That is ridiculous. If the mods have an opinion about what you're saying, they should reply, not remove the comment like cowards.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Downvotes are my favorite part of this kind of comment system. I know that, per the rules, "downvotes aren't for disagreement", but most people don't respect that and I think it's asinine. Both kinds of votes are a valuable way of contributing to a discussion without having to spend the time and effort to write a comment.

That's interesting, I've only ever had Visa for credit cards and MasterCard for debit. I didn't even know Visa did debit.

I see one comment like that, and they couched that opinion in so much praise for the steam deck that your reaction to it seems way over the top.

They're right, though.

CHAZ was so much catchier than CHOP.

Why not? Rosemary is lovely.

The title is, though.

I want to know how polar bears figured out that they need an air hole in their dens. Is that passed down instinctually or demonstratively? Animals are so cool.

My car got stolen this morning. I feel this in my soul.

Am I the only one who finds this kind of wild? You're in the shit room, you shouldn't expect others to be ashamed of their bowel movements there. Get earplugs, I guess?

I know this isn't the way it's supposed to work "per the rules", but I think downvotes are an incredible tool for discussion. It's a way to simply and clearly make your opinion known without taking the time to write a comment. But because Spez and co. decided that downvotes "aren't supposed to work that way" 20 years ago, the worst people on the internet will scold you for using the voting system just like everyone else does.

Rating inflation. If someone called you a 5 or 6 out of 10, you'd feel bad. 7/10 is the bottom of acceptability, just like 72° is room temperature.

He meant the condoms, lol

I mean, that part isn't really at issue here. It's fundamentally the same technique that's been used since the 90's, famously on To Catch a Predator. Seemingly, the "entrapment" angle has been settled.

The correct answer.

He just really wanted to impress his hot cousin!

You're referencing one specific tweet of a guy talking about his dad, and the fact that I know that makes me want to scream.

I sincerely doubt that a covert arm of the Chinese propaganda machine would label themselves as Marxist-Leninist.
