Not a snowballs chance in... in.... Canada?

Those are actually decent odds.

I recently started donating to Mozilla. They have been delivering a good product for a very long time, the least I can do is pay for it.

I drove it! I saw a person! It's an odd feeling

Yeah these are tricky social and technical problems that will be solved one way or another. Corporations can solve it behind closed doors, but I'm glad that governments are also trying to solve it.

If we have the opportunity to criticize the government's solutions then than means there is transparency, which is more than we would get from many corporations.

The population is 67 million. I know there are probably people that go through multiple a week, but the average is 1 in 8 people are throwing out a vape every week. That's crazy.

Yeah, Wikipedia is such a stable and positive force in the internet and directly reaches so many people. It's easy to take it for granted but the internet would be so much incredibly worse without it.

I happily donate.

I want any organization that has shown that much commitment to making the world better to be well supported.

There are a lot of ugly details to make any good thing happen. Thank you, everyone, for all the hard work and take care.

After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it's great!

Thank you. That raises new questions. I have heard of Power-over-Ethernet but never water over power.

Does it prevent curious pets from biting the wires?

What's the wall tube for?

This has been reported a few times for inciting violence. While it is walking a line, I don't see OP asking for anyone to be harmed. It was presented in the context of a popular thought experiment. Other posts with the trolley problem often include wealthy people in the scenarios, so I think there is good precedence for keeping this post up.

I agree that this post is uncomfortable and possibly insensitive due to timing as someone has actually died and this post is questioning the value of that death. Many fields of economics assign a monetary value to human life, which similarly makes people feel uncomfortable, but those are valuable conversations to have.

I thought this through a bit and try to error on the side of keeping posts up, but I make mistakes and I am open to feedback. If you want to give anonymous feedback you leave a report (I can't see who writes reports but presumably admins can).

EDIT: Deep breath everyone. Just to be clear, I greatly value people that make reports, I think we all should, its an important part of the ecosystem.

Looks like the Alps in the background. Seems right.

That's clever and simple.

What do the clothes pins do?

Please update your post so that the entire shower thought is in the title. Rule 2.

Thanks for the feedback. I would argue that determining what post counts as a shower thought (rule 1) is a lot harder than determining what posts are about politics.

Thanks for the feedback

This pretty quickly became a well liked post with lots of interaction and is remaining mostly civil.

It's hard to argue that this post doesn't break the new rule for "avoid politics".

Should this post stay?

How do people here feel about the "avoid politics" rule? Should it be rewritten in some way to allow this post?

This was reported for being nonsense. There are rules against spamming, trolling, and other "attention stealing behavior". Spamming would be the closest, but it's not repetitive so I'll leave it for now.

I'm not sure that it's possible to move posts but that would be funny. Maybe c/powerthoughts
