If you do even some basic back of the napkin math on how many psykers are sacrificed to the God Emperor of Man each day compared to how many people there are in the imperium and figure out how many are born and die each day you'll end up with a very small percentage. It was actually a fun exercise to figure it out in my friend group.

It does also protect masked uninfected people from unmasked infected people. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7883189/ , especially section 4.

But it's "work to live" not just survive. You spend the rest of the time on living. Whether that's fishing, hunting, crocheting, watching football, playing games, or something else. Enough money to do what you want to.

The first rule of therapy club is that you talk about therapy club.

“well if I admit that circumcision of babies is wrong, that means there’s something wrong with my penis. And I don’t want there to be something wrong with my penis. Therefore I’m on the side of genital mutilation being ok.”

A true grammar Nazi would obviously know that it is a proper contraction. No true Scotsman and all that ;P

Holy hell, if some fairly rational person got such a book and did their research on who needs to be written down the world would probably look a lot different in a short amount of time.

With the amount of people who get manipulated with sales and other tactics I don't think we can argue that humanity is composed of rational economic actors. There are some rational economic actors, but the vast majority probably isn't acting rationally with regards to their economics. And that's okay, because humans aren't rational beings first and foremost. We're primarily emotional beings. We make most of our decisions based on emotions, then we may try to rationalize our choice.

It takes a lot of effort to be rational about things.

There's no definition of Europe at all in play here. It's the EU. A specific subset of countries, which is not the same as Europe. So what I wrote only goes one way. I'm not quite sure it's an argument, really. I presented the facts, and said that something with a maximum difference of 35% is very comparable. The first result I got through Google was the numbers I have given, which are also the official numbers from the European Union itself. That should be a lot more correct than other numbers you could find.

If you want to google it, make sure you use "EU population", not "Europe population". Or you can look at that link I gave, which gives data not just for the EU, but a lot of other European countries as well.

AFAIK you can have roles which have access to different parts of your server. Thus you can have that all newly joined accounts have a role where they only can see and interact with a channel for those waiting for acceptance. You can even make it “fill out a form in a thread” for why they want to join, and only after they’ve been accepted will they be given access to the rest of the server (or just some of it)
