| LordoftheMorons 03/08/20 6:09:13 PM #81 | Corrik7 posted... I mean, I get that. But once it broke containment, what can you do? I mean, it spreads asymptomatic. It is likely all over the world now. And there is no way you could possibly ever follow all the dots now.With social distancing you can slow it down by a decent amount. Theres also the possibility that Trumps hopeful prediction is right and that it does spread less in the summer (definitely not guaranteed, but not implausible). The earlier you start doing this the more effective it will be, though. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

How are you gonna START to PREVENT it.The point of this thread is that even if you dont stop it, slowing it down can result in considerably fewer deaths by preventing hospitals from being overwhelmed. Theres a significant chance if someone gets the virus that they can be saved with medical intervention but will die without it (which is why Wuhan, for example, had a much higher death rate than South Korea). --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

Dude I dont know how many times I need to say this, but in 2016 he did not stutter every 2 minutes like he does now. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/stuttering/symptoms-causes/syc-20353572 Stuttering may be worse when the person is excited, tired or under stress, or when feeling self-conscious, hurried or pressured. Situations such as speaking in front of a group or talking on the phone can be particularly difficult for people who stutter. He wasn't campaigning for president four years ago. And he's not doing it "every two minutes" now. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

I genuinely think his brain doesnt seem like its doing great.A common strategy stutterers use is to substitute a different word for one theyre having a hard time saying (e.g. this is almost certainly what happened when he said my boss instead of Obama that one time people said he forgot Obamas name). I think this is likely also whats happening when he aborts a talking point and says anyway... or something. The South Africa story was an extreme exaggeration (to the point where just calling it a lie is probably fair). He was detained after getting off the airplane for a while on a state visit to South Africa after getting separated from the Congressional Black Caucus members he was with because they were supposed to go through different doors due to Apartheid; they wouldnt let him through the same door as the CBC members (which fits the dictionary definition of arrested but which is obviously not what someone would interpret that statement to mean). --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| Topic | Are you personally concerned you may get the coronavirus? |
| LordoftheMorons 03/07/20 7:54:02 PM #36 | LordoftheMorons posted... I'm concerned that I'll get it. I'm not concerned that I'll die from it.To follow up on this, if your attitude is "everybody's gonna get it anyway so why should I care", consider that even slowing down the spread is extremely important for preventing hospitals from getting overwhelmed. The numbers I've seen are that there are only like a million hospital beds in the country, and 2/3 of them are typically in use. If something like 10% of people require hospitalization, you start having major problems even with only a few million cases, let alone tens or hundreds of millions (and then significant fractions of healthcare workers could get sick and be out for weeks at a time). So basically, wash your fucking hands, avoid touching your face and crowded events, and self quarantine if you're sick. Everyone doing that will considerably slow the spread even if it doesn't stop it. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 03/07/20 5:19:40 PM #299 | Okay, catching up KH2 >>> KH1 Roxas >>> Sora (though 3 has removed a > or two by improving the latter a lot) I loved Skies of Arcadia but for some reason never finished it. Ive tried replaying it a few times, but was derailed by battles being so slow. This one definitely needs a remake! P4 was great, though I still like 5 the best (playing them backwards may have contributed). I think I actually did read all of the books despite playing P4notG with no trophies...! I remember playing SMB3 at the house of the person I would go to after school since my mom was working and I was obsessed with it (one kid got really mad at me and one of the familys daughters because hes gotten to world 8 and we wasted all of his lives trying to beat it after he went home...). When I finally actually beat it for GBA I ended up preferring SMW, though. Still a great game! Not beating FF7 is probably my greatest gaming-related shame. Ive started it probably 5 or 6 times but never gotten to the end of disk 1 (I think the furthest I got was to Eagle Peak or whatever? The thing with the weird mini game). I think I stopped that time because my disks were scratched. Gotta decide whether Im gonna actually force myself to get through the original before playing FFVIIR (which I have preordered). Ive discussed T&T at length with you. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |
