Lol they're upset about the law.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 8 hours ago

LA judge should ask the DOJ to go fuck itself.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 132 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Oh now they care about wearing masks.

[–] innermachine@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

This is the same crowd that was saying to run over protesters for being in the road, now crying about a fed having a car driven in his vicinity.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 54 points 23 hours ago

They only want to wear masks when they can do it to harm society. Not help.

It is so unbelievably comically ironic

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 20 hours ago

These deplorables wonder why we laugh at them.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I thought masks "lowered oxygen levels" or some bulllshit?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 16 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I immediately disregard anything someone says when they start bitching about masks.

Those surgeons wearing them for literal day plus long operations seem to be doing just fine.

Is that geezer on the left wearing a child-sized plate carrier? Or just some Temu special that arrived smaller than expected?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

I think he is just fat and that vest(?) is not really meant for his size.

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I keep seeing the temu comments all over the Lemmy. What do you think a plate carrier looks like?

From what it looks like, he's wearing a Crye Precision jpc. https://www.cryeprecision.com/JPC-2-0

And yes, he's a fucking chonk.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Presumably people expect protection to cover more than half the torso. Temu is notorious for having the lowest quality grey market QA-failed products for sale at bargain pricing, often receiving incorrect sizes.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago

The incorrect sizing mostly stems from the fact it's all stuff made in Asia and they have different sizing systems than either the US or Europe have. You need to get 2 or 3 sizes bigger than normal for it to be normal size over here.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I guess it’s his size as I expect it to look exactly like it looks on their website. The guy on there makes it look normal.

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 17 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

What do we do when see armed masked men

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 22 hours ago

I recommend taking any means necessary.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago

Not today.

Oh wait that's the god of death.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Isn’t it The Department of War Crimes now

Like they're doing to obey that law when they're already violating the constitution. 

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Is this the law that has exceptions for undercover, environmental, and weather?

Meaning the only reason to be against it is to avoid accountability?

[–] Sgarcnl@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Buncha cunts

[–] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 6 points 22 hours ago

How about no.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 6 points 22 hours ago

"The laws took effect Jan. 1. " No problem, they've already been delayed. Time to get with the program, Masks off, Identification ON.
