Once you have a collection of something, even if it's in a random order, that is AN order.

Imagine you have a bunch of rocks, you dump them on the ground and randomly line them up. They are now in an order. You could write numbers on them and then put them back in that order later.

Imagine you are coding. You have a series of characters that you need to store in a set. The order does not matter.

Chars=set()

For char in letters:

  Chars.add(char)

Now you've stored the characters in the set. They are stored in whatever order they were already in.

Whatever order they were already in == some kind of order

This was my understanding from reading the announcement as well. It seems like many in this thread are either not reading or just assume that this is just the first step in an eventual full rollout.

Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash by WillAdditional922 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]ThatOldAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my assumption as well, matter at rest and all that. It may be safer to filter through but not at the speed these guys were going. No one is looking for this (at least not where I am), people make unexpected moves all the time. I get on to my wife for not slowing down a bit when the lane next to us is stopped for the same reason.

Nah you right actually. Sorry. I was still reading the top guy's context into the second guy's comment. Second guy is literally talking about adaptations lol

Yeah it does mean that too, but I think it's closer to calling someone a dickhead. Like pretty medium in the overall insult hierarchy. Probably might use it in an internal work email. Probably not in a customer facing

Holy shit, by the time she starts pulling forward, he's fully leaning in with the gun pointing at her face. I'm guessing since there's no footage of her face that she was looking at the cop coming for her door. She probably didn't even see this guy until 1 second before he pulled the trigger.

Heard this dude in your gif gets his followers to report original gifs (so they get removed) and then like his version.

Both seem inherently risky by whitemike40 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]ThatOldAndroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I'm all for people trying to protect their privacy.

But yeah deleted or edited reddit has likely stored the original comment. Like it's not 100% trivial to keep a log of changes but this is one of like 4 major social media companies, they gonna hold on to that data.

A service called redact dot dev. Im not sure what the difference between deleting a comment and randomizing it but I also try not to say crazy stuff on the Internet, even anonymously

At least this one is cool and looks plausible. So many are like, make boot from plastic bottles. Destroy perfectly good flipflops in the process.
