Is airsoft dying?

I think being unable to see other people’s faces is another social fragmentation. If you go back a few decades, complete strangers on public transit would gladly converse with one another during their commutes. I don’t think that’s something we should be glad about losing. But that’s just me. Phones and masks seem like the main culprits.

And yeah if I’m going to be surrounded by a bunch of randoms in a confined space… being able to see their faces gives me a better sense of physical security. You can usually read a person before they do something stupid or dangerous

Once upon a time strangers used to smile at one another, or at least some form of acknowledgement that made you feel a shared sense of humanity if nothing else. We live in a city after all. If I can’t see your face, my brain is going to imagine one. And the only masked face I can ever imagine is that of a fearful person. The only shallow thinker here is you, if you cannot even conceive of the possibility that making such a drastic change to human appearance has subtle consequences.

I understand wearing one if you feel sick, but I think everyone just looking like faceless ghouls is a cost that needs to be weighed. The face is an important part of human connection and I dislike not being able to see another person’s. It makes me less likely to want to interact with them. A fully masked society loses something

People who are still wearing masks: why?

Haha splendid post

All money is fake dingus. Some just have more believers than others

Looks like the most astroturfed protest ever.

I’m still using wired headphones son. My life isn’t any tougher for it

You’re gonna get shit on for not being a standard reddit trope. But I respect it

How is what he said cowardly? You people are weird

Lol

Would that travel ban extend into 2023? Because there are countries outside the US still experiencing covid

Doesn’t matter. Unless the entire world agrees to the same lockdown measures, which may not have even worked the way you believe, the US would have to ban air travel indefinitely. I get that people want more reasons to hate Trump, but what you’re saying makes little sense

The lockdown would have to be never ending

It would have been physically impossible to prevent it from spreading to the US, unless all incoming flights were suspended. And we know how xenophobic that is perceived to be. The virus has entered endemic mode, and that’s a good thing

Alright your first point didn’t stick at all so now you are all over the place, assuming you know what I think about socialist policies

Try explaining to a single mother buying diapers why she should care enough about the Gini coefficient to go spend more money somewhere else. Corporate leadership is paid too much. Aside from that, they are cheaper to consumers because they are more efficient with their resources. Environmentally and economically. Economies of scale and all that

Yep just a bunch of smarmy elite liberals with their WFH jobs who have never actually worked retail. It’s just cool to hate on corporations

Are we more concerned with the merit of the ruling or the popularity of the judge? Get a grip

There’s almost zero basis for this ruling to be overturned

Good faith? Nah. There were plenty of people on this very subreddit taking great pleasure in unvaccinated health care workers losing their jobs. And those comments were upvoted by the hivemind
