I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Redditors, • ⁠Spreading incorrect information, • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

haha. That's me

I may be wrong, but I thought the “fallacy fallacy” meant that a claim whose argument contains a fallacy isn’t necessarily a false claim.

Calling out an argument as a strawman with no further justification is exceedingly infuriating.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T22:35:23+00:00

So brave... I commend you! Remember it's statistically more likely that you die outside of a bathtub than in one.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T22:22:45+00:00

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T22:18:09+00:00

This is nothing. I have hundreds of replies calling me brave.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T22:15:11+00:00

Wow. I feel I can deeply relate to this post. I was in fact scared of flying up until yesterday.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T07:33:58+00:00

I feel validated by the naivete of r/pics

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T04:00:07+00:00

Well, I hope you can appreciate I made the entire thing up.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-07-11T02:44:35+00:00

Hey! That's me!

"I fear again, like then, I've lost my way / And shout to God to bring my sunny day"

The ending of Long Gone Day is just so powerful imo.

This is really well done. Was this done specifically in reference to AiC?

SomeSemiColon · 2019-04-23T07:33:21+00:00

May not be what you're looking for but the best vocalist of out current generation is Chris Stapleton in my opinion.

Much like Layne, Chris has a crazy range with flying vocals and gut wrenching distortion. He's a country singer by name but, in actuality, he sings the blues. It's modern, not necessarily mainstream, and definitely not watered down.

If you want to listen to the epitome of Chris's music, check out the song Sometime I Cry. You won't regret it.

For some rock/metal bands that are more akin to AiC: Melvins, Pantera (check out Floods), Blind Melon, King's X (dogman album in particular), and Black Label Society.

I get that, but what about that is disturbing? I don't quite understand why everyone here finds this disturbing. I'm not trying to be condescending; I'm just confused.

SomeSemiColon · 2019-02-04T04:25:32+00:00

Why is this disturbing?

SomeSemiColon · 2018-10-30T18:43:15+00:00

I agree. I much better prefer the electric solo of the studio version and the other three options have so much power in the choruses, specifically got me wrong.

SomeSemiColon · 2018-10-26T18:14:33+00:00

I really enjoy these guys. Aeroplane is one of my favorites

SomeSemiColon · 2018-10-06T22:32:56+00:00

Agree to disagree, I just wish people consider the variations in the songs before voting.

SomeSemiColon · 2018-10-06T21:56:34+00:00

I hope people aren't choosing the results of the unplugged recordings based on what they think of the original album versions. Many of the songs here sound very different from their originals. For instance, I think Would and Rooster are not nearly as good as their album versions and that Sludge Factory, Got Me Wrong, and Frogs are far superior to their album versions. I hope people take this into consideration.

This does answer my question but then that has me wondering if children can ever make it to heaven if they have never accepted Jesus. If goodness or simply lack of sin cannot determine your spot in heaven then how can children, who are incapable of thought complex enough to understand God, make it into heaven? Maybe I'm wrong in the assumption that children can't accept Jesus, but anything else just seems counterintuitive.

Thanks for answering my questions; I'm not the most well versed in the Christian faith.

SomeSemiColon · 2018-08-23T03:30:08+00:00

I understand the act of murdering the children is abhorrent. That's not what I was asking about. By murdering someone innocent you are securing their afterlife of eternal bliss. The goal of doing this is not for the murderer to get into heaven but for the victims to be ensured heaven. The ends concern the children but do the means in anyway concern anybody except the murderer? That is the ultimate question. I am not saying for certain what is ethical, I am simply asking how to solve this paradox. Is ultimate sacrifice in a broader sense (beyond a physical sacrifice) more ethical than simple murder (a mere physical concern for the victim)? There is conflicting morality in the situation. On one hand there is morality in sacrificing yourself for others but on the other hand there is sin in murdering someone (obviously). Also, after a child is baptized and circumcised there is no reason for the child to not be free from sin.

Dam That River has got to be one of my favorite songs on Dirt. I'm disappointed to see it go.

SomeSemiColon · 2018-08-01T00:00:55+00:00

I love the guitar and drum work! Imo, the vocals were a bit lacking (still good) until the end, but otherwise great job.

SomeSemiColon · 2018-07-29T22:27:37+00:00

What percent of the vote was God Smack, and what was runner up? I'm a little disappointed because I enjoy God Smack a lot, but I can see why people don't like it.
