There was a moment in my life where I was optimistic about masks. I pictured a cyberpunk future we didn't get sick as much and had a cool new fashion accessory we could have fun with. It is wild how capitlaism couldn't even resist the power of covid

Seriously? I found masks uncomfortable and annoying, I would hate the idea of it being the new norm for the rest of our lives.

I live in a climate which gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I was often getting hot under the mask or fogging up my glasses so bad I couldn't see where I was going.

I would honestly rather just get the latest vaccine and risk getting a little sick by not wearing a mask than going through that whole mask thing again
