Typo. Figures are both for new cases. Fixed. Cheers for pointing that out. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

Me, more like. :monkey: Bedtime for Goebbels anyhow. Gute Nacht.

Most of us were mods at old PF.

We don't have "fun" in Ireland. We get drunk in bogs and forget where we live. That's my plan for tomorrow.

Speaking of which, banned @"Oku" for low quality. This one only took three posts, which could be a record. (But it was not a difficult decision consid...

If you want idiocy, it's not in short supply on the internet. Happy hunting!

Reporting a post only means bringing something to our attention. We are responsible for all mod decisions and no-one else.

Yes, unless there are extenuating circumstances (someone is complaining about being extremely depressed or suicidal etc and we're worried our actions ...

And yet you'd be the first to complain about low quality if we let him post his OPs. So... what? We should run around deleting low-quality posters' st...

You could not have asked for better than 125,000 dead from COVID, a huge economic recession, and the largest hike in the national debt of any presiden...

Correction. It's already significantly worse than Italy ever was. Italy peaked at 6,000 deaths new cases per day. Florida had 9,000 new cases yesterda...

Feels like Irish buses. Nothing for ages then three come at the same time.

Florida is the new Italy (current prediction if things don't change of 30,000 new cases / day by October). If it wasn't already going for Biden it is ...

I said that. Yes, it's good evidence but not a guarantee. Anyway, we rarely ban for low quality and unless you're in the bottom 5% of active posters, ...

We are upholding the guidelines. If you are a consistently low quality poster, we consider that you are "obviously unsuited to the forum" and a summar...

@"DingoJones" We usually just ban if the low quality is consistent enough for us to think the poster just isn't suited to the place. If it's a short b...

Yeah, I heard of the Calvin Hobbes guy. He's good.

Probably the names of all those video games he plays.

Ok, I'm going to leave it there anyway. As I said before there's an important distinction for me between unconscious and unwanted biases and conscious...

@"christian2017" has been banned for low quality. I suppose now would be a good time to resurrect the accusation that we're picking on theists. Though...

Fuck, yeah. :cheer: I think street is bang on about consensus. Sometimes it needs to be forced rather than reached.

You seem to be backpedalling from the position I thought you were taking and saying that it is about black people (and their "look") rather than about...

Again here's the topic of the thread: Systemic racism in the US: Why is it happening and what can be done? and it will be kept strictly on-topic (off-...

I moved all of that to the other s.r. thread, which you should know about since you've posted there. Laughable. It's you who don't know what the topic...

Congrats, you have achieved the necessary level of radicality for admission to the crazy batshit leftist club. @"fdrake" Mm, there's a sop thrown to t...

:yawn:

Worth a chuckle. But let's get back on topic.

Ah, yeah, not sure we'll run the poll again, but point taken.

@"Noble Dust" We tend to be more sensitive to complaints about the site looking trashy and low quality than not open enough to the thoughts of common ...

Oh, my bedtime, thank God-of-the-big-dick! Night all :kiss:

Hey, man, if you're scared, just say so!

It's sad when someone thinks theism vs atheism is a popularity contest. Worse when their attempt to prove God is the winner backfires by being so exqu...

He was identified as a maths kook to me.

It's an odd thing for anyone to say. Almost like, "Look, God has a big dick too!" Anyway, this is the type of rubbish you can unfortunately expect in ...

Took the words out of my gob. It's a natural place to gravitate for newbies, especially newbie atheists who fancy themselves hot shit.

None of what you mentioned would I associate with anything other than being young and wanting to fit in. Maybe shake off your Obama suit and loosen up...

He's not an isolated case but perhaps suffers from a particularly virulent strain.

After taking advice from other members of the team, banned @"Devans99" for low quality.

But here, you're falling into talking about "black" people again. If you don't like certain types of clothes, fine, talk about that, but you can't inf...

If someone is genuinely concerned about whether they're racist, they are not engaged with that aspect of themselves even if it does exist (and unconsc...

The same bad arguments get posted again and again by religious posters and get attacked in a similar way again and again by non-religious posters and ...

:up:

I added it and reclosed the thread, which is now in the lounge. May it never be spoken of again.

The meaning of the word is the problem. You'd know that if you understood it. "The term happiness is used in the context of mental or emotional states...

Reading it again, it sounded a bit like that. But no, I think it's more likely he isn't racist as it happens.

Meanwhile, the Texas governor who said the economy is more important than life and death is getting his wish with lots of dead Texans and record numbe...

No, I'm not, actually. I'm assuming he's the only one who knows (or could know) what it's based on. And the idea of asking us is a waste of time. And ...
