Awww bones261!  That looks like a nasty cough you have - hopefully it's just a dry throat but please wear a mask; we're trying to stay healthy!

 


OK, I have my mask on now.  Cheesy Now all that I should be giving everyone here is more merits and now virus. I'm sure I may have caught something on April the 1st from Theymos.

Bummer, I was going to give more merit to you and I cannot because I already gave you 50 merits in the past 30 days. +4 WOsmerits

In my country most prisoners were released due to this corona because there is not enough space for everyone to keep them in cells so based on their remaining prison time they have been released but now sure how much were exactly been released.

I have a question though why corona should enters into the prison? It is the most secured place then how it could spread there.

Because most prisons have employees who bring the virus in with them. Also, many prisons don't have all of their prisoners in 24/7 solitary lock down. Many even have 2 or more inmates per cell. Your country is probably releasing the less dangerous criminals so they can have only one to a cell, and those that remain will now probably be in their cell, most of the time. I almost feel sorry for those that remain because they will probably be mostly isolated.

BTW, how do you know that your TP isn't infected, right from the factory?



The chances are small that the virus will remain viable by the time it makes it to your ass.  Furthermore, there is no evidence that the virus infect someone through the rectum. Also, one should wash their hands after doing their business, which further makes it unlikely to get infected this way.

Have to agree with Roger Vermin here -

@rogerkver
If YOU are worried about the coronavirus, YOU should self isolate.
Leave the rest of us alone.

Those statistics are already outdated and are assuming that China has been completely transparent about their statistics regarding this matter. I don't trust China's level of transparency. I suspect that they only release numbers that make them look as good as possible.

...There's also another silver lining. If you run out of food you won't even have to wipe your butt anymore. Somebody should tell that to those TP hoarders.

Well if the hoarding idiots run out of food, they can always eat their toilet paper stash.
Add a little water to mush it down, salt, pepper....saute...mmmmm, yummy!
From what I can determine,  the same people that hoarded toilet paper probably filled their spare freezer with meat and other items and filled their pantries with canned goods and pasta. I doubt that they will be running out of food anytime soon.
27  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 29, 2020, 04:39:20 PM
I can mail you some from the EU. We have plenty.
If it ever runs out there's always paper towels and tissues and if that's ever gone we can start washing our butts like people in India and Pakistan. I don't believe we'll ever run out of water. There's also another silver lining. If you run out of food you won't even have to wipe your butt anymore. Somebody should tell that to those TP hoarders.
Unfortunately paper towels and tissue are hard to get in my area too. Also, those items should not be flushed down the toilet because they are not designed to disintegrate sufficiently, so you are asking for a bad clog. I guess you can treat those items like disposable diapers and simply throw them in the garbage. I'm not a parent though, so is that what people should do with disposable diapers? I always thought that was gross when I went to a gas station/rest area and saw those items lying in the trash. Furthermore, I read that COVID-19 may also be spread through the fecal/oral route, which makes discarding these things in the garbage even more disgusting.

And catch/spread the COVID-19 in the process... Not a smart move that.

Just learn to use water and soap like your ancestors did, if only to reduce paper use.
I suppose that I could do that. However, I would eventually have to replenish the soap. Also, I would need to regularly clean my bathtub, which expends extra cleaning supplies if I want to maintain some semblance of having a sanitary bathroom. I really don't see how getting in my car, going to my aunt's place and picking up a new supply of toilet paper on her doorstep is somehow more dangerous than going to the grocery store and picking up the toilet paper. Furthermore, if I get it delivered to me, I could catch Covid from either the delivery driver or the person who picked out my product and left the virus on my package. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment, so I don't have the option of installing a bidet. Even if I did, that would involve me either making a trip to Home Depot, putting me at risk, or hiring a plumber, which puts me at risk.

Gee whiz, I never realized that when I opened a thread to bitch about the lack of toilet paper that it would end up with me going on a tirade about the Christian religion. However, there is hope. I just got a call from my aunt, and it appears her household has acquired an ample supply of toilet paper. So if my stash runs out, I can drive about 80 miles and replenish my supply. Therefore, I can guarantee that I'll have a clean ass for a little while longer.

Furthermore, please explain why God the Father took his protective hand off of God the Son, even when God the Son begged him in the garden of Gethsemane not to do so?
God sent His Son to this point in torment. Why? To pay for your sins. Remember that after Jesus died, Father raised Him to life again... a glorified life. Why do you resist salvation? You attempt to make the work Jesus did for you to be wasted.



My spiritual journey ended when the Catholic priest told me after my confessional that "You cannot be gay, and a follower of Christ." Now, if I am to believe in the Roman Catholic version of apostolic succession, then that is like hearing it straight from God's mouth, since the sacraments are meant to be a physical manifestation of God's dispensation of grace. Also, I already tried the protestant route of saying that acceptance prayer multiple times. It appears to be of no avail since I am still gay. Therefore I must have not been adequately sincere or repentant enough, since it is clear that I am not exhibiting the proper "fruits" which would indicate that my faith isn't a "dead faith." I can only come to the conclusion that if YHVH, the Jahshua version, is true, perhaps Calvin had the correct notion and I am truly part of the damned, predestined since the dawn of time to go to hell. The only hope for this wretch is if somehow your God is really the great "I am" and somehow grants to me the required "grace" to assist me. Otherwise, your "Gospel" is not good news, but really bad news.
31  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 29, 2020, 12:21:35 AM
Who is blaming people for hardship? It's the fault of people if they won't believe Jesus salvation... except if they have no way of hearing.

Eternity is a long time. Think about it.

Coronavirus deaths might speed up death a little. The point isn't the death. The point is the security of the dying... that they remain securely embedded in their faith. Consoling them helps, and that is what Jesus does, directly with them as they die.

God doesn't punish people by going out and punishing them. The closest God comes to punishing people is to take His protective hand off them as they push it off themselves.

Cool
Now you are contradicting yourself. You just confirmed that you think it is my fault if I run out of toilet paper or end up dying of COVID-19 just because I am agnostic. Nonsense. Furthermore, please explain why God the Father took his protective hand off of God the Son, even when God the Son begged him in the garden of Gethsemane not to do so? Also, it appears that the flood story and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah directly contradicts your view that YHVH does not punish people. Lot's wife was even punished for looking back. Also, I don't consider Lot fared any better. Living in a cave for the rest of his life and then his desperate daughters engaging in incest with him after getting him drunk doesn't seem like a good life, even when it seemed YHVH agreed with Abraham that Lot was one of the righteous ones, and sent two angels to "rescue" him.
32  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 28, 2020, 11:43:27 PM
Yep. Pretty much it's your fault. But if you had not heard of God, it might not be your fault except a little.

The prodigal son returned to his father. Did you return to God?

The joy of the prodigal is in his father's home. Are you calling from Heaven?

Yes, it would be a shame for an agnostic, etc. That's why we all need to remain alert... so that we can show them the error of their ways.

What does it matter to me if you jokers believe in God and are saved or not? I mean, Jesus saved me, and because He asks, I express. But why would I personally care about you? Oh, sure, love. But here's my selfish reason. Eternity is a long, long time. And I need all of you that I can get to be there with us just to keep us from becoming bored (of course, that's the negative way to look at it; but we are still on Earth where negative things exist.).

Cool

You are worried about being bored in Heaven?  Cheesy  Furthermore, bad things happen to good people. There are lots of Christian martyrs that met horrible deaths. Also, I am sure there are many devout Christians in the world today that are simply having to go without toilet paper. Furthermore, I am sure there are quite a few devout Christians who have succumbed to Covid-19, and even though they were devout for 80+ years, they still had to endure a good deal of suffering before getting to rest in peace.
I advise that you stop blaming people for experiencing hardship for circumstances beyond their control and insinuating that somehow your God is punishing them. Life is hard, and most of us suffer to some extent. This includes, your savior, Jesus.
33  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 28, 2020, 10:53:40 PM
Actually, God manages everything on Earth with love, even the minds and souls of people. He is trying to keep people alive and in good shape. But when they won't accept Him, when they reject Him Who keeps them alive, he is caught in a great big quandary: give the people what they need (even though they are ignorant about what they need), or give them what they are asking for... to be separate from God (even though they often don't know the ways they are asking this).

I mean, if your son or daughter asks for the keys to the car, but then despises you, calls you bad, doesn't obey you, treats you mean, talks bad about you to others, makes friends with your worst enemy, etc., how much of it do you take? God takes it all, but finally lets people go like they are asking. Since they can't live without Him, they die... often in great torment, because they push themselves away from His saving hand.

Cool
So it's my fault if I don't have enough toilet paper or am one of the unlucky ones who eventually die from Covid? LOL. It appears that you need to read the whole book of Job again before you spout off this nonsense. Furthermore, you need to reread the parable of the protocol son. Seems like the protocol son got the royal treatment and Job had to go through all sorts of trials and tribulations before eventually being rewarded for his loyalty. I am assuming that you are Christian. Time for you to brush up. It would be a shame for an agnostic to destroy your arguments using your own material.
34  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 28, 2020, 03:40:25 PM
Well, at least plumbers have job security and I would suspect are doing brisk business with all of the replacements people are using to wipe their ass. Only problem is that I am sure plumbers would have difficulty obtaining PPE.

Thanks,the only way to hurt and stop these people is financially,and these flags and 30 day ban will certainly do

Well, this guy was just plain stupid. Let's hope he doesn't learn any lessons to become an even better scammer. Getting him banned was easier than shooting fish in a barrel.

There isn't any feature to report a personal text on the forum to be a threat and I don't think it should be reportable as it is a users personal advertising space.

I don't even think it is that serious of an threat though, rather just an move out of spite.

So you think people should be allowed to post content that is not allowed in a post or a pm to be displayed in their personal text and signature space? Also, when it comes to advocating  to "K*ll" someone, don't we need to draw a line somewhere? I really think at least a temporary ban is in order here.

I went ahead and sent a PM to theymos on this matter, to see if he can weigh in.

Edit: Banned for 30 days. Locking the thread.
37  Economy / Reputation / Re: How to report death threat made via the personal text? on: March 21, 2020, 06:18:27 PM
You can report the PM to a moderator, the link to do so is in the same location as just like any other post.  Report the PM, if the responsible moderator agrees it's a legitimate threat, the account will be banned.

It's not a PM. It's the personal text. The one that usually goes under someone's avatar.



I would really prefer not to post the above image. However, I guess I need to clarify what I'm talking about.

38  Economy / Reputation / Re: How to report death threat made via the personal text on: March 21, 2020, 05:52:40 PM
Hmm...
In my opinion, maybe the best way is make the thread in reputation board, explaining what he does to you and give the proof from his death threat PM (maybe screenshot)

Not sure its true or not Smiley

My links gives the proof. It's in his personal text on his profile. Not a post or personal message. Also, the threat is not directed at me, but other users. Moving thread to reputation board.

Hello, what is the best way to report a user who has made a death threat via their personal text?
User:bittafficma
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2706235
http://archive.vn/Gr6Sd

I have already reported it by just doing report to moderator function on one of their posts and tried to explain. However, the threat is not contained in a post.

40  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Coins777 SCAMM,WONT PAY OR GIVE BACK DEPOSIT on: March 21, 2020, 05:06:20 PM
And btw,telling people to KILL ME on your profile,won't help you,brother.

Reported to the moderators. Will see if this user now gets banned. Death threats are against the rules. I archived his profile just in case he decides to retract it.

Edit: Banned for 30 days and the offending message has been deleted.
