I deal with this by sanitizing before I touch any surfaces inside the vehicle. I don't have much of a choice in the matter at the moment since my glasses slide right off my face if I try and wear a mask with them on, and if I try to drive without them, the world will be in for a bad time.

Yeah, my glasses fog up when I wear a mask. Which is mostly fine when I'm walking, not a good time if I'm driving.

Fun facts for you guys;
Understanding the History of Disease and vaccination is oh so important, if we want to make an informed decision. So here’s just a few interesting facts of the small pox era.

‼️ In the 38 years preceding the start of inoculation in 1721, deaths from smallpox relative to the number born was 90 per 1,000 & relative to the number of burials 64 per 1,000. In the 38 years after the start of inoculation, deaths from small pox relative to the number born increased to 127 per 1,000.. a 41% increase... and relative to the number of burials 81 per 1,000... a 27% increase. The medically sanctioned operation was as likely to start an epidemic as to stop one.

‼️ Since the late 1700s, the medical profession has supported vaccination, even though there was never a trial where one group was vaccinated & compared to another group of the same size that was not vaccinated.

‼️The Medical Observer for 1810 contesting particulars of 535 cases of small pox after vaccination, 97 fatal cases, 150 cases of vaccine injuries, with the addresses of ten medical men including two professors of anatomy, who had suffered in their own families from vaccination.

‼️I’m 1898 Dr. Alexander Wilder also noted that during the 1871-1872 pandemic, the vaccinated often contracted severe smallpox more rapidly than the non vaccinated.
“Never, however, did the faith in vaccination relieve so rude a shock as in the Great Small-Pox epidemic of 1871 and 1872. Every country in Europe was invaded with a severity greater than had ever been witnessed during the three preceding centuries. In England, the number of deaths from the disease was increased from 2,620 in 1870 to 23,126 in 1871 and 19,064 in 1872, falling again to 2,634 in 1873. Upon the continent, particularly in France and Germany, the visitation was even more severe. In Bavaria, for example, with a population vaccinated more than any other country of Northern Europe, except Sweden, which experienced the greatest that had ever been known. What was even more significant, MANY VACCINATED PERSONS IN ALMOST EVER PLACE WERE ATTACKED BY SMALL POX BEFORE ANY UNVACCINATED PERSONS TOOK THE DISEASE” ;Alexander Wilder,MD, “The fallacy of Vaccination” The metaphysical magazine, vol. III, no. 2, May 1898, p.88

‼️In 1840, as doctors and citizens realized that vaccination was not what it was promised to be, vaccine refusals increased. Governments passed various laws to force people to be vaccinated. Vaccination was made compulsory in England in 1853, with stricter laws passed in 1867. In the United States, Massachusetts created a set of comprehensive vaccination laws in 1855.

“In 1855 Massachusetts took the most advanced stand ever taken by any of the states and enacted a law which required parents or guardians to cause the vaccination of all children before they were two years old, and forbade the admission of all children to the public schools of any child who had not been duly vaccinated. The selectmen if towns, mayors and aldermen of cities were to “enforce the vaccination of all the inhabitants” and to require re-vaccination whenever they judged the public health to require it;”

‼️Lemuel Shattuck emphasized the need for vaccination and pushed for house-to-bourse vaccination to be enforced by the authority of the a city of Boston in an 1856 report.

‼️‼️ Compulsory vaccination laws did nothing to curb the problem of small pox. Boston data begins in 1811 and shows that, starting around 1837, there were periodic small pox epidemics. Following the 1855 mandates, there were small pox epidemics in 1859-1860, 1864-1865, and 1867, culminating with the infamous epidemic in 1872-1873. These repeat small pox epidemics showed that the strict vaccination laws instituted by Massachusetts had no beneficial effect. In fact, more people died from small pox in the 20 years after the strict compulsory laws than in the 20 years prior.

Also I've been using the big gas-mask looking canister filter thing I have for industrial spray painting because it's comfy and easy to clean. I had a kid do a Darth Vader impression at me in the grocery store which was super loving cute. Non-mask people are missing out on top of just being selfish assholes.

Lol, I had a conversation with somebody on the bus where she said "So, what are you into?" and I responded "I like reading books and playing video games!" and she said "Oh... Video games? I just don't see why anybody would want to waste their life like that."

Then turned away from me, ending the conversation.

The thing that gets me about calling people "sheep" is that sheep follow each other because it's safer. The sheep that goes off on its own is the one that gets attacked by a predator. I like sheep, there's evidence that they can be surprisingly intelligent, and it pisses me off to see idiots insulting them.
