Do you have an estimate of when you're no longer wearing a mask out most places? Like at a crowded store or gym? I'm going maskless a little here and there and I'm wondering if I'm being dumb. (hexbear.net)

What is your reasoning for going maskless?

Mine is that a person I live with a lot has been going maskless. When I go out with them, I feel there's no point in wearing a mask if they're not going to. If they catch an illness we're both going to regardless. I've been criticizing people in my head about no one wearing a mask, but I have to admit, now that I've been out without a mask I can see the temptation of things "feeling normal."

Dunno what you mean by "Shinji"

"Get in the X Shinji" is a meme format that references the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. In it, the main character Shinji shinji-froggy-chair , a mecha pilot, is often reluctant to enter the mecha, much to the frustration of the people around him. While no character ever said "Get in the mecha, Shinji," the sentiment is well recognized by fans of the show
