He tried to kill the active President, not for political reasons, but to impress an actress who didn't know he existed.

Mans bat shit. Why on earth would the diagnosis of crazy be challenged?

So what exactly is wrong with making the voice mail say "I will never check this. Email me at person@company.tld if you want help"? If the requirement is bullshit, why shouldn't people comply maliciously? As long as there's some way to contact the dev (like through email), who gives a rats ass if the phone number doesn't work? I don't need to call Lawrence Dawson cause Sync is having issues. I can post on the sub or probably find an email somewhere. It's not gonna be instant like a phone call, but it doesn't need to be.

Yeah, that's going on my list of shit to maybe steal later...

As a former mod, in my experience it was more having a place to engage a community, and helping that community grow and improve. Reddit being a million dollar company when I started and a billion dollar company when I left didn't really factor in. If you have a site split up into a million little communities, you need moderators that can have intimate knowledge of each community they oversee, and that's unreasonable for a company of any size to do in house. Otherwise you have Facebook style moderation where it's just plain dreadful no matter where you are.

Additionally, it really matters what sized sub you modded.

I modded mostly smaller subs, one big one for a while, and a default for 2 weeks. I put a lot of effort into the smaller subs, especially when it was just a few people whose usernames I recognized posting. I had little jokes hidden around, some cool CSS stuff, and some automated tasks. It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours a week. I didn't mind it.

The big sub I was on mostly through mutuals. I was known to be pretty decent with automod scripting, so I got brought in to deal with never ending spam. I would update the automod and check queue every couple days, no biggie. Then the rest of the mods all drifted offline, leaving me alone to either let the sun die or to try and maintain the damned thing.

I maintained it near single handedly for like 2 years. It was mostly adding more and more to automod, but a lot was manual approvals and deletions. It sucked and sapped all the fun out of an activity I used to enjoy. Wasn't the worst, but I wouldn't have joined in the first place had I known why would happen.

Default subs are a different beast entirely. They don't even use automod half the time. All of them have custom bots that link either a slack or discord, and everything is run externally through there. I decided to dip when I asked how tf all their tools worked and got refered to almost a damn knowledge base. That truly seemed awful and like it needed to be done by dedicated and paid employees.

Anyways, this comment spiraled, so sorry about that.

Oh man, I used to see you around constantly. I believe you posted about your methods at one point and I started following them. Hunted down quite a few bots as well!

For the subs I modded, my main strategy was to just ban any NameName or NameName## accounts that could post, and remove any comments from them that were super short or contained a link. That cut down on a ton of those assholes.

I actually got to talk in person with one of the admins at Reddit in charge of spam prevention. I basically gave the bastard a lecture in all the ways the spammers were spamming and scamming. Got told they'd follow up with me soon for more. Never got that follow up and I gave up caring once the API changes went through. I actually deleted all my anti bot code from the subs, but they're still all private anyways

The mod for artificer is excellent! It's a touch unbalanced, especially if you take the correct infusion, but overall I had a ton of fun with it last playthrough!

Do be aware that if you go Battle Smith, the "upgraded" robot you get in act 3 doesn't auto navigate well. We'd get across the map and he'd still be chilling at the blushing mermaid. The basic robot also struggles on navigation, but not nearly as badly

I'm younger, but this basically sums up my experience. I still try and make sure to do some (TTRPG) writing every so often just to keep myself sharp.

I used to go through a saga in a couple days. I once reread all of Harry Potter in 6 days. I struggle to finish audio books that I love nowadays

Similar situation - those board games are honestly pretty rare and almost universally shit, app or no. Plus, they've been trying to do that for years. I had a clue board game that would text you clues throughout the game. I played that on my first flip phone. It was absolutely horrendous

I mean, if anyone needs a private plane, it's the leader of a country. Shits too tense nowadays for any group to risk that

It should be quite a few mods. The beta testers have reported being able to do a ton of stuff way easier

The delay does suck though

That's fair.

I also can't blame them for ditching WotC ASAP. Their legacy properties feel like pump and dumps lately. Take a look at how many magic sets released in 2010 compared to today. Then their reportedly "backwards compatible" 5.5e isn't gonna be backwards compatible at all, and despite a decade of feedback, they still managed to fuck up more than one class completely. Bank of America dropped their ass for extreme product fatigue.

I wouldn't want to bet my company's future on WotC. I wouldn't want to bet my worst enemy's future on WotC's.

There's an article on the front page right now about how a cop who raped his daughters was given custody and the mother imprisoned for refusing court mandated Christian reunification therapy.

Cops don't have consequences

The gag in the scene is that he filled the arc only with same sex animal couples

Shit, am I about to become a newgrounds user again after like 15 years?

Yeah, I'll take lysteria over buddig

• anyone but himself

But in the other hand, getting someone who doesn't know to type in all those useless tracking bits just to get rickrolled is way funnier

Every so often I see new monitors with DVI support and I always wonder why

They are! I think we can all agree that women are.
