• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

Got annoyed with increased restrictions here in Poland, about a virus that's just about as deadly as the fucking flu of all things.

If you don't wear a mask in public here now, you risk getting a big fine.

So, I bought a gas mask and started wearing it everywhere.

So help me God, if I'm forced to wear a mask like an idiot, I'm going to wear it like the biggest goddamn idiot around.

Based on prior behaviour, I am upgrading ATP's threadban to one month. Let it be said for the final time:

No. Conspiracy. Theories.

Random fearmongering such as he posted with zero substantiation will be taken as such. The next offender will be permanently removed from this thread. There will be no more warnings.

So with the Coronavirus still going on And Halloween Coming up does anyone know if trick-or-treaters will be Allowed?
 
The best part of Halloween Is after Halloween When all the candy goes on discount because there's so much extra left:D
 
I watched from the front window of my house several times in a matter of a month of people in funeral attire going back and forth from the local cemetery. I have... a lot of mixed feelings when the younger kids point at them and ask me what are they doing, and why do they look sad. As an adult, how do you explain this topic to clueless children who are not ready for the proper and comprehensive scientific explanation yet?

Found a couple of websites that talk about it-
https://crhcf.org/insights/how-to-explain-death-to-children/

https://childdevelopmentinfo.com/how-to-be-a-parent/communication/talk-to-kids-death/#gs.igs0hz
-and there's a load more you can easily look up. But I've never done it myself so I can't speak to the reliability of any of the advice. If you're not the parent you should probably discuss with them, but if you are- good luck?
 
Ah, unfortunately many of us have to earn a fucking living and can't live in a vault forever.
 
One person in my household has already lost her job because of this, and it has caused severe downsizing in the lifestyle of our already economically battered family.

We live in a Third World country, to boot.

The fact our public 'services' cut the water supply AT LEAST two days every week doesn't help dealing with the virus, either.
 
I've lost two of the people I most admired from my circle of friends since this started -- the most recent of them on Tuesday (although I didn't find out until Wednesday). I wasn't and won't be able to attend either funeral thanks to this fucking virus.

That is, of course, ignoring my related personal difficulties and health issues. Ugh.
