Personally I think not everyone is trying to virtue signal. Not everyone that wears a mask or refrains from engaging in life as normal is living in fear. Some people that wear the mask outdoors may be fearful of a passing interaction, and may simply not know any better. Others may do it out of convenience. I frequently wear my mask walking outdoors from building to building, or driving short distances between places that require masks. I'm sure there are people that see me in my car wearing my mask by myself and are thinking I'm an idiot or I'm virtue signalling to random strangers, but I don't care.
I think people that get triggered by others wearing masks speaks volumes about them. J/k. But seriously, just move on and stop judging everyone.
Sorry for the rant.

Honestly, nobody is worried about this. We didn't need the Irish times to tell us, just common sense.Agthatbuilds said:

We know you were fine with it. That's kind of the point.

I don't like wearing my mask, and only do it when I have to, but plenty of people don't seem that bothered. So I'm not sure it's virtue signaling as much as they are just used to it. Hell, my 13 year old daughter played an entire soccer game last week in a mask and didn't miss a beat. It was a little mind blowing.
They finally let elementary school kids in my district go do their 15 minutes of recess outside without a mask this week. I asked my kid this morning, "Was it cool, did you like it?" He said yes! I said what about the other kids,what did they say? He said they all were still wearing their masks, even though they didn't have to.amercer said:

I think that is because of 2 things, either their parents told them to (but they're at school, not doing online, so I doubt this), or they are just conditioned to do it at this point. Which is what I think is going on. Why? Because when I see kids walking home or riding their bikes home after school, about 90% still have their masks on, a 1/2 mile from the school. By themselves. Sad. It's not 8 year old "virtue signaling", it's just what they have been trained to do at this point.

And the fact you say that like you are proud you allowed it to happen says all I need.

What you may need is a lesson in parenting.
I may think something is crazy or stupid, but I need to figure out what is best for my kid and how to best model behavior for my kids. This last year has been an unmitigated **** show for kids and the last thing they need is to see adults making asses out of themselves over things we can't control.
She desperately wants to get back to sports and school. The current restrictions on both are bat**** crazy, but me ranting about that isn't doing her any good. Every kid in the county is wearing masks for spots and none of them have dropped dead yet, so if she wants to play she gets to play.

I see this too. I asked my students why they were wearing masks walking home and that was exactly what they told me. They just forget that they are there. I get that. I think a large portion of drivers forget that they had them on as well. But what did give me hope for the future world was that, aside from one woman, no one else wore a mask to my son's classmate's 5 year old birthday party. It was at a park and we all talked about how great it was to return to some kind of normalcy. I compare it to skinny dipping in college. The first few times you meet with groups maskless, everyone feels so free and almost "naughty" if you will. I being vaccinated and also having antibodies from my January bout with Covid, have been maskless anywhere I am "allowed" to be by the businesses that do not enforce a policy. Since I and pretty much anyone who is vaccinated is no longer any real threat to spread the virus as overwhelming evidence has shown, I cannot tell you how nice it is to be able to personally put Covid in the rear view and move forward.Aust Ag said:They finally let elementary school kids in my district go do their 15 minutes of recess outside without a mask this week.

In TX, they haven't been wearing masks at all for the vast majority of sports. I know it's that way in other states as well. My daughter played soccer all fall without masks. Very few parents wore masks outside as well. Not sure where you are getting that "every kid" in the country is wearing them. Maybe in California and a few other states, sure. They have absolutely useless mandates requiring masks outdoors as well as indoors.Quote:
