Most here (including me) are well past doing the mask thing. Pretty well confirmed that masks do not help against the virus. HOWEVER my wife is very sensitive to pollen and the allergies really mess with her sinuses and throat. As a singer, this is doubly bad. So she wears a mask outside and has far fewer symptoms. Please do not assume that she is a Karen - she needs the mask so she can avoid the allergens.

Like I said, security is about layers. Absolutely nothing guarantees your security.
If I changed my license plate every month, I could still be tracked.
If I used multiple aliases for each part of my life, I could still be tracked.
If I dealt exclusively in cryptocurrency, I could still be tracked.
But a person who uses all three? They’re getting pretty hard to track.
A mask costs almost no money, is acceptable to wear in almost any location in the country, and effectively gives you more control over your own identity.
It is essentially a free layer of security. A decade ago, it would have been mystifying for personal autonomy advocates to be on the “anti” side of the mask-wearing debate.
Look, I’m not the one who turned masks into a political symbol, and I honestly couldn’t care less if you wear one or not.
But if you’re snickering at someone who is masked up in public, there’s a distinct possibility you’re mocking someone for taking their personal security more seriously than you do.
As I’ve insisted all along, the world is not so simple as to be easily divided into “with me” and “against me.”
It has nothing to do with with me or against me. It has everything to do with being made in the image of God, and actually being ashamed of your own face. Your programming is complete congratulations!
You’re insisting on me feeling shame when I’m clearly outlining security-based reasons for it. It’s okay to just admit you view your security differently than I do. It’s not a point we have to agree on.
FYI - are you wearing a mask at this point in time brings more attention to you than not. If your whole point of wearing it still for anonymity - you’re defeating the purpose. More people will be looking eating now more than ever because they’ll be thinking that you’ve been brainwashed. They will be correct!
When I see people wearing masks I don’t think I’m better than them, actually have pity for them. The first thing I do is start praying for them, so they won’t be afraid. So they won’t be brainwashed, and so that they will have freedom to be who they are as people, to be seen as a human being. To be pleased with their face the way God made them, and that The Lord will open their hearts to knowing who he is.
The only time in human history when facemasks have been used, have been for slaves, to cover women’s faces because of oppression, etc. etc. etc. Do a Google search on facemasks, it’ll bring up all kinds of horrific pictures of leather masks and other sorts of masks to cover peoples faces, that’s to demoralized them, and to take away their humanity.
Do you know actually believe that the mask that you wear is something good for you. I’ll continue to pray.
Yes I think actually wearing the mask is what help them with all the facial tracking and stuff like that somehow something to do with the mask help to define the tracking methods
