I had to double-check that I wasn't in the Doomsday Econ thread. IK duty in that thread shattered Hoot's psyche for some reason, weird to see his insanity in different context.

She pulled her mask down to let out a wet cough, but then strangely pulled it back up so the top flap was inside her mouth, and talked to me with muffled words the whole rest of the time due to the flap stuffed into her uncovered mouth.

SARS-Cordyceps posted:Could you consider putting in some editorial thoughts with these tables posts just to make sure I'm parsing the numbers correctly? I'm not confident about it. What kind of editorializing are you looking for? The numbers can inform whatever risk thresholds you've setup for yourself. If hospitalizations have been down, week over week, for five weeks - I know that there's (likely) less COVID around and I can more confidently take risks while outside. Sure, its a metric that lags behind infections, but it's probably one of the more reliable metrics we still have around. Trixie Hardcore posted:
I like the idea of Shiroc being an IK. Hootington is someone I always see agitating others, instead of contributing to any discussion. With that said, maybe see if an extra IK is useful in corralling their slap-fights; if that doesn't work out, try the more severe tactic.

I nominate for IK anyone who has the presence of mind and familiarity here to be on the "no Hoot" side, honestly. It's really a dead simple litmus test of if you're willing to step up and use authority when it's actually needed. Other posters have what seems like an infinite patience for cruelty and offering second chances even when that's the entire history. If it was me making a website there'd be no tolerance at all for cruel personality types.

I've had hoot on ignore for so long that they largely don't exist to me and I don't know why anyone ever engages with them. I can take them off so I can see the really stupid poo poo that should get smacked as a rule if it comes to it. Though, I won't fight if they get threadbanned, it just absolutely will result in a ton of whining and people slamming in here. Shiroc has issued a correction as of 22:53 on May 24, 2023 |

DarkLich posted:What kind of editorializing are you looking for? I'm saying that due to the numbers all being derivatives compared to other derivatives (I think?) that I'm literally having trouble interpretting them and always do, and just hearing you add in that you think it looks down today clarifies what I'm looking at in a second way. Thanks for bringing in data.

What if instead of improving conditions [in the thread], we simply redefined what ”good” looks like and raised concern about the mental health of anyone who expressed dissatisfaction with this state of affairs?

News results for “Fauci watercolor”. Pence is now an upstanding citizen who is vaxxed & relaxed, and good for her. quote:“I was dumbstruck that Pence did it,” Politico cartoonist Matt Wuerker says, “and equally dumbstruck that the doctors at the Mayo Clinic allowed him to do it. If this had been an episode of ‘ER,’ Dr. George Clooney would have dramatically barred the door and explained that the doctors in the hospital had sworn an oath and it wasn’t to Trump.” Who was it to, motherucker? Who was it to? Platystemon has issued a correction as of 23:09 on May 24, 2023 |

Gonna add to the chorus that Hootington adds nothing to conversations except agitation and cruelty. Putting him on ignore improved my CSPAM lurking experience by a lot. The threadban is already warranted for the thread's sake and maybe posting exile might get him to reflect a little too as a bonus.

so, I'm being pathologized and ostracized from everyone in my life right now because of my respirator game. one of the counsellors I'm being forced to see is telling me that I have confirmation biased myself into a corner. his sole counter-argument was 'if your position is true, why are we not seeing increases in long term care patients in Canada?' I've looked for stats on this and haven't found much. any goon input?

Canada is the country that has massively expanded euthanasia to get rid of disabled and poor people 2. Do you live in Canada? If not, well there you go 3. We don't test for COVID anymore and have continually redefined how COVID positive tests are recorded and tabulated so as to hide cases 4. Ask your counsellor why he is obsessing about the respirator. Recommend that he consider taking antianxiety medication, exercise, do regular CBT, and see a counsellor. 5. Say you've conducted your own, personal risk assessment in line with CDC and WHO recommendations and are taking their advice of "you do you" bedpan has issued a correction as of 00:01 on May 25, 2023 |
