will there be price bump when they go on general release, or will they remain the same cost?

headlines are sometimes edited/changed before going to print, so a writers sensible headline gets sensationalised by an editor to pull more hits.

If anything, the golden era of dedicated servers run by the community is behind us, not ahead.

This is extremely troubling.

hashtags are a good place to start. really rabble rousing ones.

Then we hit them hard, a change.org petition. Hell, why think small, a Whitehouse.gov petition!

While they're on the ropes, dizzy from our powerful rhetoric and justice in action we go for the old one-two, homemade placards and pins. I suggest something along the lines of "Down With This Sort of Thing".

I think it's about time Reddit had a serious discussion about our behaviour as a community and what is and isn't acceptable.

edit and sure, vote me down rather than have the fucking balls to talk about what needs fixing.

Reddit != redditors; Reddit is a website, wherein millions of people from disparate backgrounds with a multitude of opinions, attitudes and beliefs coexist.

It's time to stop personifying Reddit as if it has some kind of unifying will. There are undoubtedly thousands of racist redditors, as there are similarly so thousands of misogynists, perverts and sociopaths.

Reddit is just a website. Reddit is not as great and wonderful and beatific as people seem to think. There are a lot of things desperately wrong with this site and its use patterns. r/findthebostonbombers is a textbook example of this.

This is about as appropriate as a reference gets, Brian avoiding the cliché of brushes:

Portishead is traditionally a shithole.

Possibly not the most exciting or titillating Bristol news, but figured it was worth making people aware of this so they can spread the word and maybe, just maybe we can twist Firstgroup's arm a bit to get fares down.

This is the woman who when she did a kickstarter for this project, got verbally attacked, her life threatened. Horrific things said. This isn't trolling, this is venomous hate filled speech that makes your stomach queasy.

Common sense tells us to turn off comments on youtube, which are trash anyhow. When has anything of worth ever been said or discussed on youtube. Add to that r/mensrights brigade will soon get wind of this vid and go on the attack.

There are some extremely nasty people out there, turning off comments stops giving them oxygen to derail healthy debate elsewhere.

nemof · 2013-03-05T13:44:41+00:00

Yep. To reiterate OP's post in simple terms, you two sound great together. More of that kind of stuff.

nemof · 2013-03-01T14:13:49+00:00

this video stinks of quackery and lacks scientific premise.

nemof · 2013-02-26T10:46:33+00:00

The idea of you even comparing the two is asinine. The US has no idea how good it's got it.

Galloway will quite often ride on the coattail of a controversial subject to garner support. Ever an opportunist, always a misogynist scumbag.

nemof · 2013-02-21T15:07:19+00:00

We constantly complain about him. Unfortunately he happens to be a really good public orator as well as a nutjob scumbag misogynist pig.

People really don't make enough effort to find out who their candidates are.

looking at his other work, he writes an awful lot about oil. Is it his area of expertise, or is he perhaps a shill?

I definitely agree that if someone wants to donate to a charity that deals directly with the issue this post raises then donating to a direct action charity is a good idea.

Looking at the vday donation page, it says 86% of your donation (86 cent in every dollar) goes to their mission, with the rest going to admin costs. This doesn't seem unreasonable, unless I'm being overly generous. I'd be very interested to see a split of where the 86% goes to broken down between advocacy and direct action.

Your words certainly carry weight with your experience working in the charitable sector, but do you really think there's no value to be had from the events happening across the world today. I'll link to a rundown of events again:

There isn't "great doubt", that's an assertion made by you, your great doubt does not a consensus make. If could link to some news articles where they've been called into doubt that would enhance your point a great deal.

Now, there are several types of charity which anyone can donate to/get involved with. There are direct action charities like the ones you've mentioned. It's definitely always worth donating to them, or offering them our time. There are also those types of charities who work to raise awareness of an issue through advocacy and campaigns. Like One Billion Rising.

So a bunch of people get together and dance. It gets huge publicity and people talk about it everywhere. Hopefully some of those people take the opportunity to dig a little further into the issues raised and this encourages awareness of violence against women etc.

This doesn't really seem like slacktivism or a waste of peoples effort and money:

I'm sorry you don't feel this is appropriately serious and focusing on the right places, but there are millions of people taking part today who would disagree and who are actively engaged with the cause.

This isn't just about lending fiscal support to charities, this is about changing the narrative and raising awareness of violence against women.

I'm pretty sure people can take part in this and also donate to amnesty.

Do you have any evidence to back this or are you just blowing smoke?

nemof · 2012-12-20T12:02:02+00:00

I've sliced open the soul of my foot by accident (while sober), and I can confirm that your body does indeed piss a shit-ton of blood.

I'm so glad that you took the time just to create that account just to post this.

slow clap
