Well, after a while you start wondering why so many people sit in chairs… It can’t really be a coincidence ?

I’ve seen a few blogs with “Don’t comment to say you didn’t like the article, Doug” as a rule.

There was a politics subreddit I was on that had a “downvoting is not allowed” rule. There’s literally no way to tell who’s downvoting on Reddit, or even if downvoting is happening if it’s not enough to go below 0 or trigger the “controversial” indicator.

I got permabanned from that subreddit when someone who’d said something offensive asked “why am I being downvoted???” And I tried to explain to them why that was the case. No trial, one million years dungeon, all modmail ignored. I guess they don’t get to enforce that rule often and so leapt at the opportunity to find an excuse.

There are fewer lifeforms in the universe lower than Reddit mods.

CanadaPolitics, right? That rule never made sense to me.

I think on the desktop version many years ago the downvote button was hidden, but if you visited from anywhere else you could downvote.

You could also downvote on the desktop site by using the RES keyboard shortcut

Yup. Fortunately unsubscribing from politics subreddits is generally advisable whether one has been banned from them or not.

Amazon’s gaming framework can’t be used to thwart zombie apocalypses.

Edit: I was wrong, see comment below :)

Au contraire. The terms of service of the Lumberyard engine used to disallow using it in critical infrastrucure (e.g. hospitals, power plants, military facilities) unless there was a zombie apocalypse.

Not a website, but a facebook group I’m in specifically has a rule against “going live” from the bathroom.

This just reminded me that Cardi B did an Instagram live from her bathroom when she was fucking destroying that thing.

I don’t think I’ll ever laugh as hard about any celebrity situation than that one

This is further evidence that all safety rules have been written in blood.
