What about stuff like bottled water, canned food, toilet paper? My dad was going on about stocking up on stuff, and he was mostly focused on having a large supply of toilet paper. He said that's the first thing that got sold out in china. Then he sent me a picture saying it was "my stash" and it was a massive amount of toilet paper.

Should I make a frantic dash to the store when I get home?

No, just head to your dad's place and steal his stockpile.

The Louvre just closed, Vatican as well... and Venice, and its impossible to go to Vienna. Disney also closing down, possibly the Olympics as well... and the NBA... and gaming events...

None of those are hyping it up to world ending levels.

It's good to be cautious and limit its spread to avoid unnecessary deaths, but there's no particular reason to believe that this is the WORLD ENDER some people have hyped it up to be.

Who's been hyping it up to be a world ender?

There are 900 Power Moons, and I had was basically bored after 400. Wtf. Why did they make it this way?

Because plenty of people enjoy getting more of them. You don't need to get them all to complete the game, so calling it filler is silly.

Why is there only enough life boats for 30% of passengers?

I'm done and lastly, we can use genes to determine a person's race.

We don't use genes to determine race. Whether we could or couldn't is irrelevant, we still don't.

Default1234 posted...

You didn't understand what I meant.

I understood exactly what you meant. You asked a question and I answered it.

it feels like you are deliberately arguing for the sake of arguing or you REALLY didn't get what I said

There's no argument here. I don't know why you keep acting like there is one.

You asked how we don't use genes to determine race, and I explained that to you.

We don't use genes to determine race, because we don't use DNA tests to determine race. Since DNA tests how we determine people's gene's if we aren't doing DNA tests to determine stuff, we aren't using genes to determine those stuff.

What part of that is confusing you, or making you think there's an argument. It's quite simple.

Default1234 posted...

yeah JE seems to be the one who is trolling as he deliberately cherry picks certain phrases in my posts to make arguments

Not at all. All I did was quote a question you asked, and answered it for you. I don't see how anyone can class answering people's questions for them as trolling.

what are you even talking about now?

I'm answering your question. You asked how we don't use genes to determine race, and explained that to you.

We don't use genes to determine race, because we don't use DNA tests to determine race. Since DNA tests how we determine people's gene's if we aren't doing DNA tests to determine stuff, we aren't using genes to determine those stuff.

I don't see what you don't understand about this.

Default1234 posted...

again you make no sense and cherry picking stuff to make it appear as if you have an argument

No, I quoted your question because I was answering your question. We don't use genes to determine race because we don't DNA test people to determine their race. It really is that simply.

Default1234 posted...

again you just took one thing out of my post and removed everything else

Because the rest of your post wasn't the question.

Default1234 posted...

how do we not determine race through genes?

Because we don't do DNA tests to determine people's race.

Default1234 posted...

you are cherry picking whatever you want instead of replying to my actual arguments

Ok, you are right. You also argued that races are genetic, even though we don't determine race through genes.

Default1234 posted...

lost argument
reply with "LMAO"

yeah, it's pointless explaining anything to you

That's pretty funny coming from a guy who's argument is "you don't make any sense" and "do your research".

Default1234 posted...

you are making no sense and desperately trying to make excuses to suit your argument that race is a social construct

Oh, please. I'm not the one trying to argue race is genetic but we don't need to do DNA tests to determine race.

I suggest you first learn about the difference between skull shapes of different races. If races did not exist then archaeologists wouldn't be able to tell the race of a 2000 year old skeleton, simply by looking at the skull shape.

LMAO. Just LMAO.

They're never going to be wasps because the country is predominantly Catholic and that isn't changing in favor of any other religion.

They are also unlikely to become Anglo-Saxon.

Default1234 posted...

and different groups of people have different set of genes

Oh, so when determining race you do DNA tests of people? That's strange I don't recall doing a DNA whenever I get asked my race.

Default1234 posted...

you are saying race is a social construct and that isn't true, there are biological, physical, genetic factors for the differences

Except those aren't due to race they are due to genes, as you noted.

Default1234 posted...

I think you should probably do a bit more research into this topic because there are definitely physical and biological differences between different groups of people. It's not even just the difference in facial features and skin tone but also DNA. This is why some studies are released claiming certain races could be more susceptible to certain diseases because they carry those particular genes which could be vulnerable in these situations.

How strange, your post seems to indicate you think I am wrong, but you don't actually contradicts what I said.

Default1234 posted...

how is race a social construct when there are actual, physical differences between skull shapes and facial features

Because the different races are very arbitrarily, and inconsistently defined. Furthermore they don't have any major biological impact.

Many jobs where you use a computer allow you to work from home though....which is a ton of workers.

So this one suggestion is completely irrational because it doesn't apply to every US worker?

Also here's a bunch of stats about how remote working has greatly increased in the last 10+ years.

All that does is tell you it's gotten more common but not how common it is.

Phone the help line on the ATM, and tell them what happened, follow their instructions.

Ireland is included in UK

No, it is not.

Not long after it came out, I don't even think the online mode was ready when I last played it. I think I got it the Christmas after the game came out, and I completed the single player mode, and never went back.

Warhammer II definitely deserves it's hype. You have so many factions to play as, and while there's a couple of duds (warriors of chaos, beastmen, and wood elves) they are all very different and pretty unique to play.

Rome 2 fairly for historic games helped out by a few kinda recent updates, I haven't really played it though as I only bought it yesterday. I also haven't got Three Kingdoms and don't plan to buy it until it gets a good sale, at least.

Toph is probably the most static of the characters in the Last Airbender.

Agreed, she starts the show awesome, and ends it awesome.

1-5. Although I also have a soft spot for 6-2 (mostly the fact the villain takes huge joy in defeating the Gramarye family, as he only lost due to Apollo Justice, unaware that Apollo Justice is part of the Gramarye family), and 6-5.

I'm a mix of Scotch-Irish and some Cherokee.

Last name claims to be Welsh.

So I highly doubt it.

Maybe at the least related by other means other than blood.

I pretty sure the British Royal family has Wales, and Irish ancestry, and I know they have Scottish ancestry since the whole reason the Kingdoms of England, and Scotland got a shared monarch was because the Scottish King inherent the English throne.

Cut it off. Your back can't hurt you, if it's not attached to your body.

Oh, you misinterpreted my "he only cared about her..." remark. I meant romantically, not literally. He still liked her as a friend, but only considered her wife material when she became hot.

Well that seems like a silly statement in that case. Physical appearance is obviously an important part of any relationship.

Ivynn posted...

10-15 years ago lol

Refresh my memory

He walked in to the Chamber of Secrets in order to rescue her. Hardly the action of some who doesn't care about her.

I honestly don't know why, but it honestly never bothers me. Weirdly play early PS1 games that use the Japanese stlye controls does.

Ivynn posted...

Wait, scratch that, I realized Harry only started caring about Ginny when he saw how hot she became so maybe he is shallow.

Lol what, did you like not read Chamber of Secrets?

By and large they don't have political or religious goals, which are defining traits for terrorists. Labeling them all terrorist is essentially redefining terrorist to mean any violent group.

ReignFury posted...

She turns 30 in about 3 weeks. Thats kinda weird

I don't see why it's weird. She was 21 when the last movie came out, a 3 year age gap between character and actor is hardly strange.

toyota posted...

Yeah I didnt mind the ginny actress playing her in the first few movies, but wasnt it book 4 or 5 she came back from summer and was ridiculously hot out of the blue and all the guys started to fall for her? Tbh that should have been the time to change actresses and it honestly would have worked cos she was literally supposed to look completely diferent

Nah, Harry only notices then as before then she would almost always flee on sight from him.

I want to play Crusader Kings II, but the sheer amount of DLC always stops me from buying the game.

I don't see why the possibility of extra content would stop you buying the game. Having said try joining the discord and asking if anyone with all the DLC would be willing to host a game with you. If the host has any DLC the players get it unlocked as well for that game.

Murder laws are already on the books.

Sure, but murder is the deliberate, unlawful killing of another human. Following court orders is the opposite of unlawful.

I was originally going to pick 4, but just before entering I had a weird need to change to 6, I'm glad I did, although 4 would have been good as well.
