  I would take being on the computer all day over being stuck in traffic as shown in the image. I would even say I prefer it to either walking or cycling down a street designed like this.

  It sucks that streets like this are considered normal in car dependent north american cities.

  We need more transit (that has its own dedicated lane), and cities/towns that are designed for people as opposed to cars.

  Bold of you to assume that hell is not, in actual fact, Reddit. :-P

  (like this but with Reddit icon, which I am too lazy to put on thus… do I lose my Reddi-troll-dentials?)

    Fucking reddit. This asshat had been harassing me for months, blatantly violating reddit TOS and then eventually somehow I got banned instead of him. What a shithole.

      I have seen - in multiple subs, across multiple years - evidence where someone will take something like every post or perhaps random ones but it’s especially obvious in megathreads, and just downvote EVERY SINGLE COMMENT inside of it, regardless of content. It becomes really really super obvious when you look at it like 2 hours later, and there are >100 comments all with scores of "0"s or other obvious patterns like an extremely helpful reply that even a day later still has merely a “1”, but then the last 5 replies to the newest comments all have "1"s. And you can see the precise demarkation between them i.e. you can determine roughly what time the bot (or human, whatever) ran. And it goes on for YEARS and YEARS, just this constant background of “noise” that runs behind most conversations across the whole sub, unless they are deeply buried and occur days after the OP.

      I also have screenshots of people on Discord asking for precisely this to be done. The people asking were themselves mods iirc. There is a term for this btw, and it is called “brigading”. One time something similar happened to a small sub that I was modding on Reddit, and in that case he was actually banned from the much larger Reddit sub that he was on - by those mods tbc, not Reddit admins - and then we spent the next year trying to get the guy banned each time he spun up a new account, but spoke in the same mannerisms etc. Finally Reddit admins did manage to ban the one guy, confirming as they did that he used at least 3 different accounts. So that’s +1 for Reddit, yay, except it took them a whole year, plus they won’t get up off their butts to do anything about any of the other people that were also doing similar stuff to us.

      And the sheer irony, the arrogance, of it all, is that Huffman claims THAT to be the value-add that Reddit provides to people who want to communicate with one another!? Here, if someone is being a big meanie to you, and neither the mods nor the instance admins are helping, you can literally fuck right off and in the worst case, spin up your own entire instance and have full control, or at least find a friendly, like-minded place if that’s not your thing. It takes effort to leave, yeah, and especially to find a new place, but it WORKS, and that makes all the difference in the world.

      It’s like hearing a crying baby on an airplane - if you are superman you can just open the door, close it again and fly away:-P, there is simply no need at all to put up with people that literally refuse to control themselves (ofc that case is more understandable, but when the baby in question is 10, 20, 30, 40, even 50+ years old… it becomes far less so:-D).

      So pity them - I assure you that like the crying baby example, their own personal life is not at all happy - but yeah also take care of yourself, even/especially if they refuse to:-|.

  The word “computer” should be changed to “commute”.
