Beyond the beauty of occlusion: medical masks increase facial attractiveness more than other face coverings - PubMed

The sanitary-mask effect (Miyazaki and Kawahara in Jpn Psychol Res 58(3):261-272, 2016) is the finding that medical face masks prompt an image of disease and thus result in lower ratings of facial attractiveness of the wearer. However, during the COVID-19

I know the world is crazy... I know people have just become really really dumb....but when science exposes that utter dumbness.....the utter absurdity of what people are saying and doing these days e.g. "pandemic of the unvaccinated", wearing a mask when alone in the car, wearing a mask when outside!!!....and then this...i.e. when peer reviewed articles glorify the absurdity and insanity....it's like "When is it going to end?"

A study by Hies and Lewis (2022) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/35006366) [try and not click on their link too much...but if you wish to verify what I'm saying go for it] reported: "The results show that faces were considered as most attractive when covered by medical masks and significantly more attractive when occluded with cloth masks than when not occluded." - I mean seriously - this is what science has become? this is what society has become? I mean realistically it's really not adding much to the absurdity suggested by several health authorities of wearing a masks during sexual intercourse....I mean really???? Don't people see that they are trying to destroy human social interaction, the most intimate of human social interaction, in order to destroy humanity????

Are people really this dumb????

Parents say the Parks Department went too far when it welded spinning playground equipment into place.

My favorite comment: “I think it sucks,” said dad David Friedlander, whose 2-year-old was disappointed to find the the spinning disk at Vanderbilt Playground in Prospect Park suddenly stuck in place in late November. “I think it's a sad commentary on how litigious and afraid we've become of having our children get a few boo-boos."

The California Legislature is looking at a voluntary program that would tax motorists for every mile they drive.

Are you serious? California is already the most taxed state in the country. Is there no end to the greed of politicians? Is there no end to the stupidity of Californians that continue to vote for Democrats? Do Democrats stop for s second to consider how their economic policies have decimated jobs and industry in their own state???
