Sorry, I wasn't making fun of where you live, but the magats sound hellish.
I'm in red hellhole TN & I know exactly what you mean about magat maskholes. There was only a short period of time when many people wore masks inside of stores.
The stupidity is incomprehensible, unless experienced first-hand, which I definitely do not recommend.
Just even little things. I stopped into a dollar store to pick up a couple of things & had to wait while the cashier filled a couple of balloons with helium.
When it was my turn, I greeted her & said, "Wow! I'm surprised stores are still allowed to fill balloons with helium" which, of course, resulted in the typical bovine stare. Then she said, "What you mean?"
And I told her, "There is a finite supply of helium & what we have left is critical for MRI's & other medical purposes."
This seemed to really confise her. Another bovine stare, followed by, "I don't know. I didn't have none for 2 weeks & I finally got some."
I've actually considered writing a book about some of the absurdities of living here & the absolutely outrageous things people do & say.
Sorry to hear about your cousin being a covid victim.
Not only are magats anti-vax & anti-mask, but they seem to deep fry everything, presumably resulting in the much higher than average BMI. Covid literally hijacks the body's fat producing system & feeds on it. Horrid disease.
If you need anything here at DU, please don't hesitate to ask. We are a very friendly & supportive community.
Sorry I don't have the answer to what happened when you forgot to type a subject. Yup, I've done that more than a few times, but I hit the back button & my whole message is still there, so I only needed to fill in the subject.
I hope you enjoy the community. There are loads of different interest groups inder the forums & groups tab near the top.
