Person on my ATL to SFO last week was wearing a full construction respirator with a surgical mask across the front. (Like in photo, I had to photoshop it together because I couldn't get a pic on the plane)

Like... why?

It’s because the respirator underneath has an exhalation valve. It is super easy to breathe in respirator because the air just comes straight out. But some places don’t allow masks with exhalation valves (and / or the mask wearer was trying to at least protect other people a bit more than with just the exhalation valve). Agree the surgical mask does barely anything and the mask wearer knows that too (that’s why they put on the respirator underneath).

Full respirator with a mask? LMAO
They probably wear two condoms and an UGG boot on top for some extra protection too!

It prolly had a vent and therefore the exhaled breath wasn't filtered. The surgical mask filtered it?

Yeah folks here misunderstand this persons intentions - they were not wearing the surgical mask because they think it gives them extra protection

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us. All advice welcome!

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
