Went to dinner with my grand kids last night. We're able to dine inside. The friendly, kind manager of the restaurant was talking to our ten month old grand daughter. Her eyes were as big as saucers looking at him from her high chair - listening to him - then as he walked away she burst into terrified crying. She couldn't see his face - it was covered by a big,black face mask. She couldn't see his smile or facial expressions. This is crazy & wrong. She is the happiest baby & this makes me sad. The adults have lost all common sense.
We've been quarantining and masking HEALTHY people for almost one year.
Wearing a mask is like peewee Herman wearing a condom in a porn theatre out of fear of getting an actress in the film pregnant. Its circular logic that makes no god damned sense.
I agree. There will be a whole generation of damaged children about to grow up from this who won't know social cues or how to give affection with touches and hugs.
This is a real danger because they want to make masks the new norm so that we wear them in public from now on.
Be the Wolf amongst Sheep. Stop placating to the ignorant thinking that you're being respectful to them by you wearing one. Walk proudly and freely without one. If you are refused service because you are not wearing one, then so be it. They don't deserve your business. What's interesting is how similar our communities are becoming to the prohibition years. We've got lists of Restaurants and Recreation businesses that quietly reject the masks. They've become the speakeasys of the modern age.
We have a little underground community that shares which places are face friendly as well. A lot of places have lot my business because I refuse to wear one. It’s fine with me, I’ll just keep my money
Face friendly.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I want off this ride
It is totally unhealthy. Babies learn our facial expressions before they understand language. It is frightening, and confusing at best. People in general need to see smiling faces, were social creatures, even us introverts. We’re already seeing the effects of isolation and lack of social interactions.
From the little I remember about my childhood psychology class, babies and toddlers learn a wealth of information from facial expressions.
So yes, this is just another way to damage the youth of our country. I mean, they're not in school yet, so they can't be abused through online "learning" and school closures, so gotta traumatize them with masks instead.
My daughter is 15 months old and it breaks my heart how many socialization opportunities she has lost in the past year. Luckily we have based friends with small children so they have play dates often, but kids need socialization in groups to develop and not become the next unabomber. We will be feeling the cultural and societal effects of COVID for DECADES, not because of the virus itself, but because of the way we responded to it. Trump is a freaking prophet: "the cure can't be worse than the disease."
Agreed. Our brains are wired to see and perceive faces. It's detrimental to continually deprive the brain, especially a child's brain, of the sight of human faces, and I think it distress over time.
Poor baby. I wonder what the implications will be on children’s mental health and I am mad that more people are not concerned about it at all. My 18 month old is not scared of them, thankfully. He still says hi to every single person we pass in the store. About 50% of people ignore him though, I’m assuming because I don’t wear a mask. I’ve had at least 2 women walk up close to him and take off their mask and say how sweet he is that he still says hi to all these people wearing “these stupid masks”
The few times this year I went to to a grocery store with my little one, I made it a point to play “peek a boo” with her constantly. Pulling down my neck gaiter—making the ridiculousness into game and letting her see my smiling face constantly.
Don't even humor them with a neck gaiter
Yep...if you must have a mask to get in to the store wear it around your neck and point to it if anyone says anything...act like you are on your phone
Some people wear the mask and there's no talking them out of it no matter what you say......even when they start having breathing issues....fascinating.....
Im a pretty tough guy but I really am affected by not seeing peoples faces. I choose not to go out much just because I can't stand seeing the mask on every single humans face when I am out and about. I can't hear what they are saying and I have no idea what expression they have or even who the person is half the time. Also, I am always the only person in the store NOT wearing one, and that is also an uncomfortable feeling. The herd mentality is hard to resist when it is all around you all the time.
Makes you realize how much our knowledge differs from reality. If you had asked me pre-plandemic how many people would comply, I would have said around 80%. Boy, was I wrong! Even here in the Free State of Florida, way less than 10% shun the diapers in larger stores. I can go for weeks not seeing one friendly, mask-less face.
I am not bothered being the only one, but then I've never been one to seek social acclaim. It is weird to see everyone masked up--I see the angry ones who occasionally erupt; and the smarmy STASIs with their eyes darting in sidelong movements, waiting for that next hit of adrenaline from narcing on the noncompliant; and I see a lot of sad, scared, lonely people.
It's fucked up, but you need to not wear a mask--whenever and wherever you can--it gives inspiration. Yes, there are assholes, but it's worth it to keep your dignity, and proudly display the face your maker gave you--even if it's rather old and ugly like mine! 🤣
I say this all the time that masks are psychologically stunting childrens development....but the brainwashed sheep just cant comprehend it
My children are also scared of people who wear masks. Its unnatural and its also a lie. I dont want to sacrifice my moral integrety to make other people feel better about their lying.
I have young children. This makes me so sad. My neighbors have a one-year-old who is never seen without a mask. It's messing them up emotionally. My three-year-old doesn't know how to talk to a pair of eyes when we're doing our grocery shopping. Nobody cares about the children - only when it's politically expedient.
Saddest thing.
Yeah, that's cause kids understand the most basic of realities, unhampered by conditioning until they get older. If something seems fucked up, it's probably fucked up. They don't understand all the brainwashing we're subjected to, oh wear the mask bigot, you don't want granny to die do you, it's just one/two/three/entire box layers of cloth, to be able to rationalize why this creeping sense of terror can't be dismissed. They're just scared. Same with clowns, same with trannies, and to have something as natural as an ordinary human face doing everything normal except BEING VISIBLE must be hell for them, especially when everyone is acting like it's fine. "Everyone's ok with this and nobody is going to help me." We were all kids and had nightmares, how many of us had our scariest terrors be the faceless ones?
This is sick.
Agree. My two year old is terrified of people in masks. I rarely take her out but when I do, she tenses up and says "no, no" and sometimes starts crying if we get too close to someone wearing a mask. It's fuxking unnatural for humans to hide their faces. Think of all the body language we communicate with our face. We're designed to pick up on that from the earliest age. It's a detriment to our society.
We tell whoever is talking to my 1 year old that she’s really friendly but the masks are really confusing to her. And then we coax them and say I bet if you pulled down your mask and smiled she’d smile back. Some take the bait and get a baby smile as a result which is as good as gold.
Fear is virtuous now in our clown world. If you aren't living in fear and fearmongering to everyone around you, society says you're the one who's crazy. Remember, feelings are the most important thing ever, ever, ever, ever. Logic and reason have no place in clown world. Let's see what runs out first, our endless fears or our dying freedoms and economy.
If you are required by some cucked company to wear a mask, then do this:
Replace any face covering masks with plastic shields. They're light, attach to hats, and are friendly to glasses, and won't steam them up. They won't expose your skin and respiratory tract to bacteria or other toxins found on masks.
Finally, and most importantly, they allow everyone to see your whole face. This eliminates the "theft of individuality" that the left so loves.
Oh, and you don't have to buy more than one, or throw it in the laundry.
I vaguely remember reading about a bizarrely unethical experiment about this. They were trying to settle the question of nature vs nurture. The children who were shown no affection or emotional support were all kinds of messed up. Children need human interaction for proper development. Hiding faces is the easiest way to strip people of humanity. That's how Romans were able to cheer for death and dismemberment in the Colosseum. There were many types of gladiators, and a large proportion of them wore helmets that totally obscured their faces.
This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy in school.
Bring back dodge ball.
Tell them "no".
