Why should everyone be allowed to participate 100%?

I carved the name of my crush in the 4th grade on the underside of my bed, then got worried that my family might find it, so I wrote the rest of my friends' names there too.

Why should someone else feel any obligation to help someone they don't want to talk to get over their issues. There is a reason people pay good money for counseling, because this shit is tiresome.

Making an alt because someone muted you is just pathetic. Sometimes a person won't be liked, sometimes it won't be fair, sometimes it won't be their fault, sometimes it will all be a big misunderstanding. For fucks sake, a person has to move on with their life and get over these kinds of not even bumps in the road.

Unless it's too perfect. Like magick perfect. Like One Ring perfect. Then it's time to find the nearest volcano.

I love trashy TV. Sister wives, real housewives, ect. The worse the show the more I love it. No apologies, I've accepted what I am :)

The secret is to only work without sleep when the rest of the team is too. If only you are writing nonsense you slow everyone down, but if everyone is writing nonsense you're all writing the same bugs and grumping at each other for them, and being irritated keeps you focused. Then you can distill some pretty solid code out of nonsense and profanity.

I don't recommend working that way, but it's always pretty funny in retrospect.

Wow. The woman who posts all of those weekly reading threads likes trashy TV. I'm speechless.

Is this how you live your life? Fixing all the people who are broken? Do you go around showing everyone who is wrong what is right, making all the cruel people gentle, making all the poor sufficiently comfortable, healing the sick?

Everyone well balanced sane person has to draw a line between helping others and maintain their own sanity, health, happiness and welfare. It's really not for you to impose a line in which someone like kleine00 (or anyone else for that matter) has to play ego therapist for someone else.

I hope you have at least PMed qiy and started to help him work through this trauma, by your stated creed it's the least you could do.

I've got Plex running on a Mac Mini. Problem is, when you're running both the head and the server on one device you lose efficiencies.

...and when your Mac Mini was new in 2007 you start tripping over your 1080P.

an rPi XBMC head seems like a delightfully tinkerish method of resolving the problem.

I came here as a result of this post

I suspect that so long as you steer clear of the GPI header for a while you're likely to be fine. It's only once you get into control voltages that smoke can be let out in programming.

Nepotist  ·  4577 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Are there any mods on this site?

Hubski's mechanics are a bit different from the other sites I've frequented, but I don't know of any good website that isn't moderated in some way. Admittedly, 4chan isn't too bad, but there isn't any way to get any more specific than what the site has predefined, as far as I know. I like the Autos section, for instance, but most of the threads aren't interesting, so you still have to browse through a bunch of turds to find a gem. If a system of accountability was incorporated where you could see what, or who, was banned, and by who, then we can probably avoid the problem of bad moderation.

Another thing mk could also do is incorporate a system where you subscribe or unsubscribe to people as moderators, so if you disagree with that person on what is and isn't appropriate, you could unsubscribe so that their moderation doesn't affect your Hubski experience. I don't know if this would really be a good idea since it could complicate things. I think a system of accountability would probably be better.
