That’s it? You’ve ranted about masks for weeks and many pages now and that is the best you can come up with? Egriz’s most infamous posters like PR, argh, and CDA (not trying to include myself in that distinguished list) have essentially disagreed with you, while nobody seems to support your conspiracy theories (altho to be fair, maybe your supporters are taking a step back this week).
I’ve practically begged you multiple times to give us the point of your rant, and you purposely ignore that reasonable request, other than to claim “hypocrisy” (which is hilariously ironic, because like most big words, I don’t think you even know what it means).
In the end, you offer no real analysis, and certainly no alternatives or solutions. So it sounds like you are just whining. Normally, I wouldn’t give a shit if I heard a Cat Person whine [do they even make any other sounds?] but it just comes across as so dumb when you consider the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask along with the potential upside vs whatever the hell you are trying to argue.
:lol:
You must be bored. A week later you dig back to quote my post. I'm honored.
I'm still waiting to hear what these conspiracy theories are that I apparently believe in. Would love to hear that.
You really don't remember when "non-essential" businesses were forced to close while other businesses were allowed to be open? Good for you. If I could block that out I would as well. Don't get me wrong, I own a couple "essential" businesses and am coming off a record year. Many other people weren't so lucky.
And just to be clear, when you post these long, drawn out posts it's sharing wisdom or something, but when I respond or share my experiences it's ranting? :clap: That's good stuff.
I really don't know how my opinion (or ranting :lol: ) is so extreme. I don't think we needed to close down schools. Even now I think having kids go two days a week and remote learning the other three doesn't make sense. It's fine if you think it's a great idea. I think many kids are going to really struggle going forward and that bothers me.
I don't like that some businesses were forced to close while others were allowed to stay open. You don't recall this happening and that's fine. I have a non-essential business that was forced to close and two essential businesses allowed to stay open so I feel my opinion on this is ok. Apologies if that bothers you.
I think forcing bars to close at 10 is just to give the impression that we're doing something. I've said before I'm all ears on this one. If evidence comes forward that bars being open from 8am until 10pm, but not later than 10pm is slowing the spread, I'm happy to say I was wrong on that.
I think making people wear a mask when they walk into a restaurant, but then take them off at their table 10 feet from the door is more window dressing. But again, if scientific evidence is presented that it's slowing the spread, I have no problem admitting I was wrong on that.
I don't know why you think I have such an issue with masks. I wear them everywhere I go. I'm very obedient like that! It didn't stop me from getting the virus of course, but not once did you hear me say that masks don't work after it knocked me on my butt. In fact, of all the people I know who have been infected, all of them to my knowledge are pretty obedient mask-wearers. Despite that, I still believe we'd probably be worse off in no one wore masks ever.
Like I said, I'm trying to figure out what is so crazy about my takes? I also think we should have fans at our football games! That hot take might make your head explode! Apologies again.
I look forward to your response in a few days when you're bored and looking for conversation. Can't think of a better way to throw out a few insults and some very awesome memes! :thumb:
