    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it was started by liberals, describing a white woman expressing her “privilege” by asking to speak to a manager or calling the cops on a black guy for no good reason.

    But it seems to fit for most liberals — they just aren’t aware that they are Karens.

    True. First time I heard it the Mayor of Chicago used it to address Kayleigh McEnany on Social Media. Purely a Racial slur IMO.
    And a shame too because I really liked Mayor Lightfoot on Star Wars (Maz Kanata).

    Karens are NEVER self-aware. They are the scourge of the modern civilized world.

    If masks are required, use the disposable ones.
    I've had to change the way I suck in air too. No more "O" mouth cause you'll just suck in paper. I just keep my mouth open through the set.

    That being said, it's still very far from optimal, and my savings for a home gym have accelerated substantially.

    Training hard in a mask is essentially self-inflicted water boarding. Fine for masochistic lifters and sadistic governments. Unless you are a supporter of the evil of sadism its either time to shut up shop, or to take a stand.

    Unfortunately, that's what this (and a small amount of other) member is all bothered about. If it were my call, I'd kick him out.

    I use one of those thin cloth scarf-looking things like this elitefts Multi-Use Head Sleeve Crescent and it's decently helpful. The keeping the mouth open thing is helpful. Thanks for your insight

    I’d look into a medical exemption. Perhaps sports asthma is a reasonable excuse.

    Theres no fucking way I’m covering my mouth for a heavy set of squats, pulls, or presses. Some members come in the gym and complain daily, but nobody has said anything to my (uncovered) face as of yet.

    They don't think it's a stupid rule. They think it's life or death.

    That's what doesn't make sense, though. If it's too dangerous to be out without a mask, it's probably too dangerous to be out at all yet they are willing to do that.

    It's a racial slur that would get you banned from social media if used against any race other than whites.

    We are taking the word from them, because it accurately describes the behaviour of a subset of the aggressive, conformist, Leftist population.
