Sitting in a restaurant in Santa Barbara and these two dudes come in. Shorter guy even has one of those small hand sanitizer things my wife keeps in her purse strapped to his belt loop. Proceed to sit down and eat. Perhaps they're just waiting two more weeks. Can't make this **** up in 2024.

The only thing worse than a mask wearer is someone that takes a pic of them and posts it.

In the realm of Eldoria, Hero Elian wore a Covid mask and a hand sanitizer bottle on his belt loop. Armed with a sword of light and his protective gear, he ventured into plague-ridden lands, cleansing dark magic with each spritz, bringing hope and health to ailing kingdoms.

Completely disagree. Finding them in the wild and documenting the encounter is part of the fun. It's like hanging head mounts on the wall.

No, wearing the mask is way worse.

I was in the grocery store yesterday, and saw an older man with a mask on that said "Vietnam Veteran". I couldn't help but think that so many had to serve in that war because the government told them to go to war. 50 years later the government tells them to put a piece of cloth on their face, and they oblige. Some people just never wake up.

I appreciate the pic. Nobody was doxxed.

It just shows that lunatics live among us. And they vote for Democrats.

Dogs are animals, they lick their ass, that is nasty. Don't blame anyone for wanting something to cleanse their hands of dog. Some people keep them in their house.

Cool. I keep a small bottle in my hunting pack to use after I gut a deer that I killed.

In summary, no one gives a **** But if you're one of those maskers that carries one on your belt whilst wearing your mask in public, you're just a damned moron

About a year ago or so, I'm driving down the highway and come up behind an old beat up truck with a Purple Heart license plate. As I pass, I see the driver is an old dude, that probably served (and was wounded) in the Korean War. He's in there by himself with the windows up - wearing a damned mask.

It was sad to see that this dude has seen the worst of humanity and even took a bullet - but is convinced that the air that he breathes in his own country is harmful.

Wearing a mask while taking a picture of someone wearing a mask would be even worse

If that's in California, I'm surprised everyone isn't wearing one. Now, if that was, say, rural Texas, then that would be shocking, but Cali gonna Cali.

Cali probably has more republicans than any other state.

Even more than Texas? Cause them could be fighting words if not.

This. Being overly concerned with how others feel like living is a liberals wet dream.

open toe shoes in public.

But they are overwhelmed by the liberal majority.

Maybe they are surgeons about to go into surgery?

Thats the only logical reason in my opinion.

In 2020 California had more votes for Trump than Texas. Of course Biden got votes than total votes cast in Texas. California has an almost unbelievable voter turnout rate

WGAS.

OP is just a different side of the snowflake coin giving this any thought, let alone posting about it.

Nope.

Of the 22 million, about 10 million (or 46%) are Democrat and 5 million (24%) are Republicans. The remaining 6.5 million (30%) are independents or registered to other parties, according to the most recent Report of Registration from the California Secretary of State released in February 2021.

**** California

Yeah because the only reason someone could be wearing a mask is because they are still scared of Covid. Honestly people like OP just as sad as the last few people obsessed with catching Covid.

It's true, although perhaps the true metric is conservatives, not actually officially republicans as pointed out in the post above. But the numbers are so skewed, you'd never guess.

That said, lots of less crazy parts to the state than people realize, you just can't find those in the main cities.

When I was working on the coast for a few months in 2022, right after that POS newsom had just put the mask mandate back in place for scary omicron, there was actually push back in the rural communities, like arroyo grande, as well as Pismo beach. I grew to really appreciate Pismo during that trip because I could see that there were people who were absolutely done being ****ed around with. On the other hand, going back to San Luis Obispo (which I used to love, and in one of the most beautiful parts of the country) was incredibly depressing. Covid killed that city. I hadn't felt the fear in the air since leaving SF, but you could almost see it. And the looks in peoples eyes, walking along what used to be the vibrant parts of the city around the mission, were devastating. People actually looked dead inside.

Even though the mask mandates were back in effect during that trip, the mask nazis were kept at bay. I was asked by people going into coffee shops and grocery stores if I wanted a mask. I politely said no, and they moved onto the next. In San Luis Obispo, I was generally the only one in the entire city without a mask, and people left me alone. I honestly don't think people realized that was even an option. They all looked so confused when they'd see me walk in, but no one got actively angry and aggressive with me like when I was in SF a year before. In Pismo, almost everyone was unmasked, so the people at the grocery stores offering masks did it more out of obligation than anything else, but no one enforced it.

Yea outside of SLO & Santa Barbara most of the central coast is rational. I moved up there after being in LA for the lockdowns and it was quite a relief. Even spots like Buellton & Solvang where you'd think there might be a bunch of insanity there really wasn't.

How does one live in Santa Barbara and remain that pasty white?
