I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone has ever said that Covid is smart...
I imagine someone around here can have a debate with you on the topic, after taking five minutes to read a wikipedia summary page on viral evolution....
Such an expert may already be working on it though?!
if your point can be effectively refuted after spending 5 min on a subject...then it wasn't a very good point.
I imagine though, it's time we mention something more your speed. What are your thoughts on Smart Bricks : http://kitebricks.com/ ?
Kinda think lego missed out on a pretty big opportunity to expand into non-plastic construction.
I'd try linking this thread to our IT people with a 'see what I have to put up with' to get it unblocked, but I don't think it's a request that will find fertile ground. Or me still employedDiscord is so much better.
the bar isn't very high for being better than these forums. most of powerplay and any player faction organization was done on reddit ... and reddit isn't great either, but still seen as better than here.

Hilariously facebook isn't locked out on ours, but I'd have to be insane to use it whilst logged in from work. Or at any time actuallyI remember it all kicking off at the BT call centre I worked at years ago when they blocked FB and Bebo (remember that?). Took less than half a day for them to reverse that decision.
That seems to be based on poor data. I'm not on social media platforms (the web2.0+ variety anyway - since forums could be considered a kind of social media)... and they're widely renowned for their roles in eroding society and facilitating various governmental agendas and platforms for misinformation and hate. Even discord has been used to SWAT people among other things.Any social media platform is made better by your absence. Discord just happened to be on my mind at that moment in time.

I'd say the evidence seems to be that since this forum has not been a significant contributing factor to such objectively bad things ...that my presence makes social media platforms better as opposed to my absence.
But the similarities are striking. Social media erodes society and a conversation with you erodes peoples will to live.That seems to be based on poor data.
