We’re all of a sudden surprised that “conservatives” have no place in a civilized, functioning society? ---

They seem to have gotten worse lately. These days “conservatives” seem to think that a functioning society, is actually SOCIALIST!!!1 and must be avoided at all costs. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > This fucking maskhole is the fucking sheriff: Jesus Fucking Christ, what a sack of turds! No, wait, he gives sacks of turds a bad name. At least a sack of turds is contained, not spread around everywhere. “Please keep in mind this entire pandemic is fluid and constantly changing the way things are done." He’s forbidding his deputies from wearing masks. What a fuck stick. And he’s requiring the removal of masks at the sheriff’s office, on the grounds that protests against police brutality thereby make it a question of masked individuals entering the offices. At least that has some fig leaf of justification. And then the Mayor and Police Chief of Ocala, Florida, overriding the City Council mask mandate. Wow. Just wow. ---

My 13 year-old son just brought this to my attention. The [Urban dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rat-Licker) has posted the following definition: “ **Rat-Licker** : A person who refuses to wear a mask during an outbreak of an airborne virus such as Covid-19.

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > “This sign was a misrepresentation of our policy because we have no facial covering (mask) policy,” Helbach wrote. “We believe in freedom of expression and welcome patrons with or without a facial covering (mask).” I am so tempted to walk in there completely naked except for a mask. They’d have to be cool with it, because they believe in freedom of expression, right? ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > I saw somebody today say, “If you wear a face mask on your face, do you wear foot shoes on your feet?” Ask them if they know what an “eye mask” is. Ask them how to convey the difference between an eye mask and a mask that instead covers the nose and mouth, using a simple and intuitive term. ---
