    Nobody is going to do that here. That’s the fast track to being found in a dumpster somewhere with a cut from your ear to your mouth, since weights are $3 a pound now, and it’s too expensive to put someone in the river

    I need everyone’s input. I was at the farmer’s market last Sunday. And being I’m in Los Angeles, we are supposed to be wearing masks. Plus of course, there is food around. Everyone had a mask but a single vendor. The dude sneezed and in the direction of his product and crowd. I did not do or say a thing. I made the conscience choice to not buy anything from him, because I was right there when it happened. When I got home, I felt guilty because others did not know and potentially could have gotten sick.

    I’ll be at the same market next week. What if he is not wearing a mask again, do I tell who is in charge of the market?

    I don’t want this to be a debate about the virus itself please. And, I fully understand the attitude of not being a rat snitch. But, do I have a responsibility to others by saying something?

    Thank you!

    Bringing information to the attention of a private citizen, so that they may make an informed choice is a world apart from calling public authorities.
    We of all people should understand that, given the very nature of what this forum is founded upon.
    When you find out someone is selling shitty or contaminated gear, you don’t call the fucking cops. You bury their asses by letting the world know that their product os fucked up.

    TY and hear you. Trust me, I am not here to get under folks skin or be a smart ass, sincerely.

    If I report this, who knows what will happen to this vendor - I don’t know how severe this market will come down on him. The climate of this market is all about etiquette, distancing and precautions (which I don’t want to be included in this discussion because it is what it is here). I could talk to him personally, but he may possibly play the race card as he is Chinese and frankly on Sunday morning with my wife, I don’t see confrontation being wise.

    If he is dealing in such a place, knowing full well their rules of doing business, you can’t concern yourself with how the directors would react. Again, world of difference between voluntary private transactions, and compulsory public rulings.

    I appreciate your input. I likely will. I’m steering clear of a personal interaction in this situation. Have a good one Gallow.

    We have that up north too. It's garbage - makes people feel entitled to being Judge, Jury, and executioner.

    My neighbour up the street at my former home is wealthy and between him, wife, and kid they have 5 vehicles. Someone called the RCMP on him (I don't know what the American equivalent would be - maybe a watered down version of DEA or FBI).

    Someone took it upon themselves to say 5 cars in a driveway is automatically a party. He's just rich.
    Imagine having a lovely dinner only to be interrupted by Feds at the door asking to look around to ensure covid practises are being adhered to

    This whole thing is a personal preference- even if there is a “law”.
    I would say talk to the person and ask them if they could please use a face covering. The respect level diminishes if you go and “tell on them” as opposed to asking them to wear a face covering. Hell thAt could be a t- shirt around your head.
    Everyone is assuming the individual is not following the order by not wearing a face covering. What if he has an exemption due to medical reasons?
    The personal preference comes into to play that the people that are offended by not wearing a face covering won’t go to his place. The others won’t give a shit and go.
    Also, you will see people wearing face coverings that really are not functioning as intended because their nose is out or it doesn’t fit properly, etc.
    In that case, if it bothers someone, they shouldn’t go out period.
    You have people on both ends of the spectrum. As part of upper management, I need to enforce the laws at work, rather I agree with them or not. I need to try and make it safe for the employees that come to work everyday, whether I agree or not. That is the culture of our company. Outside, it is different . I will not ask someone to put on a mask and I will not stay away from them.

    Good points, TY. I just thought it was odd in this particular setting. I might just let this go. You are right, if other shoppers in the market clearly see he isn’t wearing a mask, it’s their choice whether to buy there or not. I never thought of the most obvious solution.

    And here people were thinking that NY was full of a bunch of sheep.
    Nah, the majority of them are not interested in kowtowing either; they just have a very different method of dealing with shit.
    God help that state’s officials if that number of people ever decided to take up arms instead of smartphones. They just need to realize that another NY native (and fantastic artist, even if you disagree with his politics) Immortal Technique was right:
    “So I’ma need every generation to put your hands up,
    ‘Cause you can only get em off your back when you stand up.”

    I don’t agree with snitching, but I may confront someone depending on how I’m feeling that day. If everyone in a place is wearing a mask and one person is not, especially if they have it on and are not wearing it right, my first thought is “what makes you so special?” To me, it’s equivalent to them saying “you guys are all pussies, fuck your masks.” It shows disrespect. It’s not that I believe the mask is going to help, because I don’t know. But the thing is, neither does that guy. He’s no scientist, I’m not a scientist; but let’s just follow the rules for a while till we figure out how to handle this.

    Even the scientists don’t know anything for certain right now. It’s all best guess and has a lot of “mays” “mights” and “maybes” involved.
    The reasoning behind the mask suggestion is actually more of an ethical one at this point. Since it has a potential harm reduction for health safety and the economy and no real downside on either of those (for the sake of this particular debate “muh freedom” isn’t a factor, as no one’s challenging freedom, they’re challenging convenience). As such, even the potential for reduction far outweighs any negative (of which there really aren’t any).

    My own personal gripe with it isn’t the masks, but how it’s being portrayed. Any of us familiar with the body of scientific literature understand this problem all too well. “May” and “maybe” is being treated like “will” and “shall” by those reporting on the findings.

    I've heard more then one doctor say that wearing a mask for a long period of time is counter productive, it restricts breathing over time, you breathe in more Co2, which then raises Cortisol levels and cytokines and ultimately weakens your immune system .
    and a cloth mask vs a tiny virus does nothing to stop the virus anyhow, its ike putting up a chain link fence to stop mosquitos

    to some people masks CAN become more a political and 'submission' statement (and acknowledgement of fear) then any sort of real tool , imo.

    you've got idiots alone in their car driving down the road wearing a mask , lol

    You can’t get in a store around here without a mask. Home Depot was refusing entry yesterday to anyone without a mask.

    they seemed to have been wrong on nearly every front thus far.. guys like Fauci, who is a business partner with Bill Gates, only have one main goal in life, mandatory Vaccination of the entire planet. he wants everyone living in a state of 'fear' so that when they role out mandatory vaccinations in order to return to work, school, travel, etc.. the public will accept it without hesitation

    Oh man gotta love people wearing masks in their own vehicles. Probably the same ones using dental dams when eating pussy.

    Now as for the safety of using a mask, I’ve been told that viruses travel through the water droplets we exhale/cough/sneeze. Those water droplets can be caught in the fibers of a mask, thereby reducing transmission of the virus. The virus on its own is not going to be filtered by a mask, but the impurities in the air to which viruses attach to, will.

    But, I’m thinking - this is a great time to rob people. I mean every shmuck & their mom is wearing some retarded looking mask

    Hey - it’s the guy in the mask, well - try to be more specific


    I’m not wearing a mask - I’m not going anywhere(so thankful to have the wife face this shit head on) + she can’t pass time like the pro. . . I’m used to spending hours starring into nothing

    I’m not wearing one either, but for different reasons.
    A: I’ve already had and gotten over CoV-2.
    B: With my facial hair, unless I were wearing a full headcover, it would be pointless.

    B can be solved by me finding a good cosplayer and having them make me the parts for a full set of Fallout Power Armor and sealing the joints myself. I’d wear that just to fuck with people.

    Guys, I’ll always speak my mind - not deliberately trying to be an a-hole.

    A: has been documented you can get it again.

    A-1: you need testing to know if you have it or not , thus out of respect for others wear one, because assume you have it, because not enough tests are available.

    B: even with facial hair, if the mask stops 75, 50, 25% of infected material from passing, then 75, 50, 25% of the spread has been reduced to others. The mask is to protect others. Unless it’s a N95 mask, it’s not likely to help you. But of course, the argument could be made, that if a person is worried that they can catch this they shouldn’t leave the house. I guess it’s a little like the second hand smoke thing. Sure, it’s your “right” to smoke in public, but if you don’t want to inhale the second hand smoke, just stay at home.

    C: my wife, friends and co-workers are getting fed-up with people eager to get out and spread the disease to others. That means they must be exposed to it at much higher rates. They are starting to suggest among themselves that if you don’t want to practice the social courtesy of social distancing or wearing a mask in public it’s of course your right. But they sure really don’t have to accept or treat you or your family members as a patient(s). Unusual times have unusual circumstances. Maybe you’ll start seeing signs in medical offices that say they have a right to refuse service. You have your rights and freedoms, they have theirs. Have you ever considered the fact that the very profession that is trying to keep you and yours alive and healthy is getting disgusted by everyone’s whining and selfishness. The ICU is starting to fill more, they have more important things to do than bitch and point fingers.

    As I said, just my perspective and don’t mean offense. Simply another view to the situation. Now for those whose areas that are not really affected, I understand your frustration. Question is, I’m guessing that in your regions you still manage to catch colds or the flu (which is a Coronavirus) which means it’s logical to assume that you could catch this as well. Now if you don’t have a high density of at high risk individuals, then it’s logical to NOW take a different approach than different areas of the country that do.

    this is interesting..

    when this crisis first started, the general public was told over and over again , do NOT buy masks, save them for the nurses and doctors. donate your masks if you have them .. people were getting arrested for supposedly hoarding masks.

    so the general public does its job , does what its told so the medical workers could have what they need. and we, the public had no masks cause we left them for the medical workers..

    now the medical workers have the right to choose not to treat us cause we are not wearing a mask !! lol.. we already gave the mask up for the medical workers to have in the first place.

    lol .. what a cluster Fk

    I’m actually completely on board with your idea. I always found it goofy that nearly every private profession can refuse service, except for medical providers. The only time they get away with it is when it’s in the letter of the law with not feeding addictions in chronic painkiller hunters.
    Bear in mind though, you’re talking to someone who won’t visit a doctor unless something is literally broken or ripped from my body. I even quit going to a uro, because I no longer care about doing TRT “above board”. It’s not some stupid “I’m invincible” nonsense, but I just refuse to participate in modern society’s bullshit of every sniffle and pain needing medical attention. Death is the only certainty in life, and I have no interest in going out of my way to dodge my inevitable encounter with Grim.

    Well hopefully he won’t visit sometime soon. Reading your posts you have a tremendous amount to offer others and you would be/are an incredible role model. Just my sincere 2 cents.

    My hope is that I’ll die while I’m still indifferent. If I make it to the point where death seems like the better option, I’ve lived too long.
    It’s funny, but I assumed years ago that I’d not make it past 21, and I had the drug habits and idiot social circle to make it likely. As such, pretty much everything for me is “bonus time”. I just go about my life in fashions that please me and do what I can to help others who want it.
    Eventually though, we all go, so I figure that the absolute best that I can do is to make it there without a bunch of regrets and “what if”s. My life insurance policy is enough to bury me and pay off the mortgage on the house the girlfriend and I are buying, I carry no debt, etc. so I could comfortably go tomorrow knowing that I wasn’t an inconvenience for anyone, and that’s extremely important to me.

    Your practicality and preparation for the inevitable is evident.

    Both the wife and I have each other’s covered when it happens and have it in our living wills that we don’t want x, y or z medically done if we get to a certain point.

    My wife is frustrated by my losing interest in life. I feel I’ve worked my ass off, accomplished everything I wanted to and am in a nice space because of my efforts. It’s comfortable waking up or going to bed, knowing that if you go, there are no regrets and your loved ones are covered.

    so the general public does its job , does what its told so the medical workers could have what they need. and we, the public had no masks cause we left them for the medical workers..

    now the medical workers have the right to choose not to treat us cause we are not wearing a mask !! lol.. we already gave the mask up for the medical workers to have in the first place.

    lol .. what a cluster Fk
    Here, the cops are stopping folks out walking without a mask, even if they are alone, and giving them a few masks, sealed in bags for free. There is no reason to not have a mask if you wanted one.

    to be honest ,, I bought masks for my whole family 5 years ago. I gave each person in my family of 6 their own mask and told them to just keep it in their rooms, cause one day they might need it.

    Out in blessed Los Angeles, as soon as they allowed certain stores to open or allowed curb-side pick; a LOT of folks just said screw it, no masks, no distancing.

    I take a bit different approach . we are eternal spiritual beings just having a temporary physical experience.
    life is just a short little experience in one 'frequency' , out of millions of different frequencies in the universe. physical light (the prism of existence as we know it) only makes up about 5% of the universe. life is just a momentary experience in this one frequency and this one 'light' prism..

    the death rate is , one per person and we are all going to make it. but we are just passing by, its just a momentary physical experience. lots of other 'frequencies' to explore. we are all just taking turns traveling through this 'experience' , but there is an infinite amount of experiences out there we will continue to pass through
    70 years on earth , being an eternal spiritual being, is just a small blip of an experience in this 'realm' (or frequency)

    Interestingly, that’s probably the only explanation of a ‘spirituality’ that I have ever read that doesn’t conflict in any way with my deeply ingrained nihilism.
    No “deeper meaning”, express or implied. No compulsion to justify nor explain consciousness or existence, etc. So yeah, none of the shit that normally makes me think “you’re just digging for some kind of self-importance that just isn’t there, likely because you’re unsatisfied as fuck with this life”.

    The only thing/person in my life that makes me feel like I need to go on longer & try to keep myself together is my son - his importance is 100x more than my own

    Has been since he was born


    Without the feeling of “someone really does depend on me” I’d be in srs trouble



    My #1 real life priority is to teach him as much as possible while I’m around. . . .

    to some people masks CAN become more a political and 'submission' statement (and acknowledgement of fear) then any sort of real tool , imo.

    you've got idiots alone in their car driving down the road wearing a mask , lol
    its amazing people are so scared they wear a mask driving, doing yard work over 100' away from anyone...wouldn't doubt if theirs people wearing them all day in their house.
