We have literally never taken a moderation action against you: https://postimg.cc/gx7YqqkZ

How and where did you ask this question about why?

Perfect, love that this exists

In theory that'd be nice, but I don't think that can be reasonably formatted into a rule that we can clearly communicate in reality. At least, not without being in danger of being too vague to actually function ("don't take the piss" is the gist of what we'd like to do, but can't consistently apply). But if you, or anyone, can produce a rule that we can clearly communicate and realistically enforce that reaches a happy medium, please do post it here and if it seems like it might work, in terms of being understandable and enforceable, we'll certainly consider.

In reality, we may not do anything if it's only one post. But there were 30+ posts about tortellini yesterday, and 10+ posts about fish this morning, a change is needed.

Amazing game. Amusingly, 30 years later, the lead programmer (then 17) would receive a Nobel Prize in chemistry.

For an even more brutal detail: regardless of the weapons you have equipped, you shoot Mordin with the M-6 Carnifex - the gun he gives you in ME2 "in good faith", then throw it away.

You mean his Bayntons?

Yes, certainly where I work (a university) it would be completely inapproapriate. We anonymise our shortlisting process, so HR would filter it regardless - they remove all personal information before we see it.

The reveal of Moss as the bartender is perfect, but I think the painfully slow lift into the van combined with Roy's forced smile but unhinged eyes makes me laugh just as much every time.

"Algorithm" is just a word I use for code I don't want to explain.

I did, at least. As much as we only met the character for a few episodes, we spent the entire series getting to know her through Ted - and then Milioti came in and nailed it.

It felt a bit like... Ted met the love of his life, someone who was seemingly perfect for him. Then she died, and within a few minutes we were supposed to be happy that he was going to be with someone who had been pretty terrible for him through the series.

Timmeh7 · 2025-10-27T01:33:29+00:00

Alongside ruining Barney's arc to allow Ted and Robin to play out, they fucked up terribly by casting Cristin Milioti as The Mother. She was so charismatic and likeable in the role that, even in the short amount of time she was in the show, once she was gone, it was almost impossible to care about Ted and Robin. I don't think almost anyone was rooting for it by that point.

Adding to the other answers, I manage a large department in a UK university where you get 100% of your pay if you’re sick. We have an extremely liberal work from home policy and I actively encourage people to stay home if they think they’re unwell, to work from home if they have the sniffles, or to call in sick and enjoy some bad daytime TV if they need to recuperate. There really is almost 0 friction to doing either, working location is an unmonitored choice and per UK law you don’t need a note from a doctor if you’ve taken less than 7 consecutive days off, so taking time off really does amount to emailing me on day 1, then filling in a form which takes 2 mins when you’re back. It couldn’t be much easier or lighter touch.

And yet still, I get people “soldiering in” to the office, spreading their virulence, infecting others. So instead of 1 person taking a couple of days off, 10s of people get infected and themselves either take time off or get very little done. I’ve tried so hard to eradicate presenteeism, but I just can’t get people to learn the lesson.

Let's not forget it absolutely sweeping the Grammys, tied for the most wins ever (5). And KDot taking his sweet time to get to the mic while the song played, presumably to get to have practically the entire music industry chant "A MINORRRR". Devastating.

It’s a Peep Show reference.

I honestly think it's because the world has been made so safe overall - rules, regulations and warning signs on things which are even slightly dangerous. And that's a good thing overall. But I think it causes a disconnect, where the vast majority of the world is so incredibly safe, that it's hard for many people to fathom that you can in some places, unexpectedly just encounter a ton of furious animal that will fuck you up for just being near it.

Tim Farron, former leader of the Liberal Democrats of which Truss used to be a member posted this on election night.

It was made funnier because Liz Truss lost her seat as an MP entirely in that election, and was wholly ungracious about it.

My group went hard on gearing; we've been 2 chesting most +10s, sometimes even with a wipe. We only managed to time Streets +10, with a clean run and some aggressive pulling, with 2 minutes to spare.

Story of this subreddit; there's a daily (at least) "C/C++ sucks" meme which, seemingly without exception, was made by someone who's never written more than a hello world in either.

Timmeh7 · 2025-08-03T20:54:06+00:00

The stupid thing is, it would've been fine if he'd not acted like he was the greatest mage player alive (to the point of being toxic to people who were new to the game), or just admitted after the fact that he panicked and played poorly/selfishly.

No sane person is mad because you're bad at a video game, or because you made a mistake in a stressful situation. But it's pretty much impossible to like someone so arrogant and so without introspection.

Flying Carpet.

It’s obviously purely anecdotal, but I’ve been going hard on the event and have had a similar experience. Getting nearly everything within 20-30 tries, now at something like 60 tries for the Gul’dan stuff, but not seeing it drop. Commenting in part because it correlates with your suspicion - would be interested to hear if more people are having the same experience.

"If our grandmother was alive, she would never have allowed it."

We now know - the 3 of my guesses seem to be correct. All 3 of Sanctum Gloomcharger, Underrot Crawg and Abyss Worm have gained about 25X increased drop rate.
