The story sounds made up. The department head sounded like too much of a cartoon villain, at least from our perspective. From their perspective, they probably regard him as 'badass' or whatever.

However, no one with more than two braincells would worsen a situation like that by saying that sort of thing out loud.

The interesting thing is the reaction of Redditards. And I say that as someone who wore masks before they were legally mandated, just out of an abundance of caution. They want you to obey. Probably in February 2020, they would have screamed at people that they should not wear masks, because the authorities had ordered it so.

Hold on. Just hold on a second. Here we have a story with:

-An antagonist who embodies everything Reddit does not like
-The antagonist going TOTALLY CRAZY AND NUTS for absolutely no reason
-The antagonist delivering several lines that you almost never hear in real life but hear in 100% of Very Real Social Media Stories
-An important person with many titles (so you know they're important and smart) walking into the room and delivering a lengthy smackdown monologue
-The antagonist instantly admitting that the Reddit-approved way of thinking is correct and begging for mercy from her enlightened and rational betters

And you think it's fake? Please, I haven't seen something so genuine since Einstein gave me that hundred dollar bill. I think you need to be more open-minded.

The whole chain of events makes no bloody sense at all. She goes from demanding to be maskless to self-identifying as "brainwashed by social media" with zero intermediary steps as soon as she's challenged by big strong scienceman? Sounds like NPC fanfic to me.

Very fake. Nobody would ever confront a crying young female that way IRL.

Mostly likely these are the same people who (rightly) laughed at the story about the Christian veteran owning the atheist college professor on the existence of God. Amazing how their skepticism disappears when the story is something they agree with.

So much for "we need more women in STEM" if they have the wrong politics.

a subreddit dedicated to peoples' lives being ruined, mostly for disagreeing with the hivemind

I genuinely do not understand how people like this have the delusion that they're the good guys. They're evil in ways that would be considered far-fetched in a comic book villain.

Like seriously, imagine Lex Luthor scrolling through his phone going "ha ha, I am happy that this low wage worker's life is over because they disagreed with me politically". Literally announcing it like that. You'd think it was a meme edit. But no, this is how Redditors actually behave in real life.

Fucking hell.

"Liberals"

Socialists, too. Orwell wrote in The Road to Weigan Pier how many of his socialist friends were upperclass people who did not give a fuck about the working class so much as they hated people richer than them.

The masks don't do shit. Look at a visual size comparison of the virus. Now compare that to the size of the fibers in a cloth mask. How is a mask going to stop that?

Sorry I’m talking about the cloth masks that people in general are wearing. They literally say on the box that they don’t protect against viruses.

Oh MAN, the irony of the running down nurses are getting in that thread on a professional level. So 'anti-vax' people were pissed at nurses over the tik-tok grandstanding but they threw their so-called frontline heroes under the bus the moment they had the slightest hint of dissent.

SCI'ENCE, noun [Latin scientia, from scio, to know.]

Comprehension is build by adaptation to perceived inspiration; not by believing others or using the title "scientist". Every one can do science; every ones comprehension is different, and the perception of those differences is what inspires.

Here's a path towards inspiration...what are the differences between male/female (natural opposites) comprehension?

ADAPTATION, noun (From Latin adaptāre "to fit, adjust")

Adaptation implies "adapting as (form); adapting to (flow)" aka balance in motion aka momentum. Perception represents adaptation of consciousness to information aka energy towards sense.

BALANCE, noun (From Latin bi- "two" and lanx “metal dish")

The "two" of balance represents out of ONE. Flow defines beginning and end. There's no two in flow. Opposites are in coexistence within ONE; they're ALL ONE (alone). Form is within flow; flow/form is within energy.

NUM'BER, noun (to speak, name or tell). They suggest us to count the plural (all the ONEs) of the singular (within ALL), so that we ignore that ALL is ONE in energy.

PLURAL, adjective (From Late Latin plūrālis "concerning many")

This is where comprehension is needed...understanding being ONE (form) within ALL (flow) represents gaining self discernment; which then allows further comprehension of ALL (flow/form) being ONE in energy.

So we have individual ONE within ALL; the collective of individual ONEs within ALL, and the ONE (energy) that is ALL (flow/form). The ONEness of ALL aka a singular containing the self segregated plural aka the potential of ONE (form) within the potentiality of ALL (flow).

This is not a real story. Amusing as it is, how do people who apparently worship science not realize that a virus is far too small to be inhibited by a cloth mask? I don't know anyone like this, so I can't ask this question, but what do they say to that?

They think the virus is trapped inside saliva droplets and that as long as the mask blocks all of the droplets the virus won't spread.

you’re supposed to be on the side of science

Do these nitwits understand that science is a method and not a religion?

This is why I never bought into the mask thing. I remember 15 years ago wondering why you always saw Asians wearing masks. It was because or SARS and trying to keep contaminates out. All the stuff I found back then also had multiple studies saying this was pure superstition.
