Reg 03/20/21 8:14:33 PM #153 | masterplum posted... So I have almost picked up this game like 3 times and I know there's a ton of versions. Which is the best?S is the definitive version content-wise. It's also no longer Switch exclusive, but I don't know which of PS4 or PC is better. Just get it wherever you want really, and be careful that you're not getting the original version if you get it anywhere other than the Switch. |

Chik-fil-a is legit pretty low tier relative to either, and even that's miles above chicken offerings from places that aren't dedicated to chicken tbh |

Reg 07/16/20 9:56:42 PM #144 | Forceful_Dragon posted... I don't know if "wrong" is the right word.Uhhh, if anything the exact opposite is happening here. For example, Texas and Florida both have something like 5x as many (supposedly non-Covid) pneumonia deaths from Feb-May this year than in a normal year according to CDC data https://twitter.com/Buckleup36/status/1277023213118279680?s=20 |

Reg 07/16/20 5:03:06 PM #23 | Peace___Frog posted... I haven't heard of Cane's, which means it's probably better than the big names on the list!It's a very distinctly southern thing. Murphiroth posted... Don't really understand the Cane's hype, had it for the first time recently and while the chicken and fries are decent they'd just be basic ass chicken and fries without the Cane's sauceI mean, duh? But that still makes it damn good for fast food chicken. You've got to contextualize here. It's not gonna be gourmet shit. It's still fast food in the end, even if it's at the upper end of that specific category. The Zaxbys I've been to have all been comparable quality-wise though, so picking one over the other is whatever. |

Topic | So why did the medical community bungle mask advice so badly? |
Reg 07/08/20 9:10:03 AM #23 | SeabassDebeste posted... i specifically remember that we were told masks could "make it worse by increasing the viral load you're exposed to!" we were specifically discouraged from wearing masks. i remember smugly thinking that people wearing masks were doing the wrong thing and that i, avoiding touching things but sanitizing and washing my hands all the time, was doing the "right" thing.I definitely do not remember this at all. Kenri posted... My memory of it is that masks were in incredibly short supply in the early stages of the pandemic, so the advice to the general public to not wear masks was for the sake of ensuring that medical personnel would have the masks they needed. I don't think it was ever about masks not being helpful. StealThisSheen posted... Early on, the thought was that those that are sick with it will actually appear sick, and the better thing for healthy people to do would be to properly stay home as much as they could, social distance, etc. Thus, the desire was to save the masks for the people in the health industry and to avoid people thinking they could just wear a mask and not worry about any other preventative measures. LordoftheMorons posted... Afaik the main reason was concerns of shortages for healthcare workers. There was also uncertainty about their efficacy (particularly if not worn properly), and a concern that people would be less careful about distancing if they felt like they were already protected by the mask. It was certainly a big mistake, though.These, though, yes. |

That's been a recurring theme for a lot of us, unfortunately.actually I checked the spreadsheet linked above Seeing Badger's name on it legit surprises me a bit. Dude struck me as one of the most genuinely positive people around. He says he has the receipts in his favor and is lawyering up, but I don't have the time right now to go through that and see what the details are or if there's actually reasonably disputing the allegations against him. Everybody else on the list I either know nothing about, or I'm not actually surprised (Not in the sense that I "expected" it from them, but more that there was no particular reason or things I knew/thought about them to make it surprising) |

I was actually expecting for the GDQ scene to have a reckoning like this too by now but so far that hasnt happenedI'm actually quite surprised (in the best way possible) that nothing has come out for the GDQ/speedrunning community. I'm chalking it up to the fact that, aside from GDQ, the vast majority of it is very decentralized and over the internet (As opposed to e.g Smash/esports meeting up in person for tournaments), but it's a good thing regardless. |

Reg 07/02/20 3:07:32 PM #95 | skullbone posted... Wow Tobiwan too? He always gave off a sort of Michael Cole, "I'm better than you" vibe so that one's not too surprising I guess.Is he the biggest name brought up so far? Gotta think Dota is bigger than Smash, and even though I'm not into Dota at all I still know the name. The only comparably big name I know of mixed up in anything here is Joe Miller, who had stuff come out from 2014ish when he was still in the League of Legends scene. The only name I recognized off KP's list above is Nairo. *Disclaimer: I'm quite well insulated from the inner workings of pretty much any competitive gaming community, so there's a lot going on here that I don't know. |

Reg 07/01/20 10:12:39 PM #43 | GentlemanGamer posted... In this situation, the lack of public response is just fine, these sorts of entanglements are not really the job of the president to respond to, the cold war business is all intel agencies, even if the 'fake news' claims are bogus.I actually generally agree with this take, but when we've got a president that's been so, uh, pro-Russia during his time in office, and the response he has given is to just scream that this is fake, you can see why people may be rightfully a bit miffed. To put it lightly. Especially when he represents the political party that claims to be strongly pro-military. Like, I don't think anybody's actually expecting him to do truly do anything on it, but is at least acknowledging it and denouncing it too much to ask for? |

Reg 06/29/20 6:52:27 PM #142 | LeonhartFour posted... Like this. I thought about just allowing people to pick "match winner" without having to commit to either fighter, but perhaps having that pick only be worth half. Or maybe a 50 point bonus if they decide to pick just Ganondorf or BanjoI'm fine with this as long as that pick isn't worth half - seems like a pointless thing to do imo. 5-way FFA Finals + two runner-up matches sounds good to me too. |
