it’s interesting to see how common it is for people in NYC to still wear them sometimes, especially when on the subway (the air is shitty, so it makes sense).
I doubt it will be much of a problem here, except for those who always refused. yeah, it sucks, but it’s a lot better than getting sick— or dying.
I have wealthy lib family members who live in NYC. One recently asked my spouse, who is an RN regularly exposed to this deadly virus thanks to liberal/fascist anti-maskers, if covid was still a thing.
ugh, hexbear trolls...
??? someone sharing their personal anecdote with you is trolling? what the fuck is your problem?
At the risk of sounding paranoid, the person you're talking to shows more indicators of being paid to post than anyone I've yet encountered.
At least I hope they are, the alternative is too bleak to contemplate
Got my xibux baby. $3000/month + health care and free kung pao chicken, all for dunking on libs on a tiny website nobody knows about from the comfort of my own home. What’s not to like? “Once we trick the foolish Americans into masking again by posting personal anecdotes on obscure websites…then the dawn of communism will have truly begun!”
I'd say the same but there's clearly no helping you
says the troll
I'm sorry about my alt's behavior
I assure you were are unfailingly sincere. If we were trolling there'd be more emojis.
Foul! Implying the presence of a mental illness as an insult. 10 points from Gryffindor!
get in
says the troll
I'm sorry my alts [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are misbehaving.
DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.
This is not how my alt is supposed to behave, he should know better than to commit fallacies himself.
sorry you need some psychopathic conspiracy theory to justify your existence. but people just hate you
I wear one on the subway and it also helps a lot with smells. That "car that smells like shit" is often not noticeable at all.
In the borroughs I never see it.
really? I do. Brooklyn and queens, anyway.
The only thing that sticks out to me is scooters running red lights and stop signs all day, but no masks in sight in both Brooklyn and Bronx.
I guess Sunnyside to be specific and Morris Park.
