I've noticed a lot of people have been getting masks that they wear not only for its safety purpose, but also for it's fashion appeal. Everyone has their own dress preferences, and, for many, that doesn't stop at the mask.
So, post your mask, NS.
I wanted to go into a gear shop, but they required a mask. I didn't have one on me, but they were selling them anyway. For $2, I got a black KEEN brand mask. It's my go-to now.
Usually have these at work. One size fits all my ass. Are those keen ones adjustable? That would be nice for surgical/procedure masks- I've got cuts on my ears from the fucking tight ass ear loops. I definitely prefer the tie back masks, but those are now mostly used in the OR since they don't fog up goggles.

Yeah, they're adjustable. There's little plastic adjustment things you pull on to tighten or loosen. The mask fogs up glasses pretty easily, which can get annoying.
skiindianaI honestly don't understand you partisan jerks. I don't vote for Republicans usually but it shouldn't really matter. Why do you have to make everything 'us versus them'?
I have become incredibly tired of people who identify their personality and morality through their political views. That's what makes this mask thing so stupid. I wear it whenever required, but you all are triggered because I don't THINK the same way as you do. Thought police to the rescue.

I don't really give a fuck about political "sides" usually both sides are a shitshow and fully aligning with one just to join a team is dumb. However you've been angrily riding the "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me"train for months now.
It's crazy that wearing a mask, etc is when all the don't tread on me folks decided to take their stand. All the shit the goverment does is fine, but masks, masks are fucking tyranny. I'll scream at anyone who tells me I can't come into their store in the deeply misguided name of freedom.
Also for everyone who's veins are popping out of their heads about masks and store closing, maybe if you guys followed any guidelines we would have been past this in a few weeks.
Really the restrictions weren't that bad. But for some reason, people are so entitled that anybody telling them they can't do anything makes peoples blood boil. I don't think anyone has been stoked about covid and the shitshow it's caused. It's really shown who people are though. People who don't scream at employees and spit on them, wear their masks, are nice to people, and try to make the best of it. Then people who freak out say FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FREEDOM ARRRRRRR IM NOT GONNA WEAR A MASK FUCK YOU!!!!!
I guess the nice people are sheep, and the angry ones are saving the planet.
skiindianaMasks and closing are two totally different things.
Masks I can understand and I wear. You guys just cannot stand someone doing what they're supposed to but thinking differently than you. These days we all are required to think the same or else...
Closings though are never o.k. It is pure rich ass privileged. It destroys the lives of low income people. I won't rant but that shit is really fucked up
Lol, I have a bunch of friends that think differently than me. I'm always open to different opinions, cultures, religions etc. You're doing this whole "us verse them" thing. I get that it's happening on both side but that's not what I'm doing. Just don't freak out and swear at everyone in the name of freedom.
Could things have been done better all around? Definitely. But it kind of came up fast, and people did the best they could. Even from the very beginning people were angry, like properly angry. Raging. Businesses hadn't even closed yet really just a few ski areas and people were melting. I think that's some bullshit whether your a conservative, liberal, christian, buddhist, white, black, old, young, etc.
Me disliking the people freaking out and being aggressive chads, is just because I'm not into that. It has nothing to do with any liberal versus conservative or anything similar.
I was super bummed when I lost my job, couldn't get a job, couldn't go to Australia to work, couldn't really go anywhere. I did what any normal person would do. I ate shitty food, drank beer, and dealt with it. Being angry at the world isn't going to fix anything. I've just seen to much outrage thrown at people for no reason for just trying to do their jobs. People at restaurants and stores getting screamed at or spit on. Idk. People need to smoke some weed and chill the fuck out.
Work is now requiring them due to the statewide mandate. I had only worn them for short periods of time up until today which I wore my TallT purple mask. It was tolerable.
JAHpowWhen the covid panic first hit I saw a lady in Walmart with one of those on.
I'v never worn it in public for that i wore the same 3m n95 8511 all winter then the other day I found the rest of the box so I got 7 new ones for shopping whatever
Ya a heard about the breather hole thing but hopefully I won't need to go to tge mayo clinic but what's with these people wearing masks below their nose
skiindianaDid you know n95 masks don't protect anyone since they have a vent which exhausts your evil disgusting breathing droplets everywhere? You are not allowed into the Mayo Clinic wearing an n95 mask so don't worry these 'facts' are supported by 'science'.
You shouldn't need to get a different mask though - no one actually cares if masks work. They just want to make sure you're part of the hive-mind. So virtue signal away! No problems seen here.
Coughing into your elbow makes you the devil but n95 masks say 'welcome to Target'!
