  • You are being trolled, this person made a humongous ruckus and pissed everybody off, and insulted everybody, and is acting like he has no idea what's going on.

    If anybody was a candidate to be permanently nuked from the internet, it's people like the guy you're responding to.

  • It's not an easy job being a moderator, no matter how egregious the behavior is, it's always a difficult decision.

    I think though this user has pretty convincingly revealed their underlying motivations, by way of their various posts and their behavior therein.

    I was checking the "strength" post in a weird voyeuristic way, just to see the downvotes and look at the squabbling.

    Each time I came back, I noticed that they had completely revised the entire post content, along with many of their comments.

    The entire thing reeked of bait, trolling, mean-spirited sarcasm... All blended with what seemed to be, at least to me, a very bizarre fixation and fetish-like fascination about a specific topic.

    For all the extremely valid criticism Reddit gets, at the very least one of the things they did rock-solid was giving moderators tools to deal with users who were acting in bad faith or outright abusively. For example, they made it extremely easy to automatically filter posts from untrusted new users until they had passed a certain threshold, or other ways to limit their exposure until they had established themselves as part of the community.

    I'm not sure how robust, or even what set of tools you have available on this platform.

    Whatever you can do to help us participants of this community, I know that I would personally thank you and appreciate it. Sometimes the answer is to ignore these people though, not necessarily bans, because in a way that gives these social deviants what they're after in the first place.

  • I'm not trying to criticize OP

    But I have seen this posted over and over again, and I really don't understand why it is capturing people's attention.

    Another commenter here pointed out that it's mystical pseudoscience, and it has no relevancy to anything. (Ed: Unless you want to fund future research and how to create undead soldiers /s)

    There's really no mystery to what happens when a human dies or any other creature for that matter, various electrical impulses continue in various ways, then the creature dies.

  • As a kid, we used to go along the train tracks and pick up pieces of coal that tumbled out of the cars.

    Coal heating was very common especially in the more remote regions of my area, until the late '70s.

  • It's not a joke to take an unnecessary cheap shot at somebody who's already suffering homelessness and is at the end of their rope.

    I don't know why you think that's funny, or why mocking childhood SA is funny.

  • I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic "final final true boss has one hit point and I choke" move.

    Now I'm 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

  • It's like you didn't read the article, and are specifically focusing on a one-dimensional argument while you can conveniently ignore the greater issues at play.

    Go and read your own comments, in fact go read the article, and please try to come back with some meaningful thoughts.
