  • Anyone know what this symbol means?

    Jump

  • I have no idea. I work in a large department and I don't know who 3/4 of my coworkers are. I've never even seen the symbols in person, this was the first time I was made aware of them.

  • Honestly, this tracks with where I work. I thought it was something cooler.

  • What’s Going On With 196, Or, Why We Did What We Did

    Jump

  • From what I understand, back on Reddit it was a subreddit that had only 1 rule: If you found your way to that subreddit somehow, you had to post something before you left. A lot of people titled their post "rule" or included the word "rule" for that reason.

    As for why 196, i believe that was the dorm room number of the founder of that subreddit. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

  • I can confirm it's not. I always get this warning whenever I do a fresh install of Windows 10 and try to install Chrome.

  • Husbando, yeah. I agree with you though, it's not as fun to say.

  • What's the specific town/suburb/village within "everyday driving-distance" from you with the most toxic people?

  • Can I pick both?

  • Why is removing stuck rings with dental floss painless for some people?

    Jump

  • The overarching answer is "people are different". But I suspect you want a more granular answer than that.

    Depending on various factors like age, sex, hydration status, disease process, etc., some people's skin is more elastic than others. People also have different pain tolerances. If you mix and match all of these factors, you'll get people reacting differently to the same stimuli.

    1. Upload Topic A
    2. Comments discuss Topic A
    3. OP edits post to Topic B
    4. Comments reflect Topic A discourse.

    When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I've seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

    All that said, I'm sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

    I'm sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn't really matter too much in the end.

    Cursing is when you use edgy filler words instead of saying something meaningful.

    Jump

  • And at the time of writing my previous two posts, I was a little drunk so I hope I made my point lol.

    But yes, I understand where you are coming from. There is always an alternative, more "polite" way of getting a message across, even if that message itself is not polite. Using curses is a crutch for people that do not have the wit and vocabulary to say what they want to say. Did I get that right?

    I feel like we agree to some extent. However, where we differ is in our attitudes towards the use of curses. You seem to look down on people who curse at all whereas I look down on people who curse profusely. By profusely, I mean in situations where cursing is not warranted (inappropriate setting) or just general overuse.

    I think people can do and say whatever they want so long as they don't hurt anybody, cursing included. I don't see how the use of curses actually hurts anyone except maybe the recipient of a pointed "fuck you". Anyone else around to hear the curse word only gets offended because society told them to.

    I draw the line at racial slurs. That's just not cool.

  • It's entirely possible to get your feelings across without ever using curse words. I commend people for having the emotional maturity and the vocabulary to do so. However, I feel it is emotionally disingenuous to censor yourself with "polite" versions of curse words, for example saying "shoot" instead of "shit" or "fudge" instead of "fuck".

    I can understand if your surroundings aren't conducive to curses, like being around children or in polite company such as a work or religious environment, but if you're in a position where it is socially acceptable to curse but instead choose to censor yourself, I find you to be emotionally disingenuous or at least emotionally immature. If you choose to never ever curse, that's cool too. Again, I think it's commendable to never have to resort to curses. But if you have to use a curse word to get your point across, just use it if the environment is appropriate. Doubly so if it's in a written medium.

    I know what you're trying to say when you type "f**k". You've done nothing but demonstrate to me that you would like to seem "proper" while still resorting to using offensive language. Emotionally disingenuous, or at best emotionally immature. If you feel like you must censor yourself, then just don't curse at all.

  • When was the last time I changed the oil in my mower?

  • I thought two-stroke engines mix the oil and fuel together? Every time you refuel, you should also be topping up the oil. Am I wrong?

  • I agree to an extent. If overused, cursing can be "edgy" and offputting. However, sometimes you just need to emphasize the emotion of a given statement that mere "polite" words cannot express.

    Quite frankly, I do not trust people that do not curse. I feel that they are not emotionally genuine. Conversely, I feel that people that curse too much are emotionally immature and do not know how to express themselves properly. Cursing is an art. It's a linguistic balancing act where one must take the audience and message into consideration.
