Meet in someones backyard and drink your faces off and have a BBQ. easier to socially distance that way than going to a bar

Thats a good idea. I can see that working.

I don't know why I'm playing Destiny 2... but I am...

My really good friend has been Overseas in the Army for over a year. He came back home on Saturday. He wants to go out with a bunch of people this weekend. Im sure most of you are aware and are thinking.... There is a Pandemic going on. Getting everyone together and/or going out isnt a good idea.

I would have shut that down instantly if it wasnt for the fact that my friend is only here for 2 weeks then he has to go back to Base in Texas for Months....

What would you do? What is the best option? Just dont do anything and let him go back to Base?

For the story mode the last one only had story mode and no multiplayer

I so enjoy Campagin as well. Also, Im not a big fan of Battle Royal. I prefer Multiplayer. I dont play much CoD at all this year because I just dont really enjoy the MP. I have to chalk it up to the maps because the shooting and movement feels great.

can someone please tl;dr this for me? thank you to anyone who does.

The article is saying at the start that there is a reported rise in aggressive eye contact since face masks became a thing which can lead to increase harassment of women, girls and minorities.

Everything else is random stats about masks to fluff out the article

- Are some face coverings better than others?
The WHO advises a three-layer face covering in the community - the outer layer should be water resistant, the inner should be water absorbent and the mid-layer acts as a filter.
It emphasises that a face covering alone cannot protect people from COVID-19, and must be combined with social distancing of at least a metre and regular hand washing.
The Government has said coverings can be made from scarves, bandanas or other fabric items, as long as they cover the mouth and nose.
But scientists at the Leverhulme Centre, who studied different types of face coverings used by members of the public, say some coverings are not as effective as others, with loosely woven fabrics, such as scarves, shown to be the least effective. Prof Mills, director of the Leverhulme Centre, said: 'Attention must also be placed on how well it fits on the face; it should loop around the ears or around the back of the neck for better coverage.'
- What are the main messages about face coverings?
Prof Mills says cloth coverings are an effective way to protect the wearer and those around them. She says that face masks and coverings cannot be seen in isolation and are part of a package that involves hand hygiene and social distancing. Consistent and effective public messaging is vital, she concluded.

-coverings became commonplace as an expert warns they 'provide anonymity' for threatening behavior

My God CE... I... I dont know what to say... Ive seen it all I guess... (combine the link to get the article)

EDIT: Bold/Underlined is the main point of this long article

8564247/amp/Are-masks-giving-men-

licence-stare-Women-report-rise-aggressive-

eye-contact.html?__twitter_impression=true

UN Women UK Executive Director Claire Barnett told FEMAIL: 'As we work to "build back better" following lockdown, we need to prevent the lack of witnesses of antisocial behaviour due to less populated public spaces, as well as the anonymity face coverings can provide, leading to further rises in harassment and threatening actions towards women, girls and minoritised groups.
Face coverings in England
Face coverings are now mandatory in shops and supermarkets across England.
Under new rules introduced by the Government over the weekend, people will need to cover their nose and mouth or face a fine of up to 100. People with certain disabilities will be exempt.
This comes after rules requiring people to wear face coverings on public transport became mandatory last month. Initially many experts and authorities including the World Health Organisation suggested face coverings were not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 but are now recommending wearing them in indoor spaces.
- When do I need to wear face masks?
Face coverings will have to be worn in shops, supermarkets and enclosed shopping centres as well as train stations, banks, post offices, building societies, bus stations and airports.
The Government has also said that people taking out food and drink from cafes has to wear a face mask, but does not have to wear a covering if they sit in the premises.
Meanwhile, supermarket and shop staff do not have to wear masks, with several major retailers including Sainsbury's, Asda and Costa Coffee saying they will not police the rules aggressively.
Masks do not have to be worn in pubs and restaurants, museums, cinemas, theatres, indoor gyms and leisure facilities, spas and beauty salons, hairdressers, galleries, concert and bingo halls.
Face coverings are also thought to make no difference outdoors as the risk of transmission is low in open air.
Failure to comply with the rules could result in a 100 fine although the police have said they will not be aggressively enforcing the law, with ministers hoping the public will show 'common sense' on the issue.
- Are there any exemptions?
Yes, while face coverings will be mandatory in shops, banks, takeaways, post offices, sandwich shops and supermarkets in England from Friday there are some exemptions.
Section three of the Government guidance, published on Thursday, sets out a list of 'legitimate reasons' not to wear a covering. Groups and settings include:
If speaking with people who rely on lip reading, facial expressions and clear sound to help with communication.
It is not mandatory for shop or supermarket staff or transport workers to wear face coverings but employers can ask them to do so where appropriate and where other mitigation is not in place, the guidance states.
People exempt from wearing a face covering can choose to carry and show an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign, the Government says.
- Has there been confusion over the new rules?
Yes, opposition MPs have said it needs to be clarified whether customers have to wear face coverings in takeaways and sandwich shops in England.
The criticism came after days of mixed messages with the Health Secretary and Boris Johnson's official spokesman contradicting each other on the matter.
The Daily Telegraph reported that people using sandwich shops and takeaways will be required to wear a mask, and buying food from the counter and then sitting down to eat inside the shop will be banned.
Ministers are facing accusations that the new rules are muddled, inconsistent and illogical, with face masks not necessary in pubs, restaurants and cinemas, but mandatory in shops, takeaway shops and shopping centres.
David Strain of Essex University said there was 'no logic to the exclusion of theatres and cinemas' as social distancing could not be enforced: 'There is no reason why shopkeepers or supermarket staff should be exempt'.
Chaand Nagpaul, head of the British Medical Association, told The Times: 'While today's guidance is in some ways helpful, the uncertainty of recent weeks has done nothing to inspire public confidence. Meanwhile, if venues such as theatres, museums and salons are not subject to these rules, there must be an absolute assurance that they can protect the public by enforcing physical distancing or putting other mitigating measures in place.'
And Jon Richards of the Unison union said: 'Government guidance has been confusing from the beginning. The UK was late to the table on face coverings and now people don't know what they should do.
'There are rules for shops and public transport, but not for other enclosed spaces such as libraries, register offices and civic centres. The public needs clarity to end the muddle.'
- What does the science say about face coverings?
A Royal Society report suggests that even basic homemade face coverings can reduce transmission if enough people wear them when in public.
The study, based on mathematical modelling, showed that if an entire population wore face coverings that were only 75 per cent effective, it would bring the R value, which is the number of people an infected individual passes the virus on to, from 4.0 to under 1.0, without the need for lockdowns.
Another Royal Society report suggests the use of cotton masks is associated with a 54 per cent lower odds of infection in comparison to the no mask groups, when tested in a healthcare setting.
Melinda Mills from the University of Oxford told a webinar: 'So that should suggest that when you're generally in the public that it should offer you some, not 100 per cent, but it does offer you some protection.'
Another study which looked at coronavirus deaths across 198 countries found that nations which had policies favouring mask-wearing had lower death rates.
In another piece of scientific research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last month, scientists calculated that wearing face coverings prevented more than 78,000 infections in Italy between April 6 and May 9, and more than 66,000 infections in New York City between April 17 and May 9.
- What are the benefits to wearing them?
Experts say the risk of coronavirus transmission appears to be higher in poorly ventilated indoor spaces and wearing face coverings in small shops or enclosed shopping centres could help reduce the spread.
Keith Neal, professor of epidemiology at the University of Nottingham, said: 'Lack of strong evidence of their effectiveness should not be considered a problem but the evidence is accumulating that they have a part to play in reducing transmission and also in protecting the wearer.'
In addition, there is also increased evidence which suggests that many people with the virus who do not have symptoms can still be contagious.
- What do people need to know about wearing masks?
Ideally the face coverings should be made of multilayer high quality cotton.
Where possible they should be should be worn in indoor confined spaces and crowded spaces, especially where social distancing cannot be maintained.
Japan follows the three Cs, closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings. When wearing a face covering, it should cover the mouth and nose.

An individual moving through a relatively still air mass can feel friction with that air, but that is not wind. Wind is an air mass movement or "flow" that can be felt as friction with that air.

Thought experiment:
If you are in an air mass and you move at the same speed and direction as it's flow, it will feel like relatively still air.

I guess that makes sense. Its like driving a car at.. I dont know.. 100 mph. You drop a ball in the car going that fast and the ball drops straight down from your perspective inside the car because

A. The ball is moving the same speed as the car at 100 mph

B. There is no air resistance

It makes sense. It was something I was thinking about when my niece a few days ago rolled down the window and said the wind was strong

Yes. Wind is created by the friction of the moving vehicle and your hand which is also moving.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Wind is pressurized atmospheric currents. What you are experiencing when you stick your hand out the window is just air friction.

This is why I asked the question. There seems to be conflicting opinions on this

Its late at night and a random thought popped into my head. We know what wind is. We stand outside, air hits us at any speed, then we have wind. Easy. Here is my question...

Lets say there is a day when there is no wind at all. No gusts as well. Completely calm. If you are driving down the highway, roll down your window and stick your hand out.... Can that air you are feeling be correctly defined as wind?

Agreed. I completely understanding being upset and confused. And be mad as hell at the mother. But if you can turn your 'love' of the child off just like that, that's just sick and doesn't seem like you ever loved them.

OK. Here is the thing about this. We are assuming, in this situation, men learn they arent the father and instantly turn off the love for the child. Why are we assuming that? What if he gave it a legit shot and the love just started to fade away? Is he still awful?

and the gf obviously didn't love him to begin with if she caused that mess in the first place
you don't honestly love someone if you lie to them about something like that, you 100% DON'T
someone hit with that kind of revelation is gonna be hella pissed and feel betrayed, big fuckin shock...

i know its fake, but this shit happens for real and its gross when the skank who caused the mess in the first place gets a flame shield and praise...

fr the stupid ass mom in this scenario is the main villain because shes the original cause of the family fallin apart to being with
"but but but the baby" doesn't need to gloss over her ugly part in wreckin things for her baby too

you call him out, you need to CALL HER OUT TOO, shes just as fuckin guilty for ruining things for her child
he got mad and booted them out because of HER CHEATING AND BETRAYAL
a hypothetical child got hit in the crossfire, but why a man would be upset over this shit is 100% understandable
skanky ass mom knew that could happen and she still slept around and lied about who the kid's real dad is
that kind of irresponsible fucked up mistake would be the real cause of her baby losing a home, she would deserve that blame

somebody wanna argue "what's best for the child", okay
step 1: give up being an immature backstabbin ho and avoid creating a powderkeg that could blow things for your child later
you don't love your child if you casually do selfish dishonest shit thats gonna break the kid's family apart and push the other parent away
if you love your child, you DON'T fear accountability, you teach them the value of it by living it

as a woman cheating bs like this disgusts me and so does the disingenuous dismissive defense of it
being a skank who cheats on a committed partner and fucks over a family with convenient lies is not female empowerment, it's being a villain

This response is practically perfect

The courts are clear when they make those decisions that they interpret the law in the best inteterest of the kids and not the parents. In that regards it's fair. On the other hand, in a situation like this, it does end up rewarding the mother for having lied. But it is what it is.

I would say the best way to handle this specific situation is for the government to use tax payer money to help the child and put restrictions in place. However, no one wants that because people honestly would rather have the man greatly screwed than to pay probably as little as an extra dollar in taxes for every American to cover this specific situation

That's not true though. In many jurisdictions if he acted like the father at some point and presented himself as such, he's on the hook. I wouldn't be surprised if even in this situation the woman can sue him for child support despite the manipulation.

Assuming of course the whole thing isnt fake.

Is that really fair though? I know that is law so it doesnt really matter but maybe they should change that system. I have a few things in mind but I can see negative backlash to that too so Im not sure what the best way to go about this. I know the government punishing and innocent man like that while rewarding the woman who did fraud isn't fair. I know some people will say that the government isnt rewarding the woman because they are taking care of the child. However, many women get child support money with no restrictions on how to use that money. Some just go blow that money on themselves.

https://youtu.be/nq2zMGb_0GI

The guy got a DNA Test on his daughter after being suspicious if she was his daughter. After finding out the results, he wrapped it up as a gift and gave it to his GF on the daughters 3rd birthday. (Seems like the daughter is still unaware of this) She is in shock and blaming him for doing this today while claiming she didnt cheat.

I saw this on Facebook and the amount of people defending the woman like she is the victim and criticizing the man was blowing my mind. I dont get how he is the bad guy when this woman cheated on him, got pregnant and lied to him for 3 years about a child being his.

What are your thoughts?

My issue was that he existed at all. All of those episodes in the second season could just not exist at all and the series would be better. Gun Gala was good. Not great but good.

Agree 100%. That season was a complete waste of time with some really weird shit in it. Like a Blood Sister wanting to fuck her Blood Brother. Why? Plus he already had a girlfriend anyway which shouldnt even matter. I can never forget that about her. Plus... the whole Harem thing when everyone is friends with his girlfriend.... why? In fact... Harem in general... Why?

Yea. They did it again. I guess they did it to increase tension. I guess it also pushed an orc to realize he was human which he was already being convinced otherwise. There were plenty of other ways to do it.

When the bad guy is suddenly found cos of that invincible dude, I was like, err okay, how does the rest of this play out then? I thought this would unravel a lot slower.

The rest is then terrible and weird and then that part in season one happens and I dropped it and never looked back.

Yea... shit like what made you drop the anime happens from time to time. For them to pull they shit in an Arc that actually is pretty good and has actual risk is just... God...

I don't know why I'm playing Destiny 2... but I am...

I know most people hate this anime which I understand to be honest. It has clear valid criticism. I really like the overall theme and the animation so I keep up with it. It is legit my guilty pleasure.

So I just found out a new season is dropping episodes a few weeks ago. First episode of a new season... 15 minutes in... They just pull some straight up perverted BS out their ass that this show is so heavily criticized for. Lets just say... there is a scene that is a common... stereotype... of... adult anime. (Not trying time get moderated here.

Whats makes it 10x worse us that they couldnt do the basic one that people dont want to see in an anime. They had to take it to the next level and make it CLEAR what happened. They could have left it to the viewers imagination which isnt much to begin with based on how far they took it there but then just go above and beyond.

Shit like that is why people hate Sword Art Online and I honestly question why I still watch it when scenes like that happen. I mean... WTF? Why was that even necessary for the plot?
