peanut- posted:No possibility of me getting a vaccine any time soon but it happens through GP surgeries? So I need to be sure I'm registered? Yes. Once we get into phase 2 we're into age groups that have less frequent contact with GP (so likely out of date contact info) and are less able to answer the phone in working hours so you certainly aren't hurting your chances of a slightly earlier jab if you sort those things out now.

Do this while you're at work and it's ready to cook while you're still at work. Except it's not because you live in an uninsulated shoe box.

Borrovan posted:Off topic, is anyone aware of a tool that can recover and permanently delete old files? Basically I'm sorting through a stack of old laptops so I can take them to the food bank in case anyone needs them for school or w/e, I don't want anyone snooping my files though & not all of them have a secure option in the factory restore thingy. I can find a bunch of tools that recover deleted files or delete existing files, but none that'll just make sure the already deleted stuff stays dead. If I restored all deleted files to a specific folder and then nuked that would it work, or would restoring just create a new copy & leave the ghost data? You don't need to recover them first. Tools like Eraser will do overwrite-based secure deletion on the free space of a hard drive

The papers get to decide if something is a controversy or not. They could start with him insisting on schools being open in a pandemic and then maybe move on to him being OK with undercover cops doing murders and rape. Or does she mean a real controversy like which genitals get to go in which bathroom

CoolCab, I agree with you that shopping this guy to managers/police/GMC is a terrible idea. What I can't glean from your posting is whether you think NHS workers should be following lockdown/tier/whatever rules we've got at the moment. You've said that not socialising would make them second class citizens, but no one following the rules is socialising at the moment. You said the rules don't work (agreed, our lockdowns have been shambolic) but while you are following stricter rules yourself you seem to be arguing on behalf of someone who has said gently caress it the rules don't work so I'm having a load of mates over. Just to be clear, because you're understandably worked up about this, I agree with the parts of your argument that I understand but I'm not understanding all of it.

The Perfect Element posted:To be fair, he immediately conceded that it was 'ill-judged'. Doing exactly the same schtick that he rolled in here with, but following it up with "just joking" is neither evidence of development nor expansion. A few people trashing a lovely post is not a pile-on, it's how we get people to make fewer lovely posts. I agree that calls for a thread ban are ridiculous given that Breath Ray and Vitamin P are still allowed to post here for some reason. e: and as has been pointed out, "immediately apologised" is not what happened Tarnop fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Feb 22, 2021 |

Just a reminder that this all started with a post speaking positively about scientific work out of Israel, so the antisemites that therattle thinks are in this thread exist entirely in his mind. His whole argument is "it's weird to read positive things about Israel in a thread that I assumed was antisemitic from the moment I started posting here"

Since we're doing D&D chat, just a reminder that 5E was designed by a rape apologist who hired a nazi and a rapist as consultants. When people who had been harassed by the rapist raised concerns, he doxxed them to said rapist. He faced no consequences other than having to shut up on twitter. Don't pay money for D&D, play better RPGs by independent designers who deserve your money.

multijoe posted:I think it's just exhausting being scolded for enjoying a product assocated with an abuser/bad person in a world where literally every industry under the sun promotes and protects abusers. Just let people enjoy their fuckin hobby in peace without dragging it into the constant all-encompassing outrage at the state of the world Some people might not know, and might decide to play something different once they do know. If I actually do scold someone for playing D&D as opposed to simply giving them a reason why they might want to play something else instead, feel free to go off.

Communist Thoughts posted:DnD is pretty bad but all the systems I've played have big flaws and at least half of nerd properties are made by some combo of rapist, nazi or pedo You're right, no game is perfect but there are better ones made by people who, at the very least, are not confirmed abusers.

multijoe posted:The point is everything contains abusers. You may as well barge into any Ubisoft thread in Games or practically any Hollywood film thread in CineD and run off the same spiele, there's just no escaping that at some point most people are going to part with money that is going towards someone who did something horrific. So maybe at some point you don't need to hear the word 'D&D' and immediately inform everyone in the vicinity that it was made by BAD PEOPLE and strongly imply they are also bad people if they engage with it. This is disingenuous as gently caress since I explicitly said "don't pay for it" instead of "don't play it". Not everyone has the time to research who the latest piece of poo poo in the RPG industry is, so I posted what I did because this is a thread of people who care about people doing abusive poo poo and who might choose to play or buy something else if armed with that information. Whatever else you choose to infer as part of your kneejerk defence is on you.

serious gaylord posted:You are aware of what forum you're posting on right? I am, but it's pretty hard to post here without stumbling across the information that the former owner is a piece of poo poo. Or, to use multijoe's examples, movie industry abuses and the poo poo that went on at Ubisoft were stories that made mainstream news sites whereas comparatively few people are likely to have heard about Mike Mearls. My post was motivated by nothing more than the feeling that if I was playing D&D and didn't know, I would want to know.

The small amount of money I spend on RPGs went on indie games instead of 5E, games also made by artists who need money to live. That choice was, in part, informed by my knowledge of what went on during the creation of D&D 5E. I encourage people to make the same decision because I think, given the choice of supporting group of artists A or group of artists B, it's better to choose the group that contains the fewest known abusers. The rest of the D&D team have no greater or lesser right to my money than the people I chose to support instead. I don't think my decision makes me morally pure. I don't think it absolves me of benefitting from a hosed up system. I don't think Matt Mercer is equivalent to a rapist for playing D&D on Crit Role. I have seen people go off at him on social media for supporting D&D for the reasons I mentioned in my original post, so I can see why people might assume that's my stance as well. It isn't. If everyone here who plays D&D carries on doing so then I won't think differently of them, nor do I expect them to care what I think. I am, however, glad that I knew about Mearls, Smith and RPG Pundit before I chose which RPGs to spend money on. If I hadn't known I would have wanted my RPG friends to tell me. My original post was pretty confrontational and dogmatic. I should have explained myself better. Sorry.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I think specifically the 'reminder that' wording wound me up, and honestly I don't think I'm in the wrong. I don't think the tone is really what needs policing there either. lovely wording acknowledged and again, I'm sorry I went in like that. This is a good topic of discussion imo and I'm sorry I started it on a confrontational note. Stormgale has already mentioned some points about why their attempts to be better feel like lip service. I've also read accounts by at least one person from minority groups who was hired to work on diversity and representation in the game, and their experience was a terrible one. I can probably find the relevant post if you want to read it.

Oh dear me posted:At present we have enough left MPs to nominate a decent leadership candidate. If Starmer had a coronary tomorrow we could win, provided people stay in the party long enough to vote. Liverpool nominated a decent left wing mayoral candidate, and look what happened there. Are we sure the same kind of stitch up isn't possible? Currently, party staffers appear to be able to do whatever the gently caress they want to supposedly democratic processes, and this is happening from CLP level and up
