I'm actually quite happy to put them in spam. If there is, for instance, a university that some kid who has no business in university (I'm looking at you, "Cor Ey", and if by some small chance you are, in fact, reading this you are, in fact, an idiot) signs up for with a bogus address, and they don't send a fucking confirmation link, they deserve to have their outgoing emails marked as spam.
Same goes for cable bills, etc. The people who's responsibility it was to make sure those emails don't get to me are... not me. Maybe if someone's cable gets cut off for nonpayment because their bills went into the spam folder, instead of the snail mail box as God and Ben Franklin intended, they'll work harder at getting their own fucking email address right.
If it's a personal email, I mail them back and let them know they've got the wrong guy. If it's some web site that they've signed up for, I'll try to log in and leave a comment to their profile. I've gone as far as poked around for phone numbers and called and texted them (that freaks people out, but... not my problem). I'll also often change the email to "not(address)@(domain)" and even sometimes randomize the password.
Some of the no reply ones I've marked as spam, and there's at least a couple of people (individuals) who I've emailed back more than once and told them I'm not their guy. No response, and continued emails. Those go into the spam folder also.
That was my immediate thought. It's a lot faster to save off programs using that than reading them out into a cassette player!
Is there an RPG that has a soap and water class?
If there is enough demand for a voluntary-anarchist society, then the market will provide it!
The purpose of government is to bring economy of scale to projects that would fail if profit were the sole motivator.
Voluntary exchange of goods and/or services is not the only way the majority make their "demand" known. More to the point: if the majority wanted a voluntary-anarchist stateless society, we'd have that.
Time was, food wasn't inspected, water wasn't clean, and buildings weren't built to code. People died as a result. Everyone who says "the market will take care of that" forgets that the market didn't, until the government said they had to.
Anybody on Facebook needs to STFU about "government tracking you online". Facebook sells more to its advertisers than the government will ever know about you.
Require that abuse reports include a freeform description of why the suspected content violates the rules.
Then, don't ask the jurors whether the content violates the rules. Instead, ask them: Is (the freeform description) a true statement about the suspected content?
In other words: someone reports content for violation of TOS. Reason: "This content contains nudity."
The juror then gets the moderation request, and they answer a single question. Is: "This content contains nudity" true about the suspected content?
You're not judging the rules; you're judging the evidence.
Go ahead. Keep defending people's right to be dicks.
Right. God forbid that we should display some simple human decency and maybe some sensitivity.
What the fuck has happened to people? This is a mother mourning her child, for god's sake. I'm not giving much of a fuck right now about a multi-billion dollar corporation and their next license to print money.
If having some basic human decency is "politically correct" then fuckin' A. I'm as politically correct as they come.
...is that maybe it's too soon to be making a game about a war that is currently in progress, with parents welcoming their sons home in boxes.
Just my opinion.
Seriously, it is true. Yes, I know this from experience.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
