“Wham, bam, feed me ham!”

Not really, I file it in the same category as karma. It’s a magical sentiment people wrap around cause and effect, usually to justify or pander to their own prejudices.

I think it’s pretty common when you reach a certain age to want to go back to a more nostalgic time for you personally. There’s a certain level of bias and rose tinted glasses to it, no doubt.

For instance, I myself would kill for it to be 1992 again.

This is a very surface level observation. For your father there might be more nuance to the sentiment.

I had a lot of fun with this one.

Is there any connection to the word Catharsis?

There are no guarantees in life, or death.

“MY TEAM WON”

In short, brain dead hooligan mentality.

I got into it with friends last weekend when they were talking about Black Adam. I told them it’s 2025, they should just be calling him Adam.

There are a handful of considerations. Two that were important to me:

1. The instance host wasn’t likely to call it quits a few months in.
2. The instance host is hands off when it comes to user expreaaion, with the exception of dangerous illegal activity and legitimate and serious cases of harassment.

Now you’re talking!

I love this. I may have to build one in a custom enclosure.

That’s a fair point.

The best content on this platform often has less than 10 votes. The most? The sociopolitical headline mill communities.

If certain people feel that’s the good content, that’s their prerogative. I don’t.

I find a good amount of opinions in that post highly idealized and conceptual, but not really the end experience. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing the link.

I’d be more open to a voting system that rewards actual contribution. For example, a user is allotted (rewarded?) a certain number of votes for every post and every comment they make. The content creators and discussion participants drive the platform.

I’m sure a whole new set of problems would arise, but I feel it’d be a fresh experience, with less armchair warriors.

I think voting is completely unnecessary, and is a sort of “participation placebo” for the lazy but opinionated.

No, and I wish votes didn’t even exist here.

That is what is suggested by the idiom.

I’ve use a black sharpie to “tint” LEDs before. Your mileage may vary though, depending on the kind and shape of LED.

Only expect to use it for networking. And avoid the social feed like the plague.
