The main argument against drinking/drugs is that it's too good
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

Even if that were true for me I feel like I'd still drink because alcoholic drinks are delicious.

Sugar basically makes me feel like shit but I still go for it every time because it's delicious.

Oh yeah, I could imagine this being the case for someone. To me they also taste bad so it's lose/lose/lose

I see. Honestly nowadays 95% of my drinking is just for the taste, I don't really drink multiple drinks at all unless it's a social situation. Like, say, we're playing Jackbox.

i'm definitely happy to play either of those. i feel like i kind of know what i'm doing in hots now, so if Juri and Rylinks are around then it would be fun to try it again and see if we are collectively less of a disaster

SoT is on the game pass, i thought

I'm more interested in Sea of Thieves than HoTS for what it's worth.

I'm going to be playing killing floor with Benzo and Cab again because we're now obsessed with this but when you guys start playing I can switch over cause you guys start a lot later.

the part where i still have to go to the grocery store anyway / people are still getting takeout food / you can still get packages from amazon / people who were already living with each other are still living with each other, but somehow the marginal risk of going to see anyone IRL is totally unacceptable

and i don't mean this post like "i am confident that what i am doing is right, fuck you!", just like, that is my thought process. i've been holed up in my room for three weeks going nowhere (except the grocery store) and i can't go see them? probably there is still some marginal risk that i have it and give it to them because i have roommates / the grocery store, or that they (or my brother) has it and gives it to me etc and its one of those irrational things where the EV says "don't do it" and my dumb lizard brain is like "meh, unlikely things don't actually happen, plus i'm immortal" and then i do it anyway

you go to the grocery store and never come within 2m of anyone (aside from briefly entering the cashier's bubble as you go from one end to the other) and sanitize your hands etc before entering. and amazon packages are left at your door with nobody ever coming within 2m of you, same with whichever takeaways are still open. you're also generally dealing with younger, healthier, lower risk people involved in these transactions vs your parents who I assume are pushing 60? the act of going to your parent's house is also creating unnecessary travel in and of itself which has various minor risks involved.

I'm not saying this because I think you're a bad person from all this or anything, it's as much that I'm surprised "going to visit my parents" is still a thing? full disclosure, if our daily walk takes us near my parents' i will go past the fence and chat across the garden, which is partially because socially distant interaction with them keeps on their good side which is useful selfishly (my dad has both a car and an NHS ID so he can get supplies that I can't) and selflessly (I really don't want them getting fed up and deciding to just visit me, you know). i feel like that's distinct from what is implied by "going to visit my parents", but it's very much a case of balancing the realistic minimum

I don't think it's a personal EV calculation and that's kind of the problem

Each outing is fine EV. The problem is everyone doing fine EV things for themselves is bad EV for everyone

It's like, if we all isolate totally for two weeks, this thing is gone. Okay well we live with other people and aren't going to isolate from those we live with, so how about 3 weeks. Okay well we need groceries and prescriptions and some doctor visits and that means some people need to work so how about 4 weeks. Okay well we're feeling really cramped up and need to go visit family a little and order some takeout food every once in while so how about 5 weeks

We still have exponential growth which means if you spread the disease to one person, you contribute to, I don't know, thousands getting it? The first guy who ate a pangolin or whatever was probably not doing an EV calculation of maybe tens of thousands of people die

FWIW I haven't been perfect myself and am not judgin', just sharing how I'm thinking about it
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

When you go to see someone IRL you generally spend a lot more time close to them than the time you spend with a cashier. The risk is a lot greater.
