Skill gap, I guess. Better theoretical performance/efficiency with better skill.

Not worth the effort to me. There's enough to focus on without having to worry about shifting.

Yes, if ANY form of name calling is marked, it will now be moderated for flaming. No matter how tame or harsh you consider the name. Allen has opted for an all rule for flaming.

The only exception he pointed out was things that are clearly in jest.

I eagerly await the results. Hopefully this experiment works.

Its as if they took the biggest issue that people were complaining about the most and did their best to make it even worse. This whole thing is nonsense and TC's ppost is a great example of how shitty this place is becoming. NannyFAQs, SafeSpaceFAQs, there's a reason these new insults popped up.

The biggest issue with the site is the toxicity of the userbase. The moderation system is a byproduct of that.

Ideally, the moderation changes will discourage toxic behavior, either by providing incentive for those elements to stop their behavior, or encourage them to leave.

I'm grateful that in my line of work "that's not my job" doesn't put me on a shit list - because if I say that, it's because it is quite literally someone else's job. I could do it, but I'm sure as hell not trained for it, and someone else who is is going to be better at it.

I'm more than happy to have a look and then find someone whose job it is, so I can go back to my job.

That said, "that's not in my skill set" is my phrasing.

Unbiased news doesn't exist unless you go out of your way to gather your information from multiple sources. Even aggregate sites tend to lean one way or the other.

Like, how long as WaPo been the hot mess that it is?

WaPo is fine. Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, has only the average American worker in his mind when he decides what goes in his paper :)

Likewise Murdoch?


Indeed.

Has the liberal press brainwashed you so much that you think anyone who says our media is a big sham must be a Fox news loving Trump supporter?

I'm jaded enough to know that bias is widespread and people tend to only call out the facts that suit their position.

So no, not anyone. But enough of them.

Yeah, I'm not making excuses. Just talking about things that I enjoy. Right now it's a relationship of mutual comfort. We can go out and enjoy things that are clearly bad for us without judging each other.

There's just not a concern if one or the other gains a few pounds. There's no threshold of insta-shun, "get off me, you're hideous". Sure, we work it off later - her more easily than I - but there's just fewer worries.

And a whole lot more comfortable. The confidence is refreshing and inspiring.

fat shaming

It's not unreasonable to expect the person you might be spending years with to put even the slightest bit of effort into maintaining their physical health.

It's also not unreasonable to recognize the fact that excessive fat is not sexually attractive.

Opinion. But eh. I just enjoy that the chubby girl I'm dating doesn't shy away from the same delicious food and drink I enjoy.
