  • You should be reporting and then blocking a user that harasses you in that manner. Those tools are available to you for a reason.

  • Your votes are already public and have been since you joined. There is just a slight barrier to entry to viewing the details that aren't shown on frontends.

  • Right, that is what I meant by "inconsistent from one page to another". The received posts would be in an unfiltered state on each page and so the order could be very different depending on the local blocklist, probably resulting in stuff like the top of page 2 having a higher score than the bottom of page 1 pretty frequently.

  • Skyward Sword in particular was pretty linear despite technically having a literal 'overworld' of sorts.

  • OP suggested two alternatives: complete abstinence, or more frequent use, and they were specifically addressing the demographic of "occasional users who are turned off because of their sensitization to the negative effects"

    To me that is a pretty reasonable take and doesn't seem to be promoting regular use as much as it is troubleshooting a particular problem. But of course if it came across differently to you that is fine.

  • Would the client not be able to sort the received posts after filtering? Granted things could be fairly inconsistent from one page to the next. Or maybe something like "Score: 0 (blocked: 1k)" to indicate the proportion of activity being taken out of consideration?

    Definitely not confident that this is a good idea or anything btw, just spitballing

  • It hasn't aged too badly, but it's from an era where you were not necessarily expected to figure everything out on your own -- talking about it with IRL friends or reading tips and tricks in a magazine (or on the early Internet/Usenet) were pretty normal. I would say give it a try but don't be hesitant to look for a guide if you get stuck or lost.

  • It would be very cool to have something like this from a data analytics perspective. Similar tools have existed for other platforms before.

  • Fedia displays details on up votes but not down. Which is slightly a shame because I'm mildly curious if the single down vote I get on ~70% of my comments is from like one guy I pissed off at some point. At the same time I don't care enough to work around the system, so maybe it works?

  • You could do something like send a list of user IDs who voted, and have the client do the filtering locally with its blocklist. It would consume more bandwidth instead of computational power but probably wouldn't scale very well

  • The original Legend of Zelda. You had a large open overworld to explore, and IIRC could do many of the dungeons in any order.

  • Because headaches, sweating, and irritability are inconvenient, unpleasant certainly, but not unsafe as their original comment implies

    The most unsafe part of smoking weed is the actual smoking part of it. Or if you're a dumbass and do something risky while you're stoned.

  • I don't think it's reasonable to call someone an addict if they're an occasional user at the level OP is discussing.

  • It's a little-known fact that guys can noclip when they're horny enough

  • I believe they meant to write "liars" and autocorrect stepped in

  • I might have to reevaluate where I keep my medicines. Kitchen has been 85-90 F frequently in the last month, I have had bad luck getting a portable AC that actually works.

  • That's interesting, didn't know that either. I would normally caution against painting an Israeli business the same as the Israeli government, but I skimmed their Wikipedia article and it looks like the company has treated Palestinians pretty badly itself :(

    Truthfully, I couldn't remember any of the other competitor brands that I considered when deciding on a Drinkmate originally. Sodastream was just the one that came to mind.

  • Sorcerule

    Jump
  • it's the first time I've seen this sort of reversal on the "trollface perpetual motion machine" memes, it's pretty great

  • That's mildly concerning! There are risks associated with using less-than food-grade CO2 in beverages.
