If there was a bot that just flooded All with far right talking points, do you think admins ought to block that or leave it to the users?

What if it was far right mixed in with cat memes?

What if it started more slowly like a few posts an hour and then ramped up over 6 months to be 1000s of posts per hour?

Exactly, I hereby decide that I would like to ignore corporate efforts to undermine this burgeoning new platform. I furthermore reserve the right to complain about the loss of said platform in future years by claiming that it's everyone elses fault for allowing corporate encroachment.

Yeah look, everyone has to find their own way, I'm not trying to make the case that catch & release is going to be better for everyone, and there's certainly a case to be made for archiving.

The thing that eventually got me was maintaining a big raid array. Lots of heat, power, drives dying every now and again. When it only takes a few minutes to download something and I never go near my bandwidth quota (or it's unlimited maybe) going to catch & release made a lot of sense. I'm not religious about it but I generally delete things after I've listened / watched.

I've been catch and release for 5 years or so now.

Archiving is such a huge drain on time / effort / resources.

Yeah this thread is a bit silly.

I hate oversized US wank tanks, but anyone can see just from the cover image that this isn't a factory product. As you said, it's sold as the cab & chassis. The tub and lift (and a bunch of other things) are custom.

That said, I completely agree that the US has lost it's fucking mind, but if we're going to make that assertion lets build it on something real.

Wars are won with logistics. What resupply infrastructure do these guys have in place?

Do the states have aircraft carriers?

I don't know much about such things but I wonder whether it's possible in any meaningful way.

If there's a split they don't just divvy up the toys and have at it.

One side might have a few things on wheels and tracks, but can they call in an air strike? Will they even have GPS?

The phrase "baseless assumptions" does not mean that no base was provided. It means that the purported base is inadequate to support a causal likelihood that the assumptions are true.

Besides which, your argument is one of semantics, which you're welcome to.

Some of the best / most nuanced medical advice I've ever received is from online forums.

I think what you really mean is "don't risk your life on the basis of advice from strangers".

Note that all the other answers ITT say "yes anything that elevates your HR is dangerous", so OP knows not to play that type of game before his next appointment with his cardiologist, which could be weeks or months away.

Had they not asked, they wouldn't know to avoid that activity.
