It was the reason for some guys, for sure. The same crowd who refuse to wear safety glasses under any circumstances were pretty anti-mask.

One of my idiot uncles cut the seatbelt out of his car.

oh god, and the same people end up almost deaf by 40. i wear hearing protection to almost every public event.

Safety glasses actually work, the face rags were security blankets. And I'm not claiming N95s did nothing, i know they helped. literal cloth rags don't stop fuck all, they can't even stop dust, ask anyone ever tried that method for shoveling grain.

They seem to help surgeons, what was the difference?

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Surgeons change them every 20 minutes, and it's not to help them.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then why wear something, if it's actually the opposite of help, especially during something crucial like surgery?

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Read that again, captain strawman

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure, just did. Is having read it again supposed to be a game changer?

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you've realized why your question was asinine. Doubt it, though.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

How would it be? Elaborate.
