Mods should be forced to indicate what rule was broken when banning. All bans should be appealable on reddit and addressed by a human being. Mods who have a history of frequent ban overturns should be suspended or banned.

I have very little sympathy for reddit mods. Too many of them are petty little tyrants with no checks on them. I hope the door hits them on the ass.

Extra long kitteh

This is like suing the phone company over phone calls. Sorry but the man involved was responsible, not the communication mediums.

Consumer or business? I can see businesses but I have yet to run into a consumer, who isn’t an enthusiast, who is even aware of Linux.

This was more than just simple reflexes though, like minibrains.

When I was a kid I didn’t read about a “2nd brain” but a series of ganglions that acted like relays down the spine. Supposedly the belief was the size of dinosaurs made it impossible for nerve signals to reach the brain from distant parts of the body in a timely manner so they had these relays that made it easier to have reflex responses while the signal was being passed on to the brain.

The idea stemmed from misinterpretations of large cavities found in the hip region of some dinosaurs, like Stegosaurus. This cavity, which appeared somewhat brain-shaped, was likely a glycogen body, a structure similar to one found in modern birds, and its purpose in dinosaurs is not fully understood but may relate to energy storage or balance.

I was talking to a guy in Hong Kong about the housing there. It is obviously very expensive but they have public housing. The public housing has income limits and a very long waiting list. He said by the time you hit the end of the waiting list your income has usually crept up past the cutoff limit.

Public health flat earthers

Gotta get people to replace their tvs somehow so dangle an “upgrade”.

“They made fun of my router settings!” sobs

I don’t understand how taco bell survives in my city when I’m surrounded by dozens of real mexican restaurants and food trucks.

Cops work with prosecutors to determine if there is enough evidence to make it worthwhile to proceed. The parent comment implied that police are the only determining factor.

It is a foundation of our justice system. If you don’t think you’ll win there is no point in proceeding and you have just wasted your time and resources and now if new evidence comes up you can’t prosecute them for the same charge. This is why prosecutors are supposed to make sure they have a solid case before proceeding.

Poor comparison of two wildly different techs

Sorry but no jury would say “they knew this would happen and they are responsible beyond any reasonable doubt”. It would be a waste of money and time.

Prosecutors prefer to put effort into cases they think they can win. You can only try someone for the same charge once so if they don’t think there is a good chance of winning they are unlikely to put much effort into it or even drop it.

The old joke, “If you want to live forever move to a small town because every day will feel like an eternity.”

If that is the case then I’d like to see how aware they were of what was happening. I’d push for criminal charges against management in that case.
