Apparently people would prefer 10 years of lockdowns/deaths before a vaccine....What makes you think this will last 10 years?
Go figure.
Ivermectin doesn’t cure all the symptoms of Covid.I had to get the vaccine. The clock is ticking. I can feel the devil trying to grab my soul.
There's still time. Quick! Get some Ivermectin and a salt lick to alleviate the deadly symptoms of the vaccine!
The lawyer says that federal law states that it should have become immediately available when it was licensed.And stack has provided the legal definition of what that means.
Are you a lawyer? Please answer with only a yes or no.
The materials are available for disclosure, it’s just not being expedited. Whats so hard to understand here?I’m honestly wondering if this whole exchange is rooted in Tom not understanding what “expedite” means.
Thorks got a point.Not really. He’s got a bad case of confirmation bias and he’s operating in the sceptical context. Something which he and other FE people do very selectively. They don’t apply that much scrutiny to anything else.
What possible need do people have that need them to go 100km vertically into the air?No one “needs” to climb Everest, or go to Antarctica. But humans have something in them, a spirit of adventure which drives us to do these things. To boldly go, to coin a phrase.
And what do they see apart from the sky going from blue to black?They see the globe earth as it really is. They get the experience of weightlessness. They get a perspective on the earth which still very few people get. I think a lot of people would want that experience if they could.
And if people think space tourism is going to convince flat earthers that the earth is roundI don’t think that. Some people’s cognitive dissonance is off the charts and they’re never going to accept the truth of the shape of the earth. Space tourism is another reason their position is untenable but as we see in this thread some people will dismiss any evidence which contradicts their worldview.
Going forward, humanity should concentrate on ways to travel that reduce our dependence on finite resources. Not waste them all and pollute our planet just to satisfy the wet dreams of a fewI largely agree, but I believe that as these things go Bezos’ rocket is relatively “green”.
Yet you have been shown numerous times that they are counting people who died "with" Covid and not of Covid, unlike previous diseases.And every time you have “shown” that it has been patiently explained to you that this is exactly how it works with other diseases.
Netherlands 6 – 0 GibraltarYou get that you played a "country" so small that if Thork lived there he'd probably get a game, right?
Goed zo, jongens.
and if this was someone else's idea, AATW would be starting thread after thread about how much he hates new rulesWow. So you really think that if someone else suggested something which I clearly agree with - given that it was my suggestion - then I’d disagree with it?
You can still see the posts of someone you ignored - you just have to click on them to reveal them.This answers the question I asked in my other thread - I saw this post after I wrote mine.
you need to keep in mind that imposing restrictions on users is something we don't do lightly. As one of our main champions of the "mods shouldn't do anything ever" cause, I'm sure you can see why.
The "why" is very important here. When two members were complaining about abusive PMs, it seemed likely that this would grow into a widespread issue. If it does, then it becomes pretty obvious that something should be done. However, if you actively choose for your problems to continue (for example, by not choosing to ignore the one person that's annoying you), who are we to make you happy against your own will?My problem hasn’t been one for a while. I started this thread 2 months ago and hadn’t had any abuse from said member since then so I thought the issue had been dealt with. The recent abusive DM suggests not.
Sorry - that's never going to happen. Rule change or not, it would always be down to you to do something.Ok, fine. I would have to do something. I’d have to report the problem. Because you can’t see DMs. And I’m not asking you to build a whole mechanism where people can report DMs as they would a post, I just think your suggestion to extending that rule to DMs is the right thing to do.
You are asking for a more complicated process to be implemented, for your sole benefitI am not. I think that rule 2 is a reasonable one and should extend to DMs. Why should someone be able to harass another poster by DM? How is that a good thing for the board? Even if we agree it’s rare, is there any up side to people being able to do that?
It is difficult to believe that you're doing it for anything else than drama or, as Thork suggested, revenge.We’ve had the conversation about you thinking the worst of me, I thought we were past that. It’s not about “drama” because I’m not a teenager. And it’s not about revenge because I’m not asking for this poster to be banned or warned. I’m not asking for any action to be taken against them but I am asking for your help to stop them harassing me.
there's not enough evidence of this being a big enough issue to restrict everyone's use of the forum for the future.Is it restrictive though? Is there any up side to allowing posters to be harassed by DM? Note the difference between abused and harassed. The thread about Tom was there for ages before it was locked. It only became against the rules when he felt he was being harassed. This is the same. I’ve had several abusive messages from this post. I now feel he has crossed the line between abuse and harassment.
I believed you until the post I just quoted. You now made it clear that this is just another complaint about that one time you weren't allowed to break the rules.
We currently have no rules governing PMs.
My proposal would be to extend rule 2 - which already applies in CN, AR, etc. - to also encompass PMs. That way, if Thork wants to message me about his fetishes, he can, because it doesn't bother me, but the moment someone makes it clear they're feeling harassed, the sender should back off. Of course, this wouldn't apply retroactively, so anyone currently engaging in such cheerful exchanges would have time to adjust.
your case was much stronger before you revealed your true intentions just now).
And I explained why. And I just have again.I already told you how to do that. You weren't interested.He doesn't want to. He wants someone to use moderator powers on the perpetrator. Its not a stop to the messages he wants. It is revenge.No, it's a stop to the messages I want.
He doesn't want to. He wants someone to use moderator powers on the perpetrator. Its not a stop to the messages he wants. It is revenge.No, it's a stop to the messages I want. And as I said above I don't think I should have to do anything to make that happen.
Jesus, the fact you think setting up fake scenery is somehow encouraging people to get this shot
Why wouldn't he get the booster in the White House?You think the people who do boosters go door to door?
Remember the green screen presser outside? They are now just building sets.Literally no idea what point you think you're making here.
