basic equipment. If you want something stronger, there is Apple Jack which we made recently. First, we fermented apple juice to 15%, then we froze it. The water freezes but the alcohol doesn't, so by freezing/straining several times we got something over 40% and tasty as hell.
Our basic ferments cost about 1-2$ per liter/quart. Like I said, some are horrible (we won't make that again) and some are delicious.
We've fermented straight white sugar and that only cost about 15 cents per liter.
Hi fren! Thanks for the info! Yes, it seems like a good idea to avoid moonshine and stick with beer/wine/things less than 15%. Apple Jack sounds amazing. I'll have to try! I particularly appreciate your cost breakdown, I always want to know the dollars and cents.
You can get 1 gallon carboys with airlocks on amazon for 20-30$. That'll get you started, hardware-wise. Yeast can be expensive and complicated but so far we have only used "dried active distillers yeast" or DADY. It's cheap and can generate the 15% or maybe more alcohol content. Pure fruit juice from the grocery store can produce some very nice wines. Different brands can give better/worse flavours but that's trial, error and personal taste.
Being clean is important but you don't need to buy the brewing sanitizer, just mix a tsp bleach to one gallon water and bathe everything that will contact your brew/ferment.
We were initially motivated by Stephen Harrod Buhner's book:

This three word phrase will solve every problem. "Go Fuck Yourself". Learn it and use it.
yep and i've said it recently
thats my favorite phrase
Just put it on then immediately after you get what you came for take it off and slowly leave... maybe even meander a bit so others see that it's okay to not wear a mask... this is what I do otherwise I won't get service
I usually ignore and pull it down a bit more when called out. As soon as my transaction is completed, im a free breather.
pull your mask down and say "I can't hear you, can you please pull your mask down so I can see your mouth movements"
LOL!
Was she wearing gloves?
this actually gave me a good idea, throw this nonsense right back in their face. "Excuse me can you put on another mask? I don't feel comfortable with you wearing only one mask, put some gloves on too please and can you find a face shield? DO YOU WANT TO KILL MY GRANDMA YOU BIGOT!?" lol

Tell her you can’t because you touched a dirty cart or door handle. If she’s insensitive to that then she’s anti science.
LOL. Insane. Take the masks off!
should of ripped it off and fucking said, hows this?
I'm gonna beaT the shit out of the next person who so much as looks at me and points.to a mask on their face. I'll consider the pointing to be my direction as to where they want me to land my hammy on their pathetic faces.
.
that's when you blow hot breath on to the partition and write out NO backwards so she can properly read it
She wouldn't be telling you to pull up your mask if you weren't wearing one.

Soooo many bad jokes one could get out of that headline.....
You win. Wow ?
What? Couldn’t hear you from behind that plastic and the mask. Dude working a in-n-out seemed just as annoyed as I was.
JUST WALK OUT.
JUST LEAVE THE STUFF YOU TOOK UP TO THE COUNTER, AND WALK OUT.
My husband and I are big readers but it seems like 99% of bookstores are insane. We always have to hold our nose when we go to a local store.
Great point! Cheaper too!
You just say "don't worry - I'm not ill, I haven't been ill for X-years"
They dont buzz you in the door without one
Solution, wear a scarf over your face so they can't tell. Once you're inside remove the scarf as normal and stare at tbem and assert dominance.

Then don't darken their door again. Ever. Even AFTER this stupid process is over.
Big oof if you live in a place where you have to get buzzed in ...
They just want you to sit, stay, and roll over. Is that too much to ask?
Dude, trust us.
You missed the /s
I wonder when the automated tellers will start using machine vision to detect mask/no mask and decline service.
Just pull up a picture of a guy with a mask on with your phone and hold it up to the camera. It will work.
I am so sorry. I hope I didn't give them the idea.
Last guy I told "run along"
We make our own. Some of it is horrible but the freedom tastes awesome.

I'm glad to help.
If you have any books you'd recommend or any brews you'd particularly recommend avoiding, I'd love to hear about it!
