These people never mentally progressed beyond the mindset of a small child. You are correct, you cannot reason with these people any more than you can reason with a 4 year old in the middle of a temper tantrum. They are solipsistic brats who never got the ass-beating they deserved as spoiled children.

That’s when it’s time to tender your resignation effective immediately. Otherwise you prove that they can compel you to do any absurd thing at any time for any reason or no reason.
We’re in the state we’re in because no one stands on principle (mostly because they have none), nobody makes a decision based on conscience. It’s all about the money to keep niceties and conveniences and shiny baubles to impress the neighbors, or family, or people at cocktail parties.

There was an article last week (don’t recall which author) which mentioned almost in passing that a cardiologist who knew the “vaccines” would cause massive harm to the children to whom it would be administered, refused to say so on the record because he feared repercussions that would affect his job (i.e., his money). So even though he’s an expert whose opinion might actually matter, he’s willing to keep mum about the reckless endangerment of the lives of children around the world because … Mercedes, Mortgage on the McMansion in the gated community, have to be able to afford to send his own (unjabbed?) kids to Harvard, etc.

Hey, “Born Free Skye”, quit that job. Or change that pseudonym to “Born to do what I’m told Skye”.

Better than resign just refuse to mask for a Zoom meeting. When called out keep explaining the idiocy of it all until they relent or cancel you. Then resign. Maybe some of the sane attendees will start to get the message.

I would so screw with this. Zoom meeting would be my package in a blue mask. They did not say where to wear it.

Good luck with that strategy. Today’s younger crowd, who puts their preferred pronouns in their email signature, would run straight to HR, claiming sexual harassment, sexual assault or claim ‘it’s like they were trying to rape me’ (‘they’ because they don’t assume people with a package identify as he)…and you’d likely be promptly fired and escorted out of the office.

I do agree about finding ways to screw with this policy though.

I was thinking masks of The Gimp, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, Leatherface, Jason, Michael Myers, Freddie, the Scream ghost and any other a*hole masks I could think of. If challenged, I would say I was only complying with the company’s request.

Personally however, there is electrical tape over my laptop camera, an old cut-off microphone jack in the mic port and I call in over a landline to join Zoom meetings.

Oh, I agree. But I don’t work in the office, or for a boss or HR anymore. I am the boss, of me, and just me.

Back when I did work in a cubicle, for the first three or four months I was ‘required’ to attend weekly waste of time meetings that lasted hours and achieved nothing. Told my boss that it was a waste of time to have me there. He made me go three more times. Each time I made a point of saying things that made people blush and very uncomfortable, but nothing that would be a rational firing event. Never was invited to another meeting for the next six years I was there. They had a serious problem with disciplining me. I would just say “fire me”. When they did not the first time, I had won. I was too critical to the company output.

Another way I might go on this is the RHCP ‘sock on cock’ and nothing else but a mask. Maybe one of the ones you listed. Or just a mannequin with a full face mask while I actually got some work done elsewhere.

.243 as well. A very flat shooting round. Relatively quiet, and

When the SHTF, you’ll want an autoloading rifle first. The agents of the state survivors will never even hear the scoped hunting rounds that drop them.

The two shopping carts of ammo me and my buddy rolled out of Cabela’s got some interesting looks. 7 – 7.62×39 1200s, 200 boxes of various 12ga., 2 – 9mm 1500s, 5000 .22, 500 – .303, 4 great big tubs of Tannerite. NO 30-06 and no powder as they had NONE. I was worried about breaking the cart halfway out the door.

We had decided that ammo was better than money in the bank. The stacks I already had are worth 2-4x what I paid for them less than a decade ago.

Next time I’m in Calgary will be doing it again plus primers, cases and powder. Still sourcing 30-06 and powders.

I also urge everyone to get a SKS (better yet three, they are cheap) and craploads of surplus ammo. Good, dependable all use weapon and the ammo is still comparatively cheap. You will need spares for freinds when it all goes completely sideways.

True-dope outlawed the best 7.62×39 up here . No more Mini-30. Made illegal by decree.

Still would rather have three SKS than the one Ruger though. Stripper clip loading is faster and the SKS is less fragile/more reliable (if not by much) in my experience.

I have both the Norinco SKS with spike bayonet and a Tula with the blade. Removed the blade one but the spike is a good monopod for stability. Whack the top of the barrel and the spike will stick into soft logs.

We had bowling league today. Most of the other “seniors” are 70 – 80, even a couple WWII veterans in their 90s! Nick and I are the Young’uns in the league at 60 and 65.

I noticed only one person wearing a mask the whole afternoon. One guy put his mask on to leave the bowling alley (Jackson). After being inside with 40 to 50 old people and the staff at the bowling alley for three hours, chatting and talking, he put his mask on to walk to his car and drive away.

I went to Aldi’s to do some intense shopping and got seriously irritated by people wearing masks and glaring at me. I glared back and won.

Last time I was in the big town, probably 50%+ had masks while walking alone on near empty streets. The ‘how fucking stupid are you?’ factor was unreal. Of the 50%, most had the mask under their chin, not covering the mouth AT ALL. They are even useless at being hypochondriacs.

I would reply that I have a fear of masks and masked people because of some (made up) childhood trauma – let them prove it false. It might lead to some fun attempts to appease both ends of the spectrum.

Of course, I told my previous employer to fuck off and quit when they told me I had no choice but to submit my clot-shot status so I’d tell these asshats to go fuck themselves if they really made me mask up for a video meeting.

https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/stay-safe/slow-spread/information-about-face-masks

‘…At 1pm Thursday 6 January 2022 a Territory-wide lockout came into effect. The lockout will remain in place until midday Monday 10 January 2022.

Fully vaccinated people are able to live normally within the lockout area. Mandatory mask use remains in place.

Unvaccinated people 16 years and over, including those people who have received only their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, must stay at home during a lockout period and are only permitted to leave for the following three reasons:…’

Blah blah blah.

The ‘Mandatory’ mask rule came into effect on New Year’s Eve.

Because I refuse to comply, I have been unable to go anywhere since then. Now I can’t even if I wanted to. Common sense prevents me risking a $5000 fine or a trip to a camp – the biggest one in the country is just down the road.
