Is this a new rule going forward, or are they going to nuke Duncan and Sunhawk's current alts?It's not retroactive. Anyone currently able to post, even if they have past bans can continue to do so as long as they follow the rules.
By promoting consistency in moderation and addressing specific issues such as hornyposting, ban/purg evasion, and trolling we aim to create a more welcoming and inclusive space for all users.But yeah this was technically announced with the other changes. Though for obvious reasons it went under the radar and very few people actually knew this was a new change. The worst people know how to get around this system, but those are also the kind of people who have gimmicks obvious enough to spot them or can't help but out themselves. They're doing it for the attention in the first place, so it's not fun for them if nobody knows who they are.
Heat death which will lead to collapse. Its impossible that the universe is rapidly expanding as theres really no reason for it to. You would need a massive amount of mass being created currently and I dont recall seeing much evidence of that. If you believe in thermodynamics and even mildly in some parts of evolution I dont see why any conclusion other than an eventual Big Crunch would be the endgame.You should avoid speaking so confidently on a subject you definitely don't know anything about.
The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe recollapses, ultimately causing the cosmic scale factor to reach zero, an event potentially followed by a reformation of the universe starting with another Big Bang. The vast majority of evidence indicates that this hypothesis is not correct. Instead, astronomical observations show that the expansion of the universe is accelerating rather than being slowed by gravity, suggesting that a Big Chill is more likely.
Would heat death really end the universe or just everything in it making it q big empty universe?Can't really say, but everything in it would be gone. Either reduced to electrons and neutrinos or gone gone. Without any observers it'd be about the same either way.
I don't remember, was thiswhen fluffy went joyboy or was it when he became giant? The cartoonist animations for joyboy is there because he basically has loony tunes superpower. I can appreciate that, the show was always silly like that.
If they cared about traffic they wouldnt be doing everything to kill gamefaqs since purchaseThey almost certainly do care about site traffic. My guide for FFVII: Rebirth is getting cross-linked into FF Wikis or something like that. Probably the same for the Q&A I'm required to fill out as part of the game bounty too. I think Fandom willingly bringing back the bounty program, and not only that but developing entirely new tools to encourage flow to the site shows that they believe in GameFAQ's as a money-maker. If nothing else.
Doesn't any mods have any blithe remarks that they want to post itt? Those are usually my favorite whenever a topic is about to be locked. It's like in shows when the cop hurls an insult at the perpetrator they just captured and beat up, always makes for a humorous scene.We were told in advance and got most of our angst out ahead of time. :P
Also! I can't see how CE really impacts anything else on the site. You need to go looking for it.As a Guide Writer I can say that they do want the answers section to be a bigger part of the site. Bounties now require a certain number of Q&A to be filled out by the author of the guide. I highly doubt they're planning on tossing out the boards. Even just from like, a pure practicality standpoint. A lot of information on this site is contained in random posts on random boards or stickies. That's basically free SEO.
I wonder if they'll try and shutter the boards entirely. Maybe have the answers section only. A quora of gaming.
they should have announced this on april 1stI might be saying too much here but fuck it. They almost did? There was going to be an announcement (not on CE being walled) on the 31st and then the walling was supposed to be I think the 3rd of April. Things happened and it got pushed back, but yeah it would have been close enough to april fools that people would have thought it was a late joke.
What about the current events topics that take place on the NGS social board? That contains alot of charged, extreme right wing discussion on world politics, generally. Will that be deleted, or remain as is?Depends. Political discussion as it relates directly to gaming is still allowed. A lot of things also still aren't technically a political issue even if politicians like to make it that way. For example, I certainly wouldn't be moderating posts talking about the BLM stuff in Spider Man games. For one, when I was in the military we were explicitly told that BLM is not a political statement, and that soldiers were allowed to participate. And for two, it's in the game itself. People can totally talk about that.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/89ef1207.jpgSay what you will, from my viewpoint this place has gotten better. Well, maybe not the Isreal threads. But overall better. The level limit on CE really helped keep a lot of the lower-effort trolls out.
he really said "hornyposting"It amuses me that a, I think Director of Trust and Safety used this term in an official capacity.
This is the beginning of them closing down all the social boards for good, isnt it?Probably not. I can't say too much on the subject, but the goal is not to close down all social boards. From the announcement post their primary concern is toxicity. CE is essentially being spared the hammer on political talks, as long as people retain some modicum of decorum. Any other social board should be fine since they're not related to politics.
What the hell is hornyposting, anyways?You're allowed to talk about if people are cute / attractive / maybe even sexy. You aren't allowed to make posts that would make say, a 13 year old girl visiting GameFAQs feel like this is a hostile environment towards women.
Posting pic of woman and asking if she is readyie: Stuff like this. Don't do this anymore.
Bet the reddit cesspool is stocking up on alts as we speak! lolProbably too late for them.
Is this the guy who was also saying Japan would defend Taiwan? If it is, that guy just wants Japan to be allowed into military combat.He's LDP, and like most members of LDP he's in the ultra-nationalist Nippon Kaigi. So yeah, this speech is almost certainly him trying to drum up support to get Japan's warfighting sanctions lifted. Convert the SDF into a full standing military, pretend you're doing it for world peace, but really all they want is to start shooting at China and Korea again.
It's based off browsing history, so I have a theory.Yes and no. People who click right-wing sites for the sake of being outraged get sent more of it because from the perspective of the algorithms a click is a click. People on the internet these days love seeking shit they hate so they have a reason to be mad, and the internet is more than happy to feed it back to them and keep them trapped in their own torment.
Discussing Swampys death and the whistleblower lawsuit he left behind, the longtime former Boeing executive told me, I dont think one can be cynical enough when it comes to these guys. Did that mean he thought Boeing assassinated Swampy? Its a top-secret military contractor, remember; there are spies everywhere, he replied. More importantly, he added, there is a principle in American law that there is no such thing as an accidental death during the commission of a felony. Lets say you rob a bank and while traveling at high speed in the getaway you run down a pedestrian and kill them. Thats second-degree murder at the very least.
(snip)It's the Tiffany scene. In particular.
Thought the original guy got exposed early on, while the show lasted 3 seasonsAfter looking into it it seems you're right. I'd always heard he was the reason it got canned. Regardless the rest is still relatively true. The creatives fought hard to keep it going and I wish it had. I found a lot of the more mundane plots rather relatable.
Out of the two, which is turn best to start?Depends on taste. The AT characters can start off screechy and annoying for many people but gets way better once it starts delving more into story. If you want a story that starts off very childish but grows more mature over time start there.
Ive never seen this or Adventure Time. Theyre on HBO, so maybe theyre worth checking out.They're both great. Regular Show follows a very predictable formula. Mordecai and Rigby get assigned a task, don't want to do that task because something cool is happening and / or they get distracted. This somehow almost immediately spirals out of control into a world-ending disaster which then has to be resolved usually in a way related to their initial task but in a way that means they have even more work than if they'd just done their job from the start. Somehow, it never gets boring.
It was my first introduction to the idea of a Tessaract. Blew a few adults minds when they brought them up and I already knew what they were about.Was that the episode where they had to solve equations and like, they arbitrarily got powers / curses associated with the equations they got? So one kid gets a brief chance to explore teleportation by solving for d=s/t and setting t = 0 or something like that. I remember the teacher being really frustrated because he wanted to play with the powers.
Strange Days at Blake Holsey HighI dont think I've ever met someone who watched this show besides me. It was one of my favorites during the period my dad forced me to only watch Discovery because it was "educational".
You should be demoted from moderator for this tbhhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBYd2mXIu6c
Real talk. Adventure Time and RS came out around the same time, when CN was doing that dumb reality thing, Nick was doing nothing, and disney was stuck on teen girl dramas. AT pretty much saved that entire era and inspired everything after it.Okay, but Destroy Build Destroy kind of ruled.
Don't most (all?) already have a 13+ policy anyways? Even this place has had that since the 90's.COPPA basically says you can't collect info on kids. Most sites collect info. Therefore, kids can't have accounts. As far as I can tell this bill is utterly meaningless unless he creates new enforceability standards. As is, COPPA compliance forces websites to not allow accounts to people 12 and below. So maybe DeSantis just wanted to expand the limit by 2 years for some reason.
To answer the topic title: labor unions.And that 40 was a compromise as well iirc. Things have been sliding back towards longer hours lately too. Not unusual to have companies do crunch for 60+ hours a week.
Capitalists decided "nearly every waking moment" until we started fighting back.
But there is absolutely still progress to be made here.
Yes probably even Mr.Beast contests.Pretty sure there was controversy about this actually. Two people who took 2nd and 3rd place in the real event found out on the uploaded video that they were declared losers so two bigger channels could have the winning spots to promote the event better.
Serial Experiments Lain (moreso from a "WTF is going on?" pojnt of view than it being violent or anything)Maybe it's the benefit of hindsight but Lain was pretty easy to grasp for me. Her online persona had pretty much taken on a life of it's own and Lain was having an identity crisis as the boundary between her online "wired" self and her real life self blurred together; especially as the online communities built around her started working towards trying to get in touch with and meet the "real" lain. I dunno, it always kind of felt like Perfect Blue to me. It was probably a lot harder to grasp back when it was new and people had yet to fully understand the ramifications of what the Internet would be like and how totally it would consume our lives.
NoReminds me of my middle school. There were these vending machines that had a rather serious fault. They were kept in cages to prevent theft, but if any person touched the cage and any metal part of the vending machine at the same time (ie: The dispensing tray...) then you would get a shock. It was like playing a game of operation every time you wanted a soda. You'd also get shocked if you pushed the coin return.
but I did get stung by the absorbed current for some reason
my hands were on the wooden interior of one of our windows as I was leaning to watch the strikes since it rarely happens around here
got stung twice so I just stepped away and I quit watching
you should thank your lucky stars you don't get account suicides in your mod queue anymore.Still happens. Not that often, but it does still happen. I know some people who handle moderation for the big sites though and yeesh. Wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemies.
and i dont mean the good ones with rare porn. or the lousy ones with porn everyone's seen. i mean.....those other kind of ones (gore, snuff, mutilation, etc).
man, 2006 gamefaqs sure was wild.
