Mission complete! I live maybe 15 minutes from Portland, OR. Almost 1 hour in Safeway without a mask tonight. Not one word from anyone or any weird looks except from the shopping cart kid who thought he'd flex on me by asking, "do you have a mask?" I said, "nope!" and kept on. Saw 2 other dudes with no masks and they smiled when they saw me and from down the aisle shouted, “how’s it going, dude?!” I replied, “all good and you?” They said, “awesome!” and that was that but they were just as stoked to see me without a mask as I was to see them without theirs.
STOP WEARING THE MASKS! I’m typically a push over but I had a shit day and needed to book a win to close it out, so I made my win happen. If I can stop with the mask nonsense, you can too!
i live in southeast Houston. i have been maskless for a while. i go to grocery store every weekend and have been observing. even without the mandate fools are still wearing these face diapers...about a month ago i'd say it was still 5:1 in favor of masks....i went yesterday and would say its now about 3:1 still in favor of masks but ppl are definititely waking up in this aspect. i will confirm its a great feeling when you lock eyes with a fellow non masker....they ALWAYS want to talk and just socialize without a fucking mask. i love it and its quite refreshing seeing ppl's beautiful faces again....
That was honestly the best part of the experience, seeing the two dudes without their masks. We were all equally stoked, like you could see the expression of, “oh hell yea!” on their faces. I’m sure they could see it on mine! ?
