The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

I think the most important lesson for the future is: please don't be so hostile to moderation when it happens. That covers both soft and hard moderation, by both community and ROs/blues. Whether it's flagging, asking for a subject change, or deleting messages, please try to accept and learn from it rather than complaining about censorship, power abuse, or flag trolls.

For the time being, we should assume anyone saying something offends them is doing so in good faith and respect that. Only after we see a pattern of people abusing that privilege should we rethink that.

It looks like we've lost the [plot], hehehehe!

For anyone concerned: Mike got a new pair of lungs and is feeling okay! (see update here)

I have seen a horse fly and a deer fly and a dragon fly, but I've never seen an elephant fly.

@b_jonas :sad moderator noises:

We've decided to make @Jenayah an additional room owner. I'm bad at impromptu speeches, so please pretend I've said something inspiring.

I just earned a new gold badge that I'd never earned before: Socratic.

@xkcd Migrate to meta? :)

@AncientSwordRage this works (and I've already pinged Mith)

I've been locked in my girlfriends house, send help!

@DavidW I'm just surprised Godzilla and Kong aren't in the Justice League yet.

@ClaraDiazSanchez Some of the questions that are being bumped by Community haven't been touched (or previously bumped) since early 2022, so they would have been eligible for bumping last summer and weren't, which means they collected a now-deleted upvote sometime between early 2022 and summer 2022.

@FuzzyBoots FWIW I thought your interventions were very courteous and encouraging. No need to feel bad about it!

@Marvin you mean the USA? /s

I recently made a comic, for the first time in years.

In other news, we've asked SE for a trial period with accepted answers unpinned. See the update to the meta discussion for full details:

@b_jonas well, let's bring that on site, then.

I just watched the movie, and I've got the perfect annoying question for you. It will get a well-researched answer but also several low quality drive-by answers that you nevertheless won't be able to delete; it might get close votes but I think it will survive. I just have to figure out the perfect HNQ-bait title for it first. And also give a tag to the existing questions about the movie.

if Stack Exchange did recipes, they'd cut out the 9 page blog explaining how your granny first got the recipe from a travelling tuba player

Unless maybe you're in a kinky roleplay with a French-speaking beekeeper. Not judging :)

Trying and failing to avoid getting too frustrated with the new review queues.

Daily floof 5/12/2020: negative Dalmatian?

@SQB I love the Dino de Laurentiis film from the 80s and I also watched the animated series as a kid, but I'd hardly call myself an expert on the planet of Mongo.

I can imagine someone seeing a 100-year ban as a challenge and not a caution.

Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road, dies aged 89

The year is 2023. Twitter is burning. Reddit is blacked out. Stack mods are on strike.

Though I can see the attraction of having your spell checker being able to flag misspellings in "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul," especially on this site.

Community VP Questions: What's the best of Stack?

Magic wand time - what does your community need? (More questions from the Community VP)

ISO-8601 is the only true date format, don't @ me.

@Adamant I guess I don't have the right mindset for a troll, I just don't get it.

There's not long left to vote for community ads and propose your own!

Oh! Congratulations @FuzzyBoots on overtaking Slytherincess to join the top 4 highest-rep users of all time.

New Community VP seeks your input - what should we be looking to change and what is inviolable?
