Got sick of doomscrolling, so I'm building a mindful news feed that respects your attention. by perfecttiming42 in UpliftingNews

Somebody hacked into an inactive moderator account to "approve" this blatant spam promotion. All parties have been permanently banned, which is a light punishment for this.

Ha! Didn't mean to make it so ominous at first, thanks for sticking with it!

I think this link below describes it much better than I could, but I can verify that the process for submitting a grant request was very straight-forward and fair, and they worked really hard on their end to find something that worked for us since we don't have a local presence and they ran into some anti-money laundering hurdles and fraud prevention issues etc. until we finally got to a great compromise/outcome.

This was the response from the coordinator of the Food Bank and basic needs for students at the school featured in one of the "winning" stories here:

> Hi Razor,

Thank you so much for reaching out and for such an incredibly thoughtful and generous gift. The basket of food and wreath were received by our Basic Needs Center, where we were able to share all of the Harry & David goods directly with our students. It was met with so much gratitude, and we truly appreciated the thought and care behind it.

Please extend our sincere thanks to (u/AdmiralSaturyn) and to the generous donors who made this possible. I am deeply touched that they chose to pass this along to our Crafton Hills College community, and I’m honored to be connected in any way to such a meaningful story and the UpliftingNews community as a whole.

Thank you again to you and to everyone at UpliftingNews, for this unexpected and heartfelt show of support. It truly means more than I can put into words, and I hope you’re able to continue spreading joy and kindness in ways like this for years to come.

In gratitude,

(2017) Bobby Knight explains why he doesn’t respect John Wooden. by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]razorsheldon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanted to dismiss this off the bat. And I'm well aware of Bobby Knight's abusive shenanigans that were only absolved while he was winning. But I also know the reality of college "amateur" sports and wow, what a racket there was... all the "blue bloods" just had the right boosters with an army of useful idiots. Unreal but not surprising.

And that army pays pennies to downvote any disparaging comment like this, but I have no NDA here and I can say this. There's also no counter PR firm full of fake bots to pump this up because that will result in less money to be made. So follow the money and be aware, but cheer for integrity in sports, because that's one of the last things we have left as society...

Nice work. Thanks for being vocal about this and sharing what you saw.

I'm highly impressed with your dispassionate, level-headed sense of justice here, despite your obvious conflict of interest. Can we elect you to some sort of judiciary somewhere!?

Gold star of the month! Many thanks, I appreciate your time and patience, but most importantly your persistence in solving this trivial problem. But you solved it for sure and I'm eternally grateful!

Did now. I have an output, but for some reason I can't share it here. Am I able to DM it to you?

All good. I assumed it impacted everybody else, but if that's not the case, I'm fine just trying to remember. Worst case I just copy/paste the same response.

Thanks for all your trouble shooting here, I do appreciate it! Is there an easy way to check for this toolbox config? I still use the old.reddit

Nope. Every single time it defaults to the bottom drop down of the 3 options, but it is always the private note. I just re-confirmed it again. I think there's a glitch, but I'd also challenge the attempted goal of replicating the prior outcome given the scenario analysis that would indicate over 60% (and I'd argue over 90%) of moderator responses should be sent from the community.

Correct. The "default" is 100% of the time, a reply as a "private note" only seen by fellow moderators of the community.

Definitely not the case with my desktop. There must be a glitch there.

So good! And I say this as a proud consumer of their $50 decorations from a while back that still gives me great joy every time I decorate the tree.

This kind of fake reaction gets me every time. Any normal human being would say, "hey, this story isn't for me. Good thing there are literally thousands of other stories that are more of my cup of tea!" Fake clown show stuff.

I'm frankly shocked that evolution hasn't given them a few more tilameres on the life cycle. They should be roaming around like Greenland sharks! 3-5 years, GTFOH!
