1. The "mask thing"

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir to my readers here. It might be worth a try, though.

2. This is my collection of sports masks to wear at the collective gym (as opposed to my home gym, where I have my lifting equipment). The valves allow the exhaled air to flow down instead of all over the edges after accumulating in the breathing pocket.

3. Should masks and vaccines be choices? Absolutely NOT. Any act or behavior associated with a significant chance of harming an unwilling third party are not optional: =>

4. => they must be regulated, prohibited in the cases in which they are harmful and as with any mandatory behavior, those not compliant must be punished.

5. Here is the problem with uninformed or untrained political thinking: this is the 21st century in which 100% of the planet has been divided into nation-states.

6. You may not "opt out" of one. You may try to move to another (it's called immigration) but there is no place on Earth where you can do "whatever you want"

7. (as in "this is Murika, we came here because we wanted freedom to do whatever we wanted" => after genocide and the most horrendous oppressive actions).

8. So... no.

Now, things like abortions, drug use, polyamorous relationships, marrying people of the same sex CANNOT be regulated because they don't hurt YOU

9. (don't try to discuss the nature of life with an evolutionary biologist).

Are you a fundamentalist? Be one at home. Don't approve abortions? Don't have one.

Don't like taxes? FUCK YOU. You can't opt out. Don't like masks? FUCK YOU again. Because it's not about you.
