More than half the population wants to be dominated.
They crave it and love every minute of it.
It gives their life meaning.

I thought they're being tracked through the state health authority, same as immunization records. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.Quote:
Can we assume that there is a database containing the names and DOBs of everyone who gets the vaccine?

The number of outwardly fit & healthy people I see in their 20's and early-30's who are always wearing masks out in public astounds me.
It really does bother me. I want to go engage these people to try and figure out their mindset but that would be weird. I dont even want to be ride about it, I just want to understand. I really do hate what it has done to the younger crowd.
I think people like her wear it because it feels weird not to wear one.Quote:
Then there are people like my fully-vaccinated mother who still wears a mask in HEB. She says she's "modeling good behavior."
That's about where I'm at. I carry one in case it's "required;" I'm not going to make a scene at some local business that's trying to do whatever they think they're supposed to do to stay open and get along w/ local authorities or busybodies. But the ones still making a voluntary point of it have slid down the priority list.Quote:
My personal stance is that I think they are useless but I will do it if the business requires it (my patience is wearing out though). I will prioritize going to businesses that don't require one.
This. We had a family member of my wife visit us from Oregon. When we went to the store, she took her mask off and enjoyed it for a few minutes, then felt guilty seeing so many masked and put hers back on.Noble07 said:I think people like her wear it because it feels weird not to wear one.Quote:

That's good to hear. My HEB still posts a teenager at the door handing out masks.
What was the Astros crowd like in your seats? I'm going in a few weeks and was concerned that I'd end up sitting next to strangers that believe the fear porn.

I have a kid who lives down the street from me who's late teens and very fit. Runs like a cross country runner and nearly every day for the last year I see him take off/return from a run or bike ride wearing a mask. One day recently I saw him take off without a mask and I thought that maybe the spell had been broken but then the next time he was wearing it again.
Old lady (owners I presumed) at The Little Watch Shop told me to put one after I had been sitting waiting for 20 minutes to get battery changed.BowSowy said:
I am curious if a lot of people continue to wear them because they think they'll get harassed if they don't? I haven't even gotten a weird look, let alone anyone saying anything.

Mine has that but they're not real insistent. You can tell they don't want to be doing it and are forced to. It's usually, "would you like a mask sir?" And I politely say "no thanks, I'm good" and nobody says anything.
But it still blows my mind at the number of people wearing masks below the nose. I mean if you're gonna be a sheeple, don't half-ass it.
What gyms are requiring them? Since the Abbot mask mandate the first week was 50/50 and this week 1 of 40 has a mask.TXTransplant said:TarponChaser said:Noble07 said:

Same at my HEB. I usually try to walk past quickly and without making eye contact. If I hear them offer me a mask, I say "No, thank you" and keep walking. Other stores that still require them, I either wear a mask or just don't go inside.
My fitness studio stopped requiring masks in the lobby yesterday. We were all thrilled and literally put our masks in the trash right then.
Stupid Market Street has a facility-wide policy that all the stores have to adhere to. Last hold-out where I really like to shop is Trader Joe's. I think they are West Coast-based, so it will probably be a while.

Have to say the whole wide ranging psychoanalysis of this mask thing is pretty entertaining to observe as one who really doesn't give a damn one way or the other. First world problems indeed.

And most people are like you, wearing one because other people are. You have had covid AND the vaccine. You should never put a mask on again in your GD life. No offense meant,, but You need to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.
Heard that before.Quote:
It's not really a gym. It's a fitness studio that offers very specific classes.
