Fully agreed. The mods will add this as a rule but probably not enforce it super aggressively. Unlike things like abuse and spam, the downsides of not adding a tag is that you’ll invite lower quality responses. We can look at some kind of automation if the community really grows.
Pros: Posts are more obvious when you’re browsing posts from multiple communities. It helps reinforce/remind what tone replies should take.
Cons: More work to mod!
I’d love to hear more feedback from people about what they think. Upvoting the post doesn’t count - USE YOUR WORDS.
Thank you! But I prefer to think of myself as a terrible person.
FINE.
🌮
I don’t mind pitching in, assuming Dolphin does a halfass good job of notifying about mods tasks pending.

It’s intentional and having worked in the market research tools sector for a couple years, I concluded it’s because they’re idiots.
The rationale is that a later question might prejudice your response to an earlier question, so to eliminate bias they prevent you from changing a previous response. Because apparently that’s so much more common in a self-serve survey than making a fucking mistake.
I remember reading this in a few different books too. The stake immobilized them and then you killed them with fire or a priest wielding a flamethrower or something.
What a freaking process.
You can’t control it. That’s the answer.
You should worry about the decisions you make every day that might hasten your death (or make it really horrible), but that’s where your influence ends.
I’m laughing at the city planner that meticulously set all this up in anticipation of the courts being so wildly popular they required a booking system.
All that work and they’re sitting mostly unused.
That’s when you reply and fixate on completely the wrong part of the thread. Teach them for not setting the right context.
Just pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes and back in the fridge. It’ll be GoOd aS NeW the next morning!
Everyone has a style. I used to work at a small company where we’d give “anonymous” peer feedback. The boss liked to have a meeting and read it to us in private so we knew how we were seen.
Every time he finished I’d say “aw, thanks Sally!” or “that was nice of Greg.” Nailed it every time and my boss HATED it.
Your writing style isn’t something to “fix”. It’s your signature.
The only thing I would see as something to work on is if people generally think you use too few words, or too many. Communication is all about efficiently giving people context. If you can do that without people getting confused or impatient, you’re golden. Keep being you.
Identical.
I bought the bottle of 360 pills at Walmart a couple years ago. Finally ran out and got more. Same brand. Same price.
Suddenly there’s only 200 pills in the bottle AND it’s in a larger bottle now? wtf?
And the people charging admission are also hemorrhaging money.
Weird fucking timeline.
Probably not.
Property taxes are pretty simple. Your regional government figures out how much money they need to run all the services they provide - roads, water, trash collection, schools, etc. Then they divide that number by the houses in the area. That’s the tax rate.
So if the housing market crashes and every house halves in value, that doesn’t mean your tax bill gets cut in half - it won’t change at all. But, on paper, your tax rate just doubled.
Where this does come into play is that not every property is worth the same amount. So if your home drops or increases in value relative to other homes in the area, then you’ll see your personal tax bill amount change. This kind of thing usually happens if something develops in your neighborhood. They built a prison? Property value probably drops. They built, I dunno, a golf course? Probably increases.
I see a penis that’s 80% charged but pointed left.
If I got mad at peoples lack of critical thinking I wouldn’t get very far in a day. But they are insane.
“Thank God for curing my cancer!”
“HE FUCKING GAVE IT TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!”

There’s different levels of what is being sold as AI.
At the top, there’s the big promises that AI will replace all workers and somehow usher in a golden age. But there’s never any real evidence to support it. I consider this all hype that’s easily ignored and is only dangerous when powerful people start to believe and act on it.
Below that, AI is coming in like a new tool that speeds up tasks that are otherwise very manual.
Stupid example: remember on The Office when they read Michael’s script, and at one point the “idiot” character was referred to as “Dwigt”? The explanation was that Michael had originally written the character to make fun of Dwight and then changed it via find-and-replace. Except that doesn’t catch Dwigt because it was a typo. An AI solution would be way more likely to catch that and fix it, preventing a humiliating mistake from being printed, and saving a person hours of proofreading.
Better example: when I wrote code at work, I can tell the AI “now write all the automated tests” and in a couple minutes it will spit out a thorough test suite that exercises all the functionality and edge cases. Something that might take a few hours is basically done for me, and I just have to review it. That reviewing would normally have been done by 2 other people before we can ship that change. Instead, I can be one of those reviewers and only one additional person needs to go over it. We’ve just saved somebody an hour.
But those examples aren’t the ones being hyped up so heavily because it’s only making AI “useful”, not “revolutionary”.
It’s a tool. It’s good at some things. It’s hilariously bad at others.
IMO it’s more like how Excel came in and replaced a bunch of tedious paperwork, allowing complicated spreadsheets to suddenly be easily edited and dynamically updated when you need to make changes.
