@Nathaniel Yeah, and this particular example doesn't seem off-topic in either site, so I suppose it deserves an answer on both. It would be nice if we could link them somehow tho.

Q: Clarification regarding cross-posting rules

Kit SundeI asked one question over on skeptics.stackexchange.com about empirical evidence for programmer productivity. One user then prompted me that I'd have more luck over on programmers.stackexchange.com, so I cross posted there as it clearly fits both sites. I thought until very recently that it's no...

Thomas Shields

etc
Thomas Shields

like how Jesus is "The Word" or "Wisdom"
Thomas Shields

@El'endiaStarman holy cow my mind. You just made me think of several examples of how there's like alternate trinities to mirror the Trinity

Another random thought, I've always liked how chat rooms show cumulative rep. I look way cooler with 9k than 3k.

In other words, the very nature of Christianity is one of absolute truth - as opposed to the "in-context" or relativistic answers we're forced to give to stay in the vein of the definition of a "Christian" per the site.

Random thought I've been meaning to voice: one of the biggest struggles with this site is providing subjective answers on very objective questions.

@waxeagle hm.
Thomas Shields

@waxeagle sweeeet.
Thomas Shields

@waxeagle hm.
Thomas Shields
Jun 10, 2013 02:14
@waxeagle darn it all, why must we be practical?

@Jas3.1 yeah you can upload straight to imgur and then copy the link but it's generally better to upload through that picture button
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 02:58
@DavidStratton yeah nothing special just figured it wasn't a bad idea to have another trusted user in charge
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:39
@JonEricson oh okay. neat.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:34
lol
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:34
I feel that is appropriate considering I am one. @mods feel free to undo. :)
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:30
@waxeagle ah nice
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:29
@waxeagle whoa cool
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:29
@waxeagle yeah true. I'm just super busy during school.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:28
I really want to run but practically speaking a student mod doesn't feel like a good idea to me. Though @El'endiaStarman has shown otherwise.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:28
ah okay
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:28
oh cool.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:27
...in retrospect that sounds sketchy
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:26
Oh, so by this logic... a couple of us could run alongside the real candidates, helping secure votes and knocking worse candidates off. Then, in the final rounds, we drop out, forcing votes to be transferred to the good choices...
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:25
:P
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:25
@waxeagle come on, I know how to google too...
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:25
@waxeagle interesting
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:24
I'm not up to speed on all the fancy acronyms.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:24
@waxeagle true. STV?
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:22
I can see this going badly if a bunch of fresh members get in on the voting
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:22
@waxeagle oh right, yeah.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:21
@JonEricson okay, gotcha
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:20
@waxeagle so it starts from scratch then, as opposed to the yearly SO elections that just add on?
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:20
or would they just add new ones?
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:20
@JonEricson would elections get rid of the current mods?
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:20
@waxeagle okay cool.
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:19
@JonEricson wasn't my idea, if I remember right. But yeah it was fun choosing it. :) Thanks!
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:18
also, do we have a date for our first real-site elections? (or do those only come around if needed?)
Thomas Shields
Jun 6, 2013 00:13
....aaaand i just saw what you edited out
