Why are you asking a stranger out in the first place.

I think I'm just utterly fed up with all the expectations that come with gender. I just want to be me and be accepted that way.

@scohe001 you're punstoppable

Oct 14, 2019 15:45

Also, by laughing at and appreciating others puns, you push the pun industry forward with your support and encourage newer, worse puns in the future.

@Ælis I know there's been a lot of "Boycott moderation! Go on strike!" going around, and I don't agree or disagree with it, but at the end of the day, I'm here because of you guys. This place is only fun because of the community, and I hope we don't lose sight of that with everything happening. It's that sentiment that I appreciate in the post :)

In the beginning, there were people, and they had things, and the things were good, and the people were happy. And some of the things were fragile, and some were sharp, and some had pointy knobbly bits, like a lego piece but worse, and people would step on these things, and this was not good.
And one day a person put the things up on a rocky ledge, and lo, they were not on the ground, and could not be stepped on, and there was much rejoicing, and yea, people had invented the shelf.
And people began to accumulate more things, but there were not more ledges, so they made new ledges with logs …

I'm not making this an answer for a reason but... I think we need to consider more what we're deleting. Once a question is closed, why are we deleting it? Closed questions aren't usually deleted unless they're inactive, downvoted and have no upvoted answers... right? Why manually delete them? I see at least one person in here complaining about not having enough delete votes... why not save them for answers?

@avazula Linux is an OS, not a machine. Okay, amendment: if you're really really techie, get whatever hardware you want and put Linux on it.

Perhaps you're comming across rather strong? Like now that you got a review ban, you're here in chat "demanding" to know what happened to democracy! (exagerated to make my point ofcourse).

@Ælis I just left a comment but please consider leaving a comment of your own when you delete vote if there's none yet; mods really shouldn't have to be reviewing recently deleted answers to make sure users are getting feedback

So, my coworkers and I just found out that the software our company uses for feedback provides a Tinder style rating system for your coworkers and has leaderboards where you can see who the highest rated people are

@Hamlet No, but if others copy your way of commenting, the culture may well become too rigid.

@Hamlet Could you please give us a break? We are here for the community but we are not perfect and we are not arbiters of justice. I already feel like I overreacted on that question because you're pushing me around and I don't appreciate it. A couple of bad questions on the site for a few hours will not break this site.
