most people can't really get a worthwhile quality of life like that. maybe life is worthwhile to you walking around in an N95 respirator, but not to me, at least not... indefinitely. I'd rather be dead TBH. IMO it makes sense to wait to die to be dead. Why be dead while you're still technically alive? What are you trying to optimize for? Days you woke up? And for transparency, I am triple vaccinated (maybe more, I lost count), have had 0 covid infections as far as I know, masked for a long time while it seemed to make sense.

  I didn't wish for anything, I stated my calculus, and I'm pretty comfortable with it. Not sure what's unfair about my comment, let alone completely.

    Your calculus doesn't relate to anyone else. It is like a billionaire saying that poverty doesn't exist.

    Wearing masks while outdoors is very important for combating air pollution alone. If you don't know what air pollution does to people, see https://youtu.be/KwTR1FX-NPA https://youtu.be/KwTR1FX-NPA and optionally https://youtu.be/51AFRAwu8-Y https://youtu.be/51AFRAwu8-Y.

  Why are you insulting the people you're seemingly trying to convince of something? What's going on there? What are you doing here?

    Those are facts, not insults. HN isn't known for sugar-coating facts. If they offend you, consider asking yourself why.
