RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Lmao what are you talking about? This is absolutely nothing like putting sunblock on only your arms and not your legs. Wearing a condom with holes in it isn't partially protecting you. A space suit without a helmet is not protecting you. A cup full of water with a hole in the bottom does not hold water. A mask that does not cover your nose and mouth does not offer any real additional protection to airborne pathogens or irritants.
It is absolutely other people's business, because what if a doctor told this person to wear a mask to reduce spread of a disease that the person is carrying? Now, they are putting others at an increased risk of contracting the disease. What if they are wearing a mask because they are immunocompromised? I don't want to kill someone just because they are an idiot and wear a mask wrong.
Maybe think for longer than 3 seconds before acting self righteous, posting your gut response might make you look like a moron.
