They're keeping their masks on. Their reasons extend beyond their health.

Good points. I still tend to cut some slack. I know a human when I see one, even if masked.

This was a pathetic piece of “journalism”.

“Today a Karen gave me a mask with tongs. I started laughing.”
*************************************************
That is pretty funny. How were the tongs attached to the mask?

I’m also in that situation; it’s been a royal P.I.T.A. to communicate with people.

How do the businesses know whether or not an unmasked person has had the shots?

No, its on the honor system. I have a pic of my card, but I don’t think anyone will ask because its probably illegal to do so. Thats the places that let you be maskless. The ones that are locking down more than the lockdowns, who can say since they often won’t even let you through the door unless you have an appointment.

They don’t know, it seems to be on the honor system.

I do know that if infections start going up again everyone will have to wear masks again.

I’ve detected smiles from the masked on occasion.
 
And I've caused a few too. At times when I encounter someone wearing a big bandana I'll go "so, where's the train robbery at?" or "robbing the stagecoach today, eh?". Got laughs every time.

“... but I don’t think anyone will ask because its probably illegal to do so.... .”

Good point about asking for verification of vaccine card. It should be illegal, but so much going on today is already unlawful by the Constitution. I don’t have faith in anyone, including the Courts, to hold up our rights any longer.

And all those issues are huge serious psychological ramifications to mask wearing. Masks contribute to the breakdown of society and culture.

Feeling unconstrained from social norms is very dangerous.

I agree, to a point.

We can’t kept denying the negative psycho-social effects of mass mask-wearing by the public in public

Society gradually crumbled and people continued to get sick at the same or greater rates. It is sad that some people think mask wearing is ok even with no health benefit. Anything that dehumanizes is not without consequences. Add the virtue signaling as one more societal harm.

All women like men’s attention to varying levels, your hyperbole aside.

you are implying that women are sad once they have lost their looks or have gained weight, because men don’t eyeball them anymore.
I know alot of women in that category, and they don’t miss it.
Now YMMV, maybe you do.

LOL sure they don’t miss it. That’s why there are so many unhappy both young and middle aged women popping 3 to 10 pills a day.

wait up- your original comment implied older women, who once had mens eyes but have lost it thru aging, not young stupid girls.
you must be a man! I don’t agree with you- but i am not here to change your mind. Have a good weekend.

I said all women (obviously an exaggeration but vast majroity, which would include “older” but certainly 20-50 in that group. You can see this in the elderly as well in the massive retirement communities all of the country, with the Villages, FL being the poster child (and also the STD capital of the country) but there are dozens of such communities in every large city in the US and a handful in every medium size city. My last neighborhood was right beside one of these 55+ communities and everyone jokingly calls it “sin city” instead of “sun city”
