In other news, it seems that piss drinking is the new miracle cure in some circles. So..bottoms up anti vaxxers?

Dear All, I too wish you Happy Holidays! May 2022 be a better year then 2021.

Organ failure, Covid toes, and I know people who know people that died of Covid. I've heard all the stories, but I have never seen it. I've been waiting two years for the horse drawn carts, rolling down the street, with a cloaked dude ringing a bell, yelling "Bring out your dead!" But it's never happened. All I have seen is people making money from Covid, people losing money from Covid, and another reason to keep people fighting over Covid. It's time to call it over. So basically you're saying just because you yourself don't personally know anyone who died of COVID, it's a hoax. Then perhaps you also shouldn't believe the Earth is round (geoid). After all, have you been to space to verify this, or done the geodesic calculations yourself? Or are you just willing to take the propaganda from elementary school textbooks at face value?

He did pass the infrastructure bill, did he not?

What did I miss since last coming here? Binary logic at full dispaly as always, so nothing then.

You seem to have dropped this in another thread: Part of the reason why I barely come to these forums anymore, there simply isn't a point anymore

Happy to help if you want back in.

What is it called when the police are not allowed to take care of it? Deriliction of duty? Anarchy? Take your pick imo. I am merely saying that at one point vigilantism also becomes unlawfull. As I see it,the problem with vigilantism and in fact having guns widely available in any populace is bad because a large portion of said populace is made up of absolute fucking morons. Therefore, you will have many absolute fucking morons with guns running around. Please note that I'm not singling out the US here, I feel exactly the same about my own fellow countrymen.

An that's the problem with modern society.

Too bad it won't fucking stay that way

All right, thanks. I'll put it on the waiting list

I never got into GoT, but knowing how the ending sucks I'm not going to either.

I love Bill Maher, excellent take.

Heh, interesting! Did you guys use stock sound effects mostly (if yes, from where?) or did you record yourselves. Btw, although it isn't Warcraft 2, you might appreciate this video on where the original Doom sounds come from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bgFpss0YFE Intdeed, lol, although in the 90s I'm retty sure all game studios were like that. ID and Westwood certainly were...

Ha, nice. Sounds like you were there for the golden age. Did you work on SFX or the music?

Wait, you worked at Blizzard? What were you working on?

Indeed they are. I stopped giving a crap about them when they slapped their World of Warcraft aesthetic on every game they made since. I will say that the Diablo 2 remaster looks amazing - precisely because it completely lacks said aesthetic.

I will be honest, for me Witcher = Games, I'm consciously staying away from the books and the TV series.

Wow, are you seriously suggesting that genocide could have been a viable option?

Truth be told, I don't think ANYONE had thought that after an $83 bil investment, the Afghan army would collapse in less then a month.

Well you said you have a "basic" understanding of Biology... and I believe that I am the one that has a basic understanding of Biology. I asked a basic question, and you came up with the standard non-basic answer. You suffer from a nasty affliction called the "Everybody else is wrong syndrome". It's a very common Progressive derangement. LOL!... Sam Harris again. I'm shocked that I've been able to survive without Sam in my life. You needn't listen to the podcast, as you are clearly not "vaccine hesitant". You made up your mind long ago, therefore I recommend that you do not waste your time with fact-based discussion.

And yet again, you demonstrate your complete unwillingness to absorb presented facts that go contrary to your beliefs. I’m done arguing with you as there is clearly no point. ————- To the “vaccine hesitant” I would like to present a last-ditch effort to alleviate your concerns and maybe convince you to do the sane thing here. If you really are honest where you’re coming from, listen to this and think it over once again: https://samharris.org/podcasts/256-contagion-bad-ideas/

Wonderful! So many Democrats are confused about that... here's an easy one... How many genders do we have? Please, make a complete list because I don't want to hurt any feelings. Genders are psyhosocial constructs and they are of no concern to biologists. In terms of sexes there are mostly two (male and female) and a large variety of intersex conditions, although this affects <0.1% of the population.

No, it means that I have a basic understanding of Biology.

I like to look at it from this point of view: "You are free to do as you wish, as long as you don't infringe on the liberty of others". Well, from where I stand, that is exactly what unvaccinated people are doing, infringing on not just my liberties and financial security but my safety as well. This is because if a new wave hits, it will largely happen because a significant portion of the population is unvaccinated. To put it plainly, vaccinated people will also be impacted as: - They will also need to suffer through renewed lockdowns, the mask wearing and all other restrictions or at least part of them - The economy will continue to suffer, endangering jobs and livelihoods - The virus will continue to circulate and mutate reducing the effectiveness of the existing vaccines I'm sorry to say that you don't exist in a vacuum, you exist in a social context. And while yeah, you will not be forced to take the vaccine if you don't want to, don't expect others to be happy about it for the aforementioned reasons.
