dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I hate those N95s, the straps are uncovered and they tangle and rip your hair out, and you'll be swapping masks frequently these days since you're gonna go from COVID+ to COVID- and back and forth. The ones at my current workplace are better except for the fact that they press hard on the bridge of your nose and gradually breaking the skin down. And before anyone says, yes I've been fit tested, it's the most comfortable one they offer at my workplace, the circular ones are even worse.

I've started using the 9210s which employ the fabric elastic straps and they're a lot easier on the hair. They also hold the mask firmer for longer.

I want to try something other than the regular N95s now that it's hot and having a hood is less practical, so will probably try these.

Good luck, hopefully they work for you! stalin-approval

I've found that cutting the behind-the-head straps and retying them as over-the-ear straps helps with comfort a lot, especially with long hair
