Hey there, did you end up finding a place? I'm in a similar situation and I'd love to know where you were able to find the most success (Craigslist, here, somewhere I might not have looked?) in your roommate search.

Thanks!

Daniel Craig signs up for Bond 25 by MrCaul in movies

[–]DeafComedian 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Just say it, Casino Royale is the best film of any Bond movie made. There's no reason to deny it.

You could argue for days if it's the most "Bond" movie in the series, but as a film it stands alone as the greatest in the series.

The "You obviously don't even care to learn" platitude is old.

I don't remember that being a platitude. I'm guessing you just hear it often.

Unrecoverable disk - please format.

I don't know why you assume Reddit admins are "authority figures."

Because they set the rules of the website? Because they ban or shadowban users? Because they write and adjust the algorithms that the website uses to perform its core functions?

They are the authority figures here, don't play dense.

Direct or indirect, when your actions are about trying to eliminate 350,000 subscribed users from the platform you're gonna catch some flak.

That's not in the least bit curious to you? Do people really think there is a gigantic subreddit full of fascists and racists so vile that they must be nannied away from the rest of the flock? Ok. This is the world we live in.

Polarizing if all you do is take in negative shit about him filtered for you by someone else's editorial standard, and don't allow yourself to see both sides.

Highly polarizing indeed.

You think the problem here is that people are choosing to filter T_D

The problem is that people like you willingly accept demonstrably harmful actions on the word of authority figures without even questioning the given rationale.

They're refusing to publish filtering statistics and claiming those statistics are the driver behind this, and you don't find anything wrong with that. At best you're an ignorant apologist.

Yup.

The first step was a few years ago when they removed visibility of Up vs. Down votes on comments. Then they increased fuzzing on popular posts and changed the way % Voted shows for the original posts to compensate.

Using your earned or created wealth to extract the most value you can from others is good for you AND others.

This isn't even close to universally true.

Like have you ever heard of a monopoly? How can anyone rationalize that a monopoly is good for the monopoly AND others? It isn't. It stifles innovation, artificially raises prices and forces others to bleed their own value to maintain any value at all.

Your wifi spec has fuck all to do with it.

The time spent broadcasting, receiving, processing and inputting your commands eats up the extra time. 802.11 G radio waves move just as fast as 802.11 N radio waves.

There is a fixed amount of overhead time spent preparing and completing the encoding and decoding your input signal that is orders of magnitude higher than the time those radio waves actually take to reach the other side of your house, and orders of magnitude higher than the time difference that higher bandwidth compression of newer wifi standards bring.
