I can't tell if that's a thinly veiled threat, or a thank you for the assist.

Sure! I'll repost someone else's explanation:

Each comment has a score from -1 to 5 (most comments start at 1), and each user has a score from -10 to 50 (start at 0). Any account that is at least a year or two old, has a high enough score, and has a certain amount of recent activity will occasionally get a package of "mod points" that can be used for increasing or decreasing the score of a comment in any thread to which the user hasn't already posted along with the score of the user who posted the comment. (Site administrators get unlimited mod points.)

Just to add a few minor bits: Comments that reached -1 would appear collapsed by default. When voting, you'd also choose one out of a preset list of reasons (insightful, funny, etc.), and the dominant reason would tag your comment as that.

This right here. If anything, I prefer Slashdot style mod points to upvotes/downvotes as there is an opportunity cost to voting. I find it fosters more interesting and less echo-chambery discussions.

Most of us are probably guilty of this at least on occaaion, but the down vote button isn't intended to be a disagree button.

Same thing with Taylor Swift tickets I guess? I'd imagine it's because of negative backlash to charging so much. Instead of people being mad at the scalpers, they'd be mad at the retailers.

I'm personally kind of partial to the lottery method for right to buy, since it cuts down on scalpers.

I mean, there's such a limited volume rn, that they're just going to get scalped for that price, so it probably doesn't affect the end buyer's price much anyways.

Still, not a great precedent.

OK, Grandpa, back to bed. j/k j/k :)

We have multiple industries (movie/tv/gaming/sports) whose main focus is "wasting" time. Finding some enjoyment in linguistics and logic certainly isn't any more of a waste.

Remember, there were plenty of rounds of moderator purges on reddit, especially when subs would lock down in protest. Any mod with ethics and a backbone would've been shown the door. So I think it's fair to say a lot of the moderation problems were at least in part caused by the admins.

At least on Lemmy, different instances have different ethoses, so communities can be more in line with the instance they're on, and there isn't this need for absolute centralised conformity.

Also, having public mod logs is a big step towards transparency. Sure there are still problems, but it's definitely no where near as bad IMO.

I think you're right. There's a bit of an infinite regress problem, isn't there?

Just a good reason not to dabble in paradoxes before you've had some coffee. lol

Oooh, that's a good one! Its use also makes its user described by itself. Neat!

You're correct! I had an extra not in there. Good catch.

There's actually a whole class of these words. They're called heterological words.

Their opposite, autological (or homological) words are words that do describe themselves. "Autological" is an autological word because it describes itself.

Here's a fun question, though: is "heterological" a heterological word? If you say yes, then that means it does not describe itself and therefore it is not heterological. If you say no, then it does describe itself therefore it is heterological. Bit of a head scratcher.

This is the Grelling-Nelson paradox.

XD

Not entirely false. I'd honestly like to see a few more vegan Goudas seasoned properly with caraway seeds! (Not that most non-vegan cheeses get this right either...)

Flavour wise, vegan cheese is pretty good, but there's definitely still room for improvement.

Ofc, a more "authentic" tasting vegan Gouda cheese probably wouldn't even belong on pizza in the first place!

Presumably his time teaching literal children also helped prepare him for dealing with that one.

Example pizza with vegan cheese:

This one is 50% Daiya smoked Gouda block and 50% store brand veg Mozzarella.

They posted it yesterday as well. The number appears to be not 4, not 1, but 2.

I've not tested it myself, but YACReader alleges to support PDFs, and it's got very good support for prev/next since it's a comic reader.

Is there? It works fine for me... Could someone else verify?

Obligatory plug for !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Come share stuff you like that's made in Canada, and help support Canadian owned and operated companies!

I think it'll end when the movie runs out of dialogue. For the enhanced experience, you can watch along in the movie daily.
