- clairity 5y agofalse, distancing is even simpler and more effective in a wider variety of situations, and suffers from none of the inane identitarian signalling to boot. stop spreading misinformation.
- DangitBobby 5y agoSocial distancing is another example of a sacrifice that people were unwilling to make. Though I wouldn't call it minor.
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoYou can do both. The only identitarian signaling I see in this thread is your post with it's view on people who simply think it's reasonable to wear a mask, even outside.

- DangitBobby 5y agoI honestly can not even wrap my head around why they included the word "outdoor" in their original comment since outside use is such a miniscule portion of mask usage that I have no idea how it could meaningfully contribute to the 99% figure. I didn't really take it to be sincere, maybe more of an accidental strawman. So I guess I just ignored it.
