| Balrog0 06/04/21 12:21:51 AM #9 | Notti posted... Never ever believed that they are different things. It's not the sincerity of the beliefs of the message board posters that I'm concerned with here. For that matter I don't think this guy is being sincere. The fact that the modern conservative movement thinks it's a winning strategy to court mainly people like the posters on life as a gamer is what I continue to be surprised by. Though I really shouldn't be at this point --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

I keep taking long breaks though and actively avoid spending too much time online these days. Maybe a good portion of more outgoing people vanished into various discords and abandoned the boards mostly. It's hard to tell. There's something to the discord idea. Not just with respect to the faqs; lots more stuff happens on discord these days. I only have ever used discord to do voice chat tho --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

Honestly I've really been considering closing my account or at least not coming here any more. Place has really gone downhill. But I'm feeling that way generally about the interwebs lately, which makes me think it's more a "me" problem. Still, it's a big change. There was a time in my life when I was one of the most active posters on lue, been when fubonis tracked that kind of thing. I thought I'd never leave or want to leave this site. Even when lue died down a ton and I turned here, still felt mostly the same. But it doesn't any more --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Topic | The Absurdity of Peer Review |
| Balrog0 06/03/21 7:01:10 PM #13 | COVxy posted... Weve needed rapid research into models of transmission, into immunity and reinfection, into public health messaging and effective interventions, into drugs to treat symptoms, machines to support the severely ill, and the development of radically new types of vaccine. So pre-prints, those manuscripts put on the internet for all to read before peer review, became the weapon of choice. Long common in physics, pre-prints in biology and especially medicine exploded in number during the pandemic. Interesting. This seems to be the expected practice in economics. I wonder if that contributes to it's study being relatively popular song laypeople --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Topic | "Socialists* don't care about the poor, they just hate the rich." |
| Balrog0 06/03/21 12:47:34 PM #70 | It's kind of an interesting discussion. I don't interpret socialism, broadly speaking, as being about poverty or the poor. For that to be true, you need to buy their argument about how wealth requires poverty (briefly and glibly stated) which I don't. Otherwise the working class and the poor are distinct -- a plurality, if not most, of poor people are too young or too old to be workers, though we hide this behind household composition. You can see this confusion (in my view) on the ground, when DSA chapters go to the mat for, like, millionaire homeowners in Berkeley being able to keep their riches. Anyway like I said different people think different things --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 06/03/21 10:13:05 AM #15 | I'm not quite sure that it works that way, exactly, but whether or not more fat cells = easier to get fat again, it's definitely true that our bodies hate putting on muscle and love putting on fat --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 06/02/21 8:46:13 AM #36 | We're supposed to be working from home 2-3 days a week and the rest in the office once we go back. I'm okay with that. Honestly the bigger thing that sucks about the return to normalcy isn't so much the day to day office grind (though that isn't great) but that all of these virtual events are going to start being in person now so I'll need to drive around the state again --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |
