I wish I could upvote you twice.

I clicked the link and thought, I’ll read this and be done. RIF is also kaput. I’ve decided to keep it installed because all my Reddit links default to RIF and this way I won’t accidentally give Reddit any traffic.

unless they’ve uploaded his consciousness to another computer, which I don’t think they can do yet… if you destroy the machine, you destroy the man.

also according to this strangely written article the design request in question was fabricated …

I’m already disheartened after a single day because I did in fact engage in a thoughtful discourse but was summarily reprimanded. I was hoping this environment would be different than the echo chamber that was Reddit.

I don’t tolerate hate speech, on either side of the fence.

frankly I’m a little concerned by it. I want my opinions to be valued if I’m going to share them. frankly I already don’t feel welcome and this is literally day two and not even a political /m/.

how did this discussion devolve into Nazis? I’m afraid you’re probably part of the problem.

it’s important to see that both sides have extremes and to assume that anyone who tips the scale “left” or “right” is somehow more right or more wrong is what keeps us from being able to find common ground. turning the words “conservative” and “liberal” into slurs is equally damaging. we both have ways of lashing out at each other when we are not the enemy. I bet we can agree that extremism is dangerous regardless of which side of the fence it resides on.

I got banned from r/softwaregore for editing my comment … if that counts

I find this line of thinking to be flawed. If race can be excluded as a factor for consideration, how is the most qualified people getting ahead a bad thing? I couldn’t get into Harvard even if I had good blackmail on the Dean. Maybe I don’t understand the argument but that’s my take.
