But the immuno-compromised are of course welcome to their needed N95s, since liberal nations don’t have the balls or desire to actually protect their most vulnerable citizens with a universal vaccination mandate.

Once again. Masks were not for your own protection, they were mostly for the protection of others from you.

So... If you took your mask off at the earliest convenience, once you were reasonably safe, it's very hard to take your concern for the immuno-compromised particularly seriously.

The fact that you self-describe your actions as that of a "reasonable informed adult" makes me wonder if you even understood other people's motivations at all.

(Edit, typos)

And wearing two condoms will make your partner safer, and every health professional will agree that yes, that's safer, but it isn't necessary or reasonable and they won't ask you to do that.

What? No, it doesn't. Wearing two condoms makes them more likely to break due to friction. I know it was supposed to be analogy, but for the love of all that is good, do not do that.

I think you pretty much made my point for me there.

Funny, you made mine just fine too.

[–] darq@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn't even make sense. It's just "no u".

I also understand why you would find it confusing.

I didn't find it confusing, it was just non-sequitur. But you clearly don't know how to read.

Ha, said the guy who doesn't know what a non-sequitur is.
