I got into it with friends last weekend when they were talking about Black Adam. I told them it’s 2025, they should just be calling him Adam.

In other news: Chetana has had her name changed to Cortana

You probably did something else that deserved the beating though, right?

I’ve heard much worse coping mechanisms.

There are a handful of considerations. Two that were important to me:

1. The instance host wasn’t likely to call it quits a few months in.

The best content on this platform often has less than 10 votes. The most? The sociopolitical headline mill communities.

If certain people feel that’s the good content, that’s their prerogative. I don’t.

I find a good amount of opinions in that post highly idealized and conceptual, but not really the end experience. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing the link.

I’d be more open to a voting system that rewards actual contribution. For example, a user is allotted (rewarded?) a certain number of votes for every post and every comment they make. The content creators and discussion participants drive the platform.

I’m sure a whole new set of problems would arise, but I feel it’d be a fresh experience, with less armchair warriors.

I think voting is completely unnecessary, and is a sort of “participation placebo” for the lazy but opinionated.

No, and I wish votes didn’t even exist here.

That is what is suggested by the idiom.

I don’t understand, I was able to downvote you just fine.

We need guillotines.

Humans aren’t born with very strong impulse control, it’s something that is typically learned over the years. I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much over childhood indiscretions, that from your accounts seem pretty harmless.

Thanks now I need one.

So my only option is to peddle my flesh for trade?
