I stopped posting questions onto Stack Overflow after experiencing two user-hostile practices of theirs.

The first was how they would repeatedly mark my posts as dupes when in reality they weren't. Sure, my questions had large overlaps with existing questions. But mine had sufficient nuanced differences that my questions warranted being open.

The second is how they would repeatedly rewrite my posts. And extensively so! It no longer sounded like it was written by me. And any sense of warmth or humanity of my posts were entirely stripped away! So sterile and cold. I have to tell you, having a post that you spend time composing, only to have some moderators a-hole rewrite it is a very negative feeling. And to see a message posted publicly to the web with my username next to it, as though I'm the one that wrote it, is wrong.

Stack Overflow brought their death to themselves.

Oh, they do exist. And they do comment their thoughts on immigration in the German subreddit. I know because I was one of them. I expressed a reasonable statement that culture will change as a factor of massive immigration from foreign nations to Germany and that we should ask as Germans or people of the West if that is something we want. And guess what? I got banned instantly from the German subreddit. So the fact that Germany is socially tearing apart and we are seeing large movements to the right, but yet the discourse of right-wing opinions being absent from the German subreddit is not a coincidence. It's missing because that is intentional by the moderators. The moderators don't allow any discourse that challenges the approved narrative. And this is a very good example of why polling Reddit to get a sense of cultural views is actually a bad idea because the moderators shape out a world of their own that is not reflective of the real world views.

I have the same sentiment. But I didn't finish past the first few sentences. The English is poorly written.

Title of video is, "Steve Jobs, speech at the Apple campus". It was recorded July 27, 1999

“It’s good to kill Nazis” — this is certainly the prevailing sentiment in modern culture, reinforced by the vast number of books, stories, movies, and video games that support the premise. But something important is often overlooked in this view of righteousness:

1. People who believe they could never become Nazis are often the most unknowingly susceptible to it.

2. People who believe they can confidently identify a Nazi are often wrong — a mindset akin to witch hunts, where everyone is seen as a witch.

Well shoot. I just ordered a Mudita Kompakt (minimalist smartphone) to help tackle my phone addiction. Seeing the Apple Configurator allows me to define what apps can be installed and the ability to remove official apps such as Safari or the App Store, now I'm wondering if I just want to stick to my iPhone and do this or use my Kompakt when it arrives.

Have you tried paying for Facebook ads for it? My app gets traction that way.

I attended a Japanese elementary school in California. It served food just as you described. Fresh and made onsite.

I then transitioned to a typical American public school. I was disappointed to find my only option was cheap, factory made, mass produced, strangely flavored and textured food. This stark contrast and downgrade has made me forever passionate about the topic of improving school lunches.

I’ll have to give this a read! It reminds me of this quote often attributed to Mark Twain (although not verified):

“For example, in year 1 that useless letter ‘c’ would be dropped to be replased either by ‘k’ or ‘s’, and likewise ‘x’ would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which ‘c’ would be retained would be the ‘ch’ formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform ‘w’ spelling, so that ‘which’ and ‘one’ would take the same konsonant, wile year 3 might well abolish ‘y’ replasing it with ‘i’ and Iear 4 might fiks the ‘g/j’ anomali wonse and for all. … After this bakward progression, there would be no more trubl with kommas, semikolons, etc.”
