The water isn’t coming out of this cooler fast enough, I’ll punch a hole in the top with some scissors.

The coffee took too long to brew, so I cut a big hole in the filter.
Why is my coffee full of grounds?

I’ve heard similar, but more subtle things from otherwise reasonable people. I heard a friend choosing the thinnest fabric they could for their mask because it was easier to breathe through.

You can’t fix stupid.
If she lives in the US, her vote can count more than 3 times as much depending on the state she lives in due to electoral college:

But that is (potentially) way more reasonable. A thin fabric, especially if it is still high threadcount is likely considerably more effective than nothing, which is what a mask with a hole in front of your mouth is. A properly fit mask made of thin fabric is probably way more effective than a bandana or a tshirt tied around your face.
Even the industrial dust masks with the outlet valve (which I see a distressing number of people wearing) might reduce the spray factor more than a mask with a hole in the front simply because the vent is facing down instead of forward, although the flip side is they might actually increase the exhalation velocity and cause more turbulent dispersal of droplets – this is all supposition on my part.
Honestly I am glad people are trying. I’ve seen some pretty bad masks out there, but at least they are trying to do their best even if they aren’t terribly bright or skilled. Wimply normalizing mask wearing is a huge accomplishment. The only thing that truly pisses me off are the people wearing the blue medical respirators incorrectly. It is a scare resource, and while there are reasons for members of the public to wear them outside of a medical setting, if you have one please use it properly, or give it unused to someone who needs it.

Lets hope she doesn’t use the same “logic” when her husband complains condoms are uncomfortable.

Y’all are fixated on the mask. I’m wondering why he showed everyone on the internet the PIN to the card reader sitting there.

this trashbag is 100% doing this to “protest” mask orders but is too much of a coward to admit it when confronted.
