This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Speaking as a nurse, your advice regarding the uselessness of unfitted N95 respirators is spot on. If it hasn't been fitted properly, it's useless.

Twitter is cancer. (This is a literal statement, not allegory, analogy, simile, or other figure of speech.) Coronavirus is not cancer.

On that basis, Twitter is worse.

I know two cases where someone was driven to suicide. Does that count?

Agreed. Call me a stick in the mud but I don't feel comparing people being shitty to each other to an epidemic that has killed a bunch of people.

Suicide is never a nice thing to happen and on the other hand it is something that you can take or leave if you please.

Chinese Corona virus does not care what you feel about it.

Are you more likely to get Lyme disease along with the Corona virus?

BTW, if you or anyone you know is crapping themselves about the Coronavirus, please visit the Johns Hopkins website and read the Lancet article. The media is so laughably full of shit, and intentionally so. So in that respect, it's just like DnDTwitter.

Fortunately Johns Hopkins has real data, real facts and real science.

OMG, that's awesome! I am totally spreading this information!

Twitter has certainly killed many more people in the UK than Coronavirus, and has ruined countless lives.

I don't really accept the idea that suicide is a free choice while dying of a virus is not. Cartesian Dualism isn't real, the mind is an emergent process of a physical organism, and when vulnerable people are driven to kill themselves, those who harassed them into suicide deserve blame at least.

The possible good news is Trump supporting billionaire has bought a chunk of Twitter and now is trying to out Jack Dorsey the CEO and put his own CEO at the helm.

While I don't know exactly how this new CEO would change Twitter, I imagine the shift would cause mass leaving of SJWs from the company ranks and perhaps even a crackdown on their bizarre rules.

I don't want to dream, but it would be cool if Twitter became a free speech site.

My local chemist had a sign on the door, provided by the NHS, that stated that anyone who had travelled recently to a list of countries on the card should not enter the building. Instead they should go home and call. Something like this.

Agreed and seconded.

I can't believe thAt is even up for debate. Virulent, fatal, disease vs posts online that I don't agree with. The first is infinitely more worse than the second.

I guess it's a slow start of the week for interesting topics for Pundit to use as discussion topics.
