This is the case in Portland. I work at a retail store. Two months ago? Almost all the masks were finally off!
Now they're 60% back!?
... yeah yeah I KNOW it's Portland this town is FUCKED but just weird the masks are making such a major comeback for no apparent reason - if they were spinning more Monkeypox fear or whatever maybe it would make sense. But when I ask the maskers why they're wearing a mask again suddenly after a few months if not ... "I don't know everyone else is"
... Goddamnit ...
I even know someone who's ANTI-MASK and has been against the mandates and now that the mandates are finally over ! ...
THIS MOTHERFUCKER BROUGHT MASKS TO AN EVENT HE HELD AND GAVE EVERYONE ONE
They WERE optional. But it was his event and he was handing them out so it shouldn't take big brains to figure out socially most people will put it on.
I told him it was one of the most hypocritical things I've ever seen someone do. Motherfucker basically said "I'm just trying not to be an asshole I just wanted to make them available! I didn't make anyone wear it!?"... Well you're kinda a two-face so ... avoiding being an asshole by compromising your other values ... is dumb and evil.
You whined about the masks for the last two years. And then encouraged everyone to keep up their behavior.
I reminded him what the suicide rate is for teens right now and told him everytime you hand a parent a mask and tell them it's okay if they want to wear one, you're encouraging that parent that they're alright to mask their kids - something he's previously agreed was sick.
He took the criticism fairly well considering how harsh it was. But the guilt of standing up for himself will always outweigh his guilt over compromising the truth. And he'll avoid the one he's most guilty about.
My partner has a business that will be difficult to rebuild when we move cities. If we moved now and ANYTHING went wrong ... we'd be FUCKED.
And while I am a risk taker and to me that sounds like "okay, it's a risk but this is important let's make it happen" ... he is not this way, he's a newly awakened libfuckretard and while he doesn't think any of the brainwashed shit anymore, he still thinks LIKE he does.
Like anyone coming out of a cult, it might take a few YEARS for them to be capable of rational thought regularly and automatically. Right now he's just at the stage where he knows he was brainwashed and he even knows the facts of what really happened. But getting him to see he's still thinking the same WAY he was before, can sometimes be a real challenge - a challenge that frankly will be the ultimate success or downfall of our relationship.
So we're just saving our pennies and taking our time to decide what new city we'd most likely really like.
He's rooting for Austin. I get it. It's hip. Lots of music stuff which is his business, he's a piano teacher.
I'm thinking Houston or maybe Memphis or Nashville. I'm not totally opposed to Austin, at the end of the day it's still Texas, but it also doesn't make any fucking sense to move TO a city that's not super different than the one I'm trying to get away from.

And that describes most maskers I know here.
Why are you still living there? I just escaped Spokane last year. I can't imagine tolerating Portland AT ALL.

Austin is just as bad. Same vibe.
I moved to College Station Texas 2 hours from all those big cities. Barely any masks here. Traffic is great.
I would take spokane over portland everytime. The inland empire is excellent as long as you avoid downtown spokane and cda
I have NO idea. That was my point but it prob got lost in long my comment was lol
Even when I ask them they don't have much of a reason other than "other people are"
It's just so strange that many of these people are THE SAME EXACT people that were complaining about them still being required just two months ago.
I kinda wonder if it has anything to do with the upcoming riots re Roe v Wade.
Amen.
Some batches of masks are contaminated with graphine oxide . . .
Can be a death sentence.
