How dumb and selfish are people that still refuse to wear them? It's act of consideration if there's even a chance it can help prevent the spread of covid. I just don't get it. I like my bandana routine, and I do not believe it has been costing me testasterone. Joe Rogan is a macho dummy. I don't think Bill Gates is trying to microchip us either...

Whoa, holy ****... Yes, you're 100% right and good job calling out Rogan's nonsense.

I agree. Good job. Trump should also be mandating them at rallies (and I apply this same thinking to BLM protests, but as far as I have seen, wearing masks has been highly encouraged).

Lot of people without masks. Including CNN's reporter in the attached video.

I think all of that is scummy. Of course I don't approve. Still, I think the vast majority of people participating in protests (including the ones I went to) had masks. People were handing masks and sanitizer to those who needed it.

Again, I DO NOT THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BE PROTESTING WITHOUT MASKS. It's just not representative of the overall movement.

Trump is actively encouraging his supporters to avoid masks.

You're just responding to trolls who expect you to respond in good faith.

They don't argue in good faith.

Oh, really? Oh, OMG, really? And you brought this up now? Wow. Wow. Thank you. So much.

I've brought it up repeatedly since it happened. Pay attention.

What are you contributing to the conversation here?

I'm actually not even sure what you mean. What is now?

I don't think you argue in good faith. I was joking about it.

You are wrong about that!

Dahs bases his opinions on what he believes to be so.
He is the epitome of debating in "good faith".
He's not always right (probably) and you (or I) don't agree with him all the time, BUT he's not trolling anyone.

Not so sure about your pal........... the indeterminate one I call Salamander.
He's the (likely) troll.

He claims to be moderate and only complains about one side. It’s a tell.

I'm not sure either half of that is true. Maybe you have me confused with someone else?

I mean, I would call myself a moderate Republican. Or maybe a moderate conservative. But I've never claimed to be independent. Though I might as well be - I voted Democratic in the last Presidential election and the last 4 times I voted for senators.

I do see where you're coming from. It seems to be a common M.O. around here. It used to be MikeT and tec, now it's all3 and GuitarGuy claiming to be moderate independents and yet appearing to be nothing close to that. I don't know how much of that is just that people want to identify as independent for personal identity reasons (they want to see themselves as independent thinkers) and how much people maybe were moderate when they were younger, then as they grow older they fairly typically drift right and the window drifts left until they wind up way off center.

Fwiw, I don't think you are bad faith, dahs.

Fair, and a good observation. I apologize and will adjust my thinking.
