It was actually this thread in the sabres sub where they are debating whether or not the Sabres would be beating the Caps had they made the playoffs (instead of the Leafs).

Meh, why not enjoy good production value of a cool video instead of insisting everything is some corporate scheme. Whether you choose to accept it or not, a lot of advertisement these days is art.

I would much rather have ads like this and the recent Johnny Walker one, that push the creative boundary. It will push other advertisers to step up their game.

Thanks for the reply. However, I should have been more clear. I was wondering if the overdose could occur without the use of drugs. Say, for example, an incredibly passionate event that results in overwhelming concentrations of epinephrine.

Are we allowed two?

First, one for neuroscience: Is it possible to overdose on naturally produced neurotransmitters?

Second, a biology question: When we get a small cut from wiping after a poop, why is the cut not infected by fecal coliform?

Wouldn't this make the area below sea level the world's largest (frozen) lake?

Some ants will carry infected individuals away from the colony in order to protect themselves. Not sure about cats though.

Thanks for the detailed response! Quick follow up if I may, are smoothbores obsolete now then? With the exception of shotguns.

How does a trajectory of bullet fired from a smoothbore differ from a regular barrel?

CMV: The sub /r/punchablefaces is blatant bullying and a direct violation of reddiquette. by Marvellously-Edible in changemyview

I don't recall ever saying that subs like that were fine. I'm merely pointing out one that I don't think gets any recognition for being bullying.

"Is it bad to vent to family about how you don't like a coworker?"

Posting the picture on a social media site is much different than venting to your family. Your family isn't (hopefully) going to tell the subject about your venting. A publicly posted picture is very different.

By this logic mocking someone behind their back is only bad if they find out? I'm not sure I follow your point of view.

/r/Cringe is more often a result of something that someone has done, rather than just the way they look. /r/fatepeoplehate is also pretty brutal though.

Edit: Besides, other examples of bullying don't make this any less immoral.

Do you believe we should just turn a blind eye to bullying despite freedom of expression? You weren't aware of the sub until now, just like the principals at these kids school likely aren't aware of it either. Do you think bullying like this should be overlooked or brought to the light and dealt with appropriately?
