  • Words problem is partly because they tried to make it into a swiss army knife, but it just ended up being one of those goofy “multi-tool pens”, that don’t do anything good.

    Okay, maybe thats an bit of an exaggeration, Word is amazing for text and pretty much any text related formatting you can think of*, but the second you want to add an image, it becomes a nightmare.

    *from a non-technical person/ease of the GUI perspective. I know LaTek is much better getting your end goal efficiently, but Word can still get you there…eventually.

    I’d prefer it that way as well (less to try and catagoize and no is it W or P gray zone to figure out), but I think nsfw has become so ubiquitous with porn that not many use it for other stuff. You either have to restablish the nsfw rules (and moderate) or create a new tag to fill in the gap.

    Apologies for the rant

    We really need a thrid tag. (And NSFL to be a supported tag/filter feature like nsfw)

    It should have been;

    • NSFW = anything you wouldn’t wan’t your boss/coworker/stranger in public to see.
    • NSFM = not safe for minors; in other words, porn.
    • NSFL = gore, death, etc.

    Theres no way anyone will agree to change nsfw now, so we’ll have to go for something else. I propose;

    • NSFP = not safe for public. This is for things like “sexy pics”, dark, potty, or sex humor (pretty much all of C&H), and that “ball vasectamy switch” post from eailer. It’s a funny post, but personally I don’t want a detailed 3D rendering of balls showing up while scrolling in public.

    Edits to include link to the ball post I referenced, and an example community that I belive would fall under my NSFP tag (Cyanide abd Happiness). https://lemm.ee/c/cyanideandhappiness Plus general spelling and grammar fixes as I find them.


  • It is theoreticaly possible, but praticaly speaking it would be near impossible.

    To acomplish this, you need to get 51% of the population (who actually vote) to all vote for one person. However, with FPTP, you get one choice on the ballot. Is the average voter going to risk their vote on a 3rd party, or vote for who they belive to be the “lesser evil” of the two that have a shot at winning?

    Even if you do manage to get 51%, there’s the electoral collage. Never forget, our democracy has built in the ability to overwrite the presidential vote.

    Your first hurdle is getting any one to name an independent candidate.

    Edit: adjusted some wording to be better.




  • Parents: you need to read lots of book in your free time to get smart and go to collage.

    ~~~ Many years later ~~~

    Me: I would like to attend university next year. I will pursue an education in literature to achieve my goal of becoming a published author.

    Parents: you will not! There is no success as an author, I will not support you going to to school for such a waste.

    Seems like you’re some kind of purest…go back to the Alpha versions? Which, they actually make really easy.

    Personally I like features that provide a new purpose and build off of existing systems. Horse armor is a a natural progression for protecting your horse. Its mirrors the player armor system with materials (leather to diamond). Wolf armor breaks the mold, it could mimic player/horse armor in mechanics and material progression, but instead it comes from armodillo scales with seemingly no way to upgrade. They even copied the ability to dye the armor - they probably copy pasted the code for leather and made a new redundant item.

    Probably. I’ll be surprised if they don’t finally stop this noncense this year or next with all the negative feedback it got last year.

    Just give us the new features without threatening us with other features “lost forever”.

    That being said, I will always give credit where credit is due - for a game fullly released in 2011, the fact we have gotten significant free anual updates for the past 13 years is insane. Unlike the other major 2011 release (Skyrim) that seems to only update to break mods for fun.
