it's insane to me that dnd posters think that *they* are the ones who have rational discussions while *we* are the ones being out of pocket about poo poo. if any real discussion happens they get huffy so fast it's ridiculous and a mod steps in and says 'WHOA WHOA WHOA now, this thread about this topic in the forum titled debate and discussion isn't for debate or discussion about this topic. take it elsewhere' with a stunning consistency. Unless of course you are praising biden or bashing a cspam poster which case you may proceed, governor.

This thread is practical. Its for people who are figuring out what to do to stay safe individually. The other thread is theoretical, it's for using wikipedia's list_of_logical_fallices to avoid taking action at all cost.

I do want to pop in to say that I agree with all your points with the caveat that the current IK of the covid thread has allowed a lot more free and open discussions than the previous covid thread. I’ve had very little issues pointing out the mistakes and mismanagement of the Biden admin, the CDC, and Democratic leadership than I did in the previous thread. Other posters might get mad but the discussion is allowed to continue.

I can’t speak for other threads in DnD.

it's really not a possible scenario that the virus was artificially constructed in a lab

If lab rat churn is an indicator, it would have taken more pangolins than exist to manufacture this virus.

The D&D / C-Spam divide really makes sense when you realize the dividing line is the ability to lie to yourself.

you see things, you see how hosed up they are and you either decide you need a curated safe space where you step back to before things were hosed and prove this is true with beautiful eloquent debate or you go make jokes about how hosed they are.

Weird how the side that needs intricately crafted lies to sleep at night are extremely furious and constantly trying to eliminate the side that is openly talking about the things they are too cowardly to give thought.

DND probably has the problem too of mainly being US posters, hence they actually believe the whole "endless optimism" mindset.

Plus the classic out team won, Joe Biden will believe science and fix things unlike that upstart Trump.

I'm sorry for laughing at your situation, but the local newspaper just up and saying "reject hierarchy, reach out to your brothers and sisters, establish parallel systems of support and mutual aid before the existing ones fail entirely" is just such a "lol uh oh" moment. It's like if the fire department just quietly put an extinguisher on everybody's porch, left their suits to some of the braver people in town, and all got on a bus to somewhere together.

I'm experiencing similar things with the hospitals asking for donations of medical supplies from random citizens, and the government announcing "If you have to contact a doctor for a non-life-threatening situation, please don't"

I have still not seen a liberal democrat explain why the Biden administration ignoring all science from the summer that schools would be a concern in a delta wave was a good thing. Why was throwing children into a pandemic unprotected better than a federal mandate that schooling was remote with money and resources spent on making this happen before the school year started?

Why are we 1-2 months into the new school year with child casualties stacking up while they continue to do nothing?

don’t be too jealous, then state university 15 miles away is requiring vaccinated close contacts to go to class unless they test positive themselves (they are required to go while waiting for results)
