Eh, the mistake was in engaging with a post that was surely about to be deleted by the OP.

I wrote a long thoughtful reply to a heavily downvoted post only to find the post had been deleted before I could hit submit, and I hadn’t copied the text.

The Children Macnuggits — “Life Is Excellent”

Relevant lyrics:

I like my glowing box and
I like my showers hot
But you can’t take the kill out of
Kilowatt

I know that talk is cheap
And I know that I am weak
But I’d like to be around next week

What… do you think of it as?

It’s a reply to your comment about downotes. The point of votes is to rank threads, and the point of ranking threads is to promote cogent comments and avoid irrelevance, misinformation, and malice. I do this in real life and I do it here.

On the contrary, in real life I remove myself from conversations where people have nothing worthwhile to say every day. Half my job is judging when that’s the case so I can prioritize the interactions where people are ready to be cogent and concise.

I personally love it, and I thought about claiming the Chicago Handshake as a single drink, but in the end Old Style by itself is both more universal and more iconic.

Maybe try again without the misogyny.

It’s a Chicago dog and a can of Old Style, and it’s not close.

There are times when it’s relevant and times when it’s not, and the latter is a lot more prevalent.

But on reddit, the real reason is because about three years ago reddit admit let mod teams know that misgendering anyone was a violation of site-wide rule one, and if we mods didn’t crack down on it, the admin would crack down on US.

Insisting on gender-neutral language is a way to keep clear of that.

If I only did what was necessary, my life would be pretty miserable.

So you should just treat the person you’re interested in like you would any other person.

But flirting is how I treat every other person!

It’s my last day before the weekend, so I just kinda try to make as much money as possible knowing I’ll get to sleep in tomorrow.

How clean is the ground? How wet is the food? These are the questions.

I am never going to use an official government service to sign in to a porn site.

And I very much doubt that’s just a “me” thing.

Replying opened the spoiler for me, but:

1. English (native)
2. Spanish (school)
3. Esperanto (self-taught)
4. Latin (university)

I can also count to five in German, and I used to know 1-10 in Swahili, but now only remember that “moja means one”
