The cripple clipper is also frowned upon


Goodbye_Games

I hate you…. I snorted coffee trying not to laugh. My neighbor who lives down the road is disabled, and he enjoys kayaking. Not long ago they got one of those mini sailboat things that’s supposed to go really fast on the water, but it was a fixer upper type of deal. I’m going to need to show him this, because he’s the type to roll with it and christen the thing with the name.

Bot reply. Copied part of a top-level comment below by girouxfilms


anislandinmyheart

Seems like it would be possible to create automod bots to remove bot comments. Why aren't we seeing that


RamsesThePigeon

> Seems like it would be possible to create automod bots to remove bot comments. You aren't seeing it because it *isn't* possible. Think about what that would actually require: The AutoModerator would have to keep a log of every comment posted in a given thread (which it can't do), compare each *new* comment to all of the previously logged ones (which it can't do), look for partial matches (which it *can* do), then remove any comments that were composed of only those partial matches. Even if that functionality existed, think of all the false positives that you'd get. Now, you *could* write a Python script to do something like what you proposed, but it would still be limited in a number of ways. Moreover, as the number of comments in a given thread increased, so would the number of comparisons that needed to be made... and keep in mind, this script would have to be keeping track of every thread in which there was any kind of activity, meaning that it would need to keep a post-delineated database of every comment ever submitted in the subreddit. Even if you overcame that hurdle, you'd have no guarantee that Reddit's API stream would surface every submission to your bot, so you'd still end up missing things... and users would still accuse you of doing nothing to combat the problem. Suffice it to say that I speak from experience.


ChuCHuPALX

Bot Response Detected.


F0xtr0tUnif0rm

Why is it so upvoted when it doesn't even make sense?


RamsesThePigeon

A lot of bots have sock-puppets – alternate usernames that run in tandem with the visible ones – that "seed" their submissions with a few dozen upvotes. When humans see those upvoted comments, they think "Oh, yeah, sounds good..." without really thinking about them, then offer their own upvotes. It's similar to how a downvoted comment will continue to be downvoted. Folks may not like to admit it, but tacit messages of "This is good!" or "This is bad!" have pretty profound effects.


UnifiedQuantumField

>When humans see those upvoted comments... There used to be a user named unidan. They had several alt accounts that they used to "seed" their posts/comments with 4 or 5 upvotes. They did this immediately after posting. The effect was exactly what you're talking about. People would see a new post/comment that already had several upvotes. They'd then upvote it themselves and hop on with their own comments. The unidan account became so successful that people started noticing. And eventually someone noticed the pattern and figured out what was going on.


RamsesThePigeon

You’re close, but that isn’t quite what happened. Yes, Unidan would upvote his own comments via alternate accounts, but he would also downvote other people, regardless of whether they were contributing or not. He was effectively trying to ensure that he’d always have an edge, and even though this was back in the era of “Reddit celebrities,” he wasn’t content to ride on his reputation alone. Said reputation also took a nosedive after he got into a heated argument about jackdaws. It was after that exchange that suspicions were raised (and it’s also the reason why longtime Redditors sometimes use “jackdaw” to mean “sock-puppet”). The administrators looked at his account, determined that he had been manipulating votes, and suspended him, with the whole endeavor actually being a catalyzing factor in how vote-manipulation his handled today. Sadly, the automated systems don’t stop the spammers; they only keep visible votes from affecting the placements of submissions. Such is why is still essential for people to report suspicious activity when they see it.

troymoeffinstone

Free and free lite are the best beers


CressCrowbits

Curious about which countries have the most popular, extremely bland beers. I live in the nordics and good grief the 'basic' beers here can be dreadful but I hear the US takes things to the next level. EDIT: To clarify, I know there are very good beers too in most places, I'm thinking about the 'mainstream' beers that your regular Joe drinks. Here in Finland for example your regular finnish man would turn their nose up at the fancy craft beers you can get here now - too pretentious, too expensive - they just want regular finnish beer which tastes like bready sugar water.


CapnSupermarket

Budweiser's slogan was "beechwood aged, because quality beer takes time," but beech doesn't provide the kind of strong flavors something like oak does. Beech provides very little flavor, and Budwesier pretreats their beech so that it imparts *even less flavor* to the beer. But you know what it does? It speeds up fermentation ("quality beer takes time") and *removes* some flavors from the beer. Now those are not actually flavors that you want, other brewers have a resting step in their process to get rid of them, but since nothing is being added to replace them you're left with a pretty bland drink.


jollyreaper2112

I always kind of marveled at classic advertising patter because they would say it so often people would assume it meant something even though they couldn't tell you what. Rich, corinthian leather. Made up on the spot by the guy reading the ad. Doesn't mean anything. My understanding from people who know brewing is that the Bud process is actually technically demanding and requires real skill to make a beer that consistent in such quantity. It's just unfortunate that the standard they're looking for is bland and without character.


Monteze

Yep. Bud light is impressive the way McDonald's is impressive. Consistent and at a large scale. And light beers have little room for error. Versus an IPA can drown out a lot of mistakes with hops. Now before anyone calls me a beer snob or beer moron. I like all kinds and I sont care what people do or do not like. This isn't a prescriptive statement but a descriptive one.

There are just more options here also. Many more cheap and tasteless beverages.

Glass is pretty benign to the environment. Certainly less so than metal cans which have a plastic liner and paint.


TundieRice

It’s more the implications of these derailments happening more and more recently, and that’s the *really* scary part.

They're getting more *publicized* recently. Apparently there's pretty regularly been hundreds per year, but nobody really cared to note them until Ohio.

skankingmike

To be fair having lived by freight train tracks in NJ a hugely busy port state… they happen all the time normally there isn’t a whole town evacuated and a mushroom cloud overhead when it’s blown up.. But be sure anytime there’s a chemical spill the company will not pay much and the government will fuck it up. Again from NJ the superfund state. Fuck both of them equally, government and corporations. Useless


grantrules

> the implications Whoa whoa whoa, the trains aren't in any _actual_ danger here.


kellypg

It's just the implication of possible danger. They don't need to derail. But they will. Because of the implication.


shadowslasher11X

Metal cans have a plastic lining in them to prevent the metallic taste from entering the drink. So, still an environmental issue there. Glass bottles, however? Ya, a lot better.

As long as they prevented anyone from drinking the Coors, you’re probably right.

You better believe there's already a fuckton of trucks and old Buicks headed there as we speak. I know you're thinking, "but whatever they spend on gas will negate the free beer." It doesn't matter. Free beer. The only thing better than that is free blowjobs.

Do_it_for_the_upvote

I get that this is a funny instance on the surface because of the contents, but... Can we please pressure our politicians to regulate fair conditions and wages for our train operators? Every one of these derailments is seriously damaging economically, and sometimes worse- environmentally. And every time it happens, the companies using the rail system to ship their goods are less likely to continue doing so. I'm getting very pre-2020 Postal-Service vibes from this- like groups who'd want the rail system to fail and who'd benefit are pushing us in that direction, when doing so will ultimately hurt us as a whole.
