It's Happening. -

[L50LasPak]

My only request is that there should be a link and a source in every OP. I don't need the full text since I can follow those and read the article myself, I just like to know where it came from first. Should be second nature to everyone by now so its probably not an issue.

What are the wildest conspiracy theories right now? Is there some website somebody can link where somebody wrote in yellow on black font how this virus was introduced by the reptilians? I heard the bioweapons lab one but it's kinda boring. My conspiracy theory is that null engineered the virus to drive traffic to this thread. Prove me wrong.

Go for it

BTW, could you move happenings up next to articles? It feels weird right between games and multimedia.

Looking forward to seeing successful OPs here with the content control; repeated good OPs in Happenings will be a sign of a great user. Someone who breaks the rules over and over is going to be a cow and laughs will ensue. Both are inevitable!

Pic for this forum should be a middle finger.

@Null is the magic highlighting thing not enabled on this board?

 

[Twinkie]

Make it two, for good measure.

I liked that the virus happened just a day after China said they were going to rewrite parts of biblical understanding, as if it were a direct retribution from god.

Israel said they were already "by luck" working on a vaccine to corona virusses prior to the outbreak in wuhan, so there's another fun angle.

But on topic, I think it's an interesting dissection of two forums. I thought the threat or happening of death was a stupid way to seperate them, but as I tried to come up with something better I couldn't, so while it may be stupid, I'm stupider.

The issue as I see it going forward will be that the happenings board should be dormant most of the time. But it won't be. It will develop itself like it's own ecosystem and due to low barrier of entry and high amount of sources (any ole tweet), it will go faster than Articles, be more muckraking. But it will allow better discussion and source sharing for those happenings like shootings and viruses that sometimes don't make sense to contain to one thread.

Thinking it through, I think it's a pretty good choice.

Here's a quick summary of the 5G stuff I made in the megathread a while back

Saw this the day that Tom Hanks announced that he was infected:

I'd request that there be a message above the reply box, like there is for other boards.

For instance, it can remind people to archive, as well as to NOT copy the entire article over.

gonna be honest here - I don't think this was necessary

megathreads worked pretty decently in A&H, and happenings surprisingly don't happen nearly as often as to warrant their own subforum

I think it comes down to personal opinion though, I think megathreads are awful, and stop people participating if they move too fast, and when the mods merge lots of little topics together it just becomes a homogeneous contextless mess, so I prefer it this way. I guess we'll see if it works or if it gets killed based on participation.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I agree, Corona-chan needs more threads. It helps that a few split-offs have occurred but perhaps more are needed.

Reminder that this is not a board to copy and paste articles in. Use archives. Use waybackmachine. Use screenshots. Anything other than posting the whole thing in a post. Please report posts doing this.

The forum song is perfect for driving through quarantined cities. I need to get a loudspeaker for my truck to autism directly to the people

I've had on and off excesses of mucus for a few weeks/months now. Almost certainly not corona, but it felt a bit worse today. Should not have hung out with friends on Thursday. It was supposed to be a hike but then it also turned into sitting in a car with her for an hour and then hanging out with her and her boy friend at their apartment for a few. She thought it was all a government conspiracy and was really touchy with everyone...

I had diarrhea the other day but no Corona yet.

Is drooling a lot a virus symptom? I feel mostly pretty normal (my only real throat problem is that it's always full of phlegm, but I've been that way ever since getting my wisdom teeth pulled months ago), but I feel like my mouth waters constantly now.

I like that we have a wild-eyed hypochrondria thread.

 

[Borax Bozo]

Anyone know the source of the guy ranting at about 2:25 in the header song, or what exactly he's saying?

 

[codeswhitchsperer]

I could separate it based solely on content aggregation versus longform discussion to allow discussions on the election in public. It's a really hard task for organization and I don't want to spread either board too thin.

It'd also suck to have to make everything in this board private.

Please note that some of us lurk here and use kiwi as a primary aggregator for news, happeningsfags have had to cope with lotts more white noise and the farms has become a core place some seek hard truths.

That's a result of you taking that firm stand on honesty too.
