Comment IMGUR? (Score 1) 474

IMGUR.com has begun aggressively enforcing heretofore unenforced content bans (the non-enforcement of which has grown them into the community they now are). It's apparent this change is motivated by advertisers, as ads-as-content have begun appearing that are immune from the same moderation that regular content is subject to.

IMGUR also hosts the images from Reddit, so there's lots of porn on their servers making it very ironic that they now ban any NSFW content.

FARK.com went through a similar "cleansing" a while back, again motivated by the desire for advertising revenue. I moved to IMGUR as an alternative to FARK.

So if Voat is an alternative to Reddit, what is an IMGUR-like alternative to IMGUR?

Comment Religious Freedom Means . . . (Score 1) 1168

"Religious Freedom" means that you can believe as you wish free of government control or mandate, not that you can force others to believe what you believe or others can be forced to act in ways contrary to their beliefs, but consistent with yours.

The Bible is full of stories of real-world penalties that are to be paid for following your beliefs, including death. These modern believers want their outward expression of their beliefs to be free of any real-world consequences from people who do not share those beliefs. That's not how any of this works.

Comment Share Your Life Lessons (Score 1) 698

Share anecdotes from your past where you learned a life lesson, especially where you made a mistake or bad choice and learned from it. That way it comes across as not so much a morality lecture and more the loving, caring advice you want to share. It provides context. It humanizes you. It makes a bigger impact on her. And it makes a connection from you to her that will endure as she lives her life and raises her children.
