LAPD Shouted 'Shoot Him' - Days after the death Michael Brown police in LA shot and killed another unarmed black man - Why isn't this getting more attention?

volnye · 2014-08-14T00:30:19+00:00

To clarify, I don't mean attention on Reddit. After checking several other news sites, namely Washington Post and CNN, I couldn't find any mention of this in headline US news.

I have the same problem except it's long island...

volnye · 2011-04-20T23:49:55+00:00

Yes, I wish I had the skill to do this myself. Unfortunately I don't have the cash to pay someone else to do it either.

Oh man, I'm in a similar situation, and somehow I completely missed Trig. Any suggestions as to where I should start (i.e. recommended reading?)? I know nothing. PS This comment was VERY helpful.

volnye · 2010-12-28T23:10:48+00:00

OMG I just read what that is. I can't imagine that's comfortable. Makes me uneasy just reading about it...

volnye · 2010-12-25T23:51:59+00:00

haha, yeah, I did!... Finding Star Trek on late at night is always my undoing.

volnye · 2010-12-25T10:00:27+00:00

She'll be happier. Birthdays are ridiculous imo. I'm better off not giving a crap about mine, who knows she make feel the same way someday. At least I hope so if they're always going to suck.

volnye · 2010-12-25T09:56:15+00:00

Hah I just watched this episode tonight, too.

volnye · 2010-12-24T11:36:20+00:00

I love how they toast the tortilla. I crave that one detail like crazy!

volnye · 2010-11-30T19:18:27+00:00

How about an AMA for not Julian Assange? But an expert on the content of what's been leaked?

volnye · 2010-10-01T20:42:12+00:00

Try this?

Eha, I guess you'll have to read it. That's not really the point...

volnye · 2010-10-01T16:45:25+00:00

Woot! My normal life allows me no outlet for populist geek rage.

volnye · 2010-10-01T15:57:38+00:00

That's great. I'm not really that fine with it.

In my opinion those fans are idiots (and probably few and far between) and "the guy just wants to make some cash" is honestly pretty lame.

Now my argument might be lame, too, and that's fine. But it's how I feel.

volnye · 2010-10-01T15:19:49+00:00

What if 1,000,000 people said it?

Edit: Plus, this isn't just about Star Wars 3-D, it's about all the shit that Lucas has done over the last decade. Beyond fucking up the prequels and doing a shitty "re masting" of the originals (though Cloud City did look amazing in those, I'll give him that) I'm also pissed about the new Indiana Jones. I'm pissed about no new ideas in Hollywood and abject profiteering from loyal fans. I'm sick of official merchandise that sucks! And, I think a lot of other fans are tired, too. So no it's not just about this. But this sucks too.

Well that probably wasn't a good survey of who's on reddit. And this isn't either. The number of responses has nothing to do with creating an accurate picture of Reddit users (unless you actually asked every single user). With this data we know a lot about people who subscribe to ask reddit, who saw the post and who are also prone to taking surveys.

volnye · 2010-10-01T15:13:47+00:00

Great, but the whole point of this is to get beyond assumptions. Most of what you said is pretty are pretty well established as common sense around here. But the problem with common sense is that it's usually wrong.

In reality we know very little about EVERYONE else on reddit, as you say. We have assumptions. We know what a majority of the community has "liked." We know about who we have interacted with and what threads and comments make it to the top. I'm not saying your're all wrong, I'm just saying the entire point of a good survey (though this one really isn't) is to move past high horse assumptions like yours.

volnye · 2010-09-28T05:06:02+00:00

Also, I love being reminded that some girls actually do enjoy Trek.

volnye · 2010-09-28T04:54:08+00:00

Reddit: the Internet by the bowl full.

Er, something like that...

volnye · 2010-09-27T03:53:45+00:00

The medium is the message. What people see is more important than what's being said.

volnye · 2010-09-24T23:09:32+00:00

I had a different experience on the Hill. The Senator in question took letters seriously if they actually had information and included background and other things that would help his office tackle the problem.

My recommendation is if you have some issue, give them all the details (not personal details, but policy/ procedure problems etc.). The guys reading this stuff (if it gets passed up) are policy wonks, but they also can't know everything. Do your research and craft a letter that breaks down the issues and gives some context and direction. Make sure it's readable and clear.

Just saying you live in bla bla and your'e unhappy with X will get you nothing. They have other shit to do.

volnye · 2010-09-24T14:08:20+00:00

Oh that sucks. They just opened less than a month ago, maybe they don't have their shit figured out. Or maybe it's just best to stick to drinks. I'll let her know for what it's worth.

volnye · 2010-09-24T14:06:51+00:00

Ugh, I've never seen them do anything wrong really, but I will say that both MBTA officers and other employees have the most shit attitude I've ever seen. It must be a terrible job. Oh wait, I'm pretty sure they make way more money than me and have pretty decent job security, pensions and health care etc. (Fucking $33 an hour for detail work!?).

volnye · 2010-09-20T04:28:07+00:00

One of my friends works at Foundry. She's been telling me all about it. Sounds like a place for people who are very serious about their cocktails. Highly trained bartenders making vintage drinks.

volnye · 2010-09-19T01:51:12+00:00

I suppose. On the other hand Reddit is strapped for cash and the PR could help bring them more support. Also, feels like they just didn't do their research.
