Oh wow I almost got baited despite the title of the thread. Nj.

Day xx. I no longer feel the presence of the tube. It has become a part of me. No longer am I woken in the night, nor do I crip my walk. I can now only imagine the pain of us parting, and the deep hole that it's departure will inevitably leave me. Rest well fuwa.

What a tool, am I right bro? (jk)

...Hence the emphasis on moderation

https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/4ny59k/lets_talk_about_orlando/d47ywef This kind of thing makes me think that they have no interest in fixing the deeper issue or punishing anyone in any way. They're unwilling to be open about the facts. The data is out there. They have it, but they're not sharing it. The why is obvious. The fact that it's easier to blame a program rather than themselves is apparent. Why aren't they explaining themselves with more detail? It's so incriminating. If you take the time to read that comment and the one after it, it's pretty disgusting. Reddit as a whole has taken a stance supporting the mods, rather than the people unhappy with the censorship.

I agree with you for the most part. It seems like they want it to blow over and have us blame a robot. I have no faith in them, from what I have seen. There were some downright absurd deleted comments. One of them was a guy asking for information about named victims because he knew a guy who may have been hurt. I don't understand how a mod can delete a comment like that. I'll post some pictures when I get home.

The issue is that comments that should not have been deleted were deleted. This is not under debate. Of course hate speech was deleted. Is it even okay to mess that way up on such an important matter? Some "mistakes" are just unacceptable.

Apparently in reaction to the r/news thread about the Orlando shooting, a massive number of posts were deleted (someone said 17,000), many of these for absolutely no good reason. I believe they blamed a suddenly-malfunctioning robot for most of it. People are really up in arms from what I can tell (posts with thousands of upvotes are being removed frequently), and nobody has admitted guilt at all. Instead, an unnamed mod is now "no longer a part of the team," and has avoided any actual punishment by making a new account, from what I can tell. From what I have read, it seems that almost no efforts have been made to fix the problem from the source, and furthermore that the mod pool on these big reddit subs are protecting themselves over the quality of the sub. Their position was something along the lines of 'We investigated ourselves and found that we have no real issues except for this one guy'. As one comment noted, this is a big deal. This is not something you can just mess up on. "oops, well gosh we shouldn't have done that so obviously." SO anyway, I don't really know much about reddit and wouldn't like to spread misinformation. Rather, I'd like to see some discussion about this and see what people think. Also if I'm wrong about this thing or that please correct me. If people care at all. Censorship is bad and it seems very clear that r/news has an agenda to promote. Also I learned about a site called unreddit. That was interesting. https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/4ny59k/lets_talk_about_orlando/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/06/13/redditors-checked-rnews-for-updates-on-the-orlando-shooting-instead-they-found-a-war/

Watched it when I was immobile after my appendix ruptured. It's a fun watch, but definitely not what I would call 'good'. Imho. As for asymmetric arthritis, I've heard it's extremely rare. At least I know my (thankfully) benign case is like, one in five million. I believe it was something like that. I'm looking forward to reading some great manga soon. I need to read more! And watch more anime and read more vns. And then buy it bwahahahaha

Real talk tho ^

I have a weird case of asymmetric arthritis

Always wanted to play that

Kenshin, bro, go run until things become clear or it feels like they don't matter anymore. That's my best advice u.u I've become much more aggressive recently. Almost... Normally so

Cute art. I've been burned many times before with yuri. It seems to be a trend in the vns I've read that if it's yuri, throw out all the common sense and decent storytelling. At least in the few that I've read. Surprise release is kind of nice, though, I guess. Right?

Can confirm Dune is amazing and has a fairly vast scope

I thought I should at least read the first. You don't think so?

Trying to work up the heart to start The Wheel of Time

Nerd My friends sometimes bug me about playing wow with them, but I just don't care for games like that. And I don't want to get sucked in if I end up liking it. Such a passive form of enjoyment.

You'll have to tell me how you did this later, in detail

@flut and fred: That sounds exciting! I love doing stuff like that! Minus bleeding out and causing actual damage... Anyway. I decided to pick up the broken pieces and try to find passion again. Putting together the puzzle once more.

Well... I could tell you about something one-sided that resembled love, but nothing really inspiring... How come? Edit: lol, fred. That conclusion.

I'd try to talk to her more casually, without asking a lot from her. At least you can maintain contact until she's ready to put some effort into you.

I don't get it, but that's okay. It seems to have some kind of weird following around here...

Isn't 5 options a little restricting though?
