I will wait to reveal exactly what it is I did last night, but rest assured that my action was successful.

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
I did not. points to the previous post to show you what I wanted to do with my night action
Actually, since you chose not to do anything last night, "walking in circles for three hours" sounds like reasonable flavor for what your behavior at night would have been.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Another question for you, Snowy girl:
Did anything happen last night with the glowing gem?

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
That sounds like a confirmation of Batman's night action if he chose to watch you, Nami.

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
Snowy girl, a question for you:
Yesterday, you said that we should be willing to vote out those who aren't participating. But today, instead of voting for Queen, you've chosen to vote for Batman.
I assume that you have some solid reasoning for this… can you explain it?
-
RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
This is all very intriguing and I would like to see how it plays out, but I fear that we won't have enough participation by the end of the day…
Vote: Extend day

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
In the interest of speeding this along slightly, I'll try to contribute.
For all that I love to go in circles, I tend to dance more than walk. I did not use my action to walk in circles last night.

I'm still waiting on a response from you, Queen!!! Explain yourself, or else. This flat patch of earth that I noticed earlier should be a fine stage for our confrontation.

Speaking of, I shall vote to help build footholds! It would be very great if we can get up there! There might be some good treasure up there! And of course food!
By the way, I think you should vote too! Who knows I might reward you quite nicely! wink wink
Well said, Miss Nami!
Thank you for tarrying all day on that tunnel, but I suspect we will be able to find a more expeditious route out of here if we focus first on getting ourselves back into prime condition.
Wait, what?! I feel fine!
Also, I’ll forgive you for not noticing, seeing as you were so focused on digging until now. But that box, well, you see… Harpy Girl over here already opened it and took the glowing gem that was inside.

Bon Clay, did youlearn about the hole before referencing it in your first post? Or did you just find a potion in the hole you made up?

As I said earlier, of course I saw the hole as soon as we got down here. Don't underestimate the sharp eyes of an alluring okama such as myself!

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
Batman, would you be willing to allow a volunteer with high athletics or craft to attempt opening the box? I believe you should be able to pass it to someone and allow them to attempt to open it. With the item being returned to you afterwards of course.
My athletic ability is nothing to be scoffed at, perhaps I can be of assistance?

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
With a long start and a loud shriek both Bon Clay and Monet run towards the intimidating vertical wall. They both run a nice couple of dozen steps in before gravity said Nah huh. The wall started to slip right under their feet, and both of them, with eyes popping, fell to the ground.
Buggy: I don't think you would be able to do that… Usopp: Can't you fly, Miss Harpy?
Monet: And I am also dead, don't start with that!May we scatter on the true sky~~~!
CRASH
Well, it was worth a try, I suppose.

I'm still convinced that we'll need those provisions, and I can't shake the feeling that we'll find something else that is useful once we get up there.

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
Speaking of getting distracted, what do you think you're doing? You say we all need to work together, but all you're doing is ensuring someone's demise.
If it comes down to it I don't mind dirtying my hands, but I'm not going to unnecessarily put my life at risk. I would urge all of you to actually use your heads before you go brain-dead from oxygen deprivation. Maybe then you would realize that any of us could become a scapegoat if we waste time.
I have to wonder though… if you're someone who was able to break out of Impel Down, did you really overlook this? I'm watching you Bon Clay.

In situations like this, you should learn to relax.
But, by all means, you may continue to watch me, young lady. After all, my unique style of dancing has to be seen to be believed.

Buggy: Also, we have all taken quite a fall there, and exhaustion has begin to set in. Already I can see that all of us have taken a few points of damage. If we don't get anything to eat soon, our situation will degrade further.
Buggy: LUCKILY!! Yours truly also saw some flashy provisions up there. But, we will need to build some footholds to reach the spot, at least a day's job.
I think that some of you may be forgetting precisely what our wacky host said when we arrived at the bottom of this hole. If we don't do something about our exhaustion soon, it's bound to get worse. Wouldn't it be best if we ensure that we are all in top shape to confront whatever dangers may be lurking here?
Wait! Did I imply that I was exhausted?! Stop jokin' around~~~! I feel great!

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
Oh, have you guys noticed that small vent up there? I'd climb it to check it out, but I can feel my 'Can't-climb-that-wall' disease rising up again. I'll keep looking down here, but if anybody wants to get up there, be my guest. Maybe there's useful stuff there that I can tinker with.
Long nose! So good to see you again, my friend. Would you be willing to assist me in getting some footholds made so that we can retrieve those provisions and perhaps get a closer look at that vent you so kindly pointed out?
Now, now, boys! Let's save the fighting for a better venue. Preferably when we get out of this forsaken place, or at least into a room with more airflow. And space to dodge bullets.
Grrrr, I do espy that cunning Bon Clay here. That bastard tricked me before and I'll have my revenge. When no one's looking, I'll sneak up behind him and s- wait!
And don't you think for a second that I didn't hear you, you bastard. I've bested you once, and I'll best you again if you even think of trying…!
But, there's no need for us to fight, for now. What say we work together on getting Usopp up to that vent?

RE: Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover
Some flowers may bloom, even under the harshest of conditions.
I think that if we can work together, then we might find a way to overcome both obstacles at once.
Who knows? We might even be able to see an easier way out if we get to a higher vantage point. Should we trust that the clown saw everything on the way down?

Miss Nami, you didn't by chance dig a conspicuous little hole right here in the middle of my little choreographed dance routine, did you?
No?
Well, good. Of course, I saw it immediately. But I decided to trip over it anyway.
If we are to fall, then may we scatter across the true sky. Okama Way~~~!

Well, I'd be more than happy to help dig us out of here, but I must say that those provisions are beginning to sound particularly enticing.

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Delta is going to seriously fuck all of us up this winter, which is why it makes sense that governments are incentivizing the idiots to get vaccinated.
Some people are just too paranoid or stupid to get it, though.

RE: Confession Session II
It really pains me to hear all this, Starla. I wish you the best of luck in therapy and in sorting out your housing situation.
Hopefully, before long, you’ll begin to worry less about what other people think of you. Know that you have friends here who do care about you and want you to take care of yourself as best you can.

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
I think that Cocky's being sarcastic. He's pointing out that it doesn't make sense that government employees wouldn't follow behaviors that their own government is advocating for.
But I also think that, if you take Pariston's posts into account, it actually does make sense. We do live in a world where people value their own individual freedoms more than their own safety or the welfare of others.
It should also be noted that there is a very high number of government employees who are hard core Republican voters and, as has become apparent, there are a lot of Republicans who refuse to take the vaccine for… reasons.

This is like someone being trapped on top of a burning building and the fire department is trying to rescue them, but they're like "Nah, I'm just gonna wait this out. I don't trust ladders."
Haven't you seen the data on how many people fall off of those? Also, I've heard that walking under them is bad luck.

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
I find myself out of words that people are so worried about the brand of vaccines, possible side effects, and even death by COVID for those vaccinated when it HAS ALWAYS been the same (side effects, and death) to all vaccines in forever.
This is also a great point. There has never been a vaccine which had precisely 100% efficacy with exactly 0% chance of negative side effects. And yet, it is those same vaccines which have literally exterminated some of the worst, deadliest diseases that humanity has ever witnessed.
Being antivax today while ignoring the fact that you are probably only alive because of vaccines is out of this world levels of ridiculousness.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
"All evidence" includes deaths of people that are vaccinated.
Right, which shows that vaccinated people are perhaps thirty times less likely to get hospitalized with COVID. Even if you take into account the 1-in-10,000 or more chance that you’ll get severe blood clots from the vaccine, that’s still a much lower chance of illness than staying unvaccinated.
So, what exactly is the point that you’re making, here?
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Just think about it, if everyone were to get the vaccine, then the number of people in the hospital because of COVID would drop by a factor of over thirty!
That’s THIRTY! Three-Zero.
For every thirty people in the hospital today with COVID, we’d instead only have one. If that isn’t evidence that the vaccine works, then I don’t know what is.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
It’s funny that you’d rather focus on that evidence (which, again, no one is denying or brushing under the rug) while ignoring the data I provided earlier which shows that 97% of all people hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated.
The funniest part is that you seem to assume that it’s your behavior that’s prevented you from catching COVID. When in reality it’s much more likely that the reason you haven’t gotten it yet is that people first were quarantining, and are now getting vaccinated.
I’m struggling to see how I can make my point clearer for you. Getting vaccinated is less about protecting yourself from the virus, more about preventing the continued spread of a global pandemic that is still raging after more than 18 months.
tl;dr: 97% of those hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated. 99% of those that die from COVID are unvaccinated. The vaccine works, get yours today to save the lives of yourself and those you could potentially spread the virus to. Let’s end the pandemic already.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
No one is denying that even the vaccinated can still contract the disease, and even die from it.
But all evidence points to the veracity of exactly what the vaccine proponents have been saying all along:
- Vaccinated individuals are far less likely to contract COVID
- On the off chance that they do contract COVID, vaccinated individuals are far less likely to spread the disease and/or require hospitalization
But I suppose it’s not a big deal to the antivaxxers that they are continuing to clog our hospitals and give the virus even more of a chance to mutate into ever more deadly strains.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Except that the vaccine is literally free, there's next to zero chance of you having negative side effects, and it can only result in the greater good for the rest of society.
If you live in an area where the vaccine is being offered, then you owe it to everyone, including yourself, to get it.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also, it might be worth pointing out: "Big Pharma" already made their money off the vaccine when the government bought the doses from them. They got their money, whether you will take the vaccine or not.
But, and here's the rub, if you refuse to get your doses of the vaccine that were already paid for, then those doses will eventually go bad. And then the government, doing the right thing, mind you, will buy more doses so that there are still some available for you.
In other words, by avoiding the vaccine, you're ensuring that the government will put even more of your tax money into the pockets of "Big Pharma", just so that your expired doses can be replaced.
Nicely done.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Personally, I find it incredibly selfish to avoid a vaccine over concerns for your own health, especially if you have no reason for concern.
There are people who literally cannot get vaccinated, if they did they would suffer serious health problems. These people rely on the rest of the population to get vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity so that they can live their lives without fear.
Not getting vaccinated at this point is like giving a huge middle finger to those who want to, but cannot, get the vaccine.
On top of that, antivaxxers are ensuring that their bodies remain as prime candidates for viral mutation incubators.
Crazy, really. But I guess that's what happens when you live in a crazy world.

RE: What Anime Are You Watching?
Mushishi is one of my favorite anime, such a great premise and wonderful animation. I also love the opening… Shiver, right?
A while back, a friend of mine recommended that I watch Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, and I couldn't bring myself to do it because of the ridiculous title.
But, now that it's on Netflix, I'm finally giving it a shot. Really enjoying it so far!

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Yes, the Delta variant is more contagious, efficient, and deadly than the original form of COVID. Yes, even fully vaccinated individuals can still get infected by this variant and even experience severe symptoms.
But it remains true that unvaccinated people are at the highest risk. Nationally, about 97% of those hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated, and about 80% of those hospitalized have the Delta variant. Fully vaccinated individuals are far more likely to be asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms, and they are also less likely to spread the disease because they remain contagious for shorter periods of time.
Get vaccinated, please. There’s no good reason not to at this point.
https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/delta-variant.html
And, while you’re at it, please also wear a mask when out in public. Thanks.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Ah. Didn’t spot that.
Yes, of course we’ve heard of the variants (or, at least, I hope that everyone has). They’re why people are masking up again and avoiding going out to reduce their risk of catching a breakthrough infection.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
You should just get whichever one is first available. Most people don’t get side effects, and those that do only get flu-like symptoms for about a day after their second shot.
Small price to pay for the immunity that you get.
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Are we talking viral infections or being infected by common sense?
Yes.
Nah, make the strain resistant go on a gourmet tour of wet markets and bush meat delicatessens and problem solved.
Somehow I feel like we’ll be the ones who suffer most, in the end.

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Except that won’t work. See, most might get got, but you’ll be left with a strain of antivaxxers that are super-resistant to all forms of infection.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
Starla, I know that you’re sensitive about this subject, but I really think that you should take a little more time to consider what you’re saying. Researching political candidates’ backgrounds and voting based on their projected policies is definitely a good thing. But what you’re doing here is closer to “whataboutism” and “both-sidesing” than actual, legitimate critical thinking.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but it seems to me like you are falling for the malicious, time old Republican con. You’d rather consider yourself to be a fair judge of character than consider that you might be equating two (or more) sides that are so far from equal it’s almost laughable.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
I’m sorry that you are feeling this way about your conversation here, Starla. Truly.
But Neko makes good points, even if they are put a little harshly.
In the end, you are right that harsh rhetoric is unlikely to get misguided, albeit wrong, individuals to feel accepted and comfortable enough to change their perspective. But Neko is also in the right to have such harsh words for the Republican Party.
It’s admirable that you want to see the best in others at all times, Starla. But sometimes I worry that this tendency blinds you to some peoples’ faults, faults that deserve a certain amount of ridicule.

I’d also like to chime in to say that what is often attributed to malice is far more likely to be caused by stupidity or ignorance.
And that it’s in pretty poor taste to wish harm or death on people, regardless of who they are. And even worse to laugh at them after they are already dead.
