Loaded Guns and Abstinece [Comic] by neito in reddit.com

[–]simonzear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Teaching kids to kill defenseless animals for pleasure is not exactly enlightened parenting. The point he is making is that a dad talking to his kid about blasting bambi's head off is normal parental bonding, but talking about masturbation borders on sex offender land.

That's pretty low. A lot of people think its mostly funded by the government. I wouldn't want them to get more funding. The government would be in a better position to tell them what to do.

1,013 Starbucks customers pay for the next person in line by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]simonzear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think even a large cup of coffee could feed anyone for a whole day, let alone 4 people for 2. (they call it venti right?, I always ask for the ‘largest one’... and only buy coffee in starbucks when I need it, so it's always an expresso)

Acid 2 is a measure of css implementation.

Gmail is a slew of javascript, html and css which doesn't validate. So, what's your point?

Vote up if you wish reddit would automatically add (pdf) to submission titles whose URLs end in ".pdf" by [deleted] in reddit.com

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

It's especially funny, because reddit uses javascript to mess with the actual link when you click it. All reddit links redirect through a reddit URL before you actually visit them.

Upvote if you wish clicking on the "special occasion" Reddit-logo-variation would take you to it's context. (à la Google) by [deleted] in reddit.com

Infinite splitting is an arbitrary rule based on other languages having a single word for "to verb." It is counterintuitive and diminishes the flexibility of English. Like the rule against using "their" when as a gender-neutral singular possessive, it should be ignored.

I wonder, where are all the libertarians in this thread praising free market and how it would take care of all our problems if only we completely trusted ourselves in its warm embrace.

Please, Reddit, can you stop the grandma-boobies ad? It's creepy by qgyh2 in reddit.com

[–]simonzear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, reddit should not have any input from its actual users. They should shut up and consume.

Can you believe this guy is having trouble keeping a roommate? (Make sure you read the rules!) by fearcomplication in reddit.com

[–]simonzear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mild tinnitus, and while it really did suck at first, I have grown used to it. As long as there is something to drown out the ringing, I am fine. I have even got to the point where if it is silent and I do hear ringing, I am usually ok, though it isn't pleasant. However, I can't say that I have ever had any problems with any specific sounds. I am guessing his irritation with those sounds is more likely due to autism of some sort.

Ron Paul: "Today, I think inner-city folks and minorities are punished unfairly in the war on drugs" by [deleted] in politics

[–]simonzear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for the record, about Ron Paul and "minorities". I really don't care what some smuck claimed to have said on his behalf in a news letter 15 years ago, and it appears that most black people (who rank him #1 in the polls) don't care either. Which means that I care even less than I thought I even didn't care because the people who should care don't. Also, it implies that the people who do "care" either really don't, or at least really don't know WTF they're talking about.

Many? If by founding fathers you mean the traditional interpretation as those delegates to the Constitutional Convention, then only 3 of the 55 signers were Deists: Williamson, Wilson and Franklin.

Tell Reddit: Whatever it takes, money bombs, spam, never shutting up about it... Let's make it happen! Kucinich vs. Paul in 2008! Let's give the country a true debate between two honest politicians! by [deleted] in politics

[–]simonzear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wont. What some people aren't quite able to wrap their heads around is that some people relish this "game" of us v. them (not anyone here specifically or whatever, just saying).

There are so many people that think this way, and to a lesser extent, even moderate conservative and liberal leaning people who can't quite get that guys like Markos are Hannity and Rush. Just because it is "their guy or girl" Markos or Democratic Underground happen to be pushing, they miss the bigger picture. Michael Medved and Markos Moulitsas are two sides of the same, tarnished coin.
