That system was laid out too late into human development, though it's still possible it just needs to be given time. Though that won't stop me from using my own system.

Either too much or too little depending on who we're talking about. You have the people who will amass a protest in the thousands because one person was mistreated and sometimes only a single person who will react at all when a thousand are mistreated. And people wonder why sociopathy exists.

I bet they'd find that extremely helpful.

What do you mean?

One could say I believe in what amounts to a few simultaneously (it's "complicated"), and they all imply rules that adherents shouldn't impose. I have a friend who identifies as a Baha'i (and another who has a history of Scientology in his family if not also identifying as a Buddhist) and they impose more than I do.

It depends on the form of strike. Are they outside with "Krusty Krab Is Funfair" signs? Are they sitting at home playing solitaire? Did they join the rival business?

I was thinking more along the lines of original Star Trek, where you had aliens posing as Greek gods, disembodied immaterial Galactus hands stretching out from planets, and parallel universes where evil versions of the characters can cross over from, and yet where at the end of the day, the characters can nod their heads and give a toast to "the godless universe".

It was very much like Doctor Who if Doctor Who didn't just explain everything with a simple "it's all wibbly wobbly".

Even the people who revere God but not "no matter what"?

How would you define a cult?

The most concise way to think about it is to think Freemasonry combined with Star Trek.

 

I ask inspired by experiences with Google. Google/YouTube, for as long as I can remember, always had a strange habit of assuming absolutely anyone even near to you is you. Back when I had my first YouTube account (which was also back when I was in a completely different part of the world), for the last few years of having it, it had my sister's channel listed under "alternate accounts" and it wouldn't even ask me for the password to log into her account, I could simply click over to it like it was nothing (led to a lot of sister rivalry moments). Of note, on a less severe scale, something akin to this mindset is also credited to leading me to witnessing a documented and verifiable triple banning of cherished accounts, how lovely.

So yeah, my first curious hypothetical question I have of the year. How common/normal would this stance be on the net, with something like 2FA where it could mean the difference between data and makeshift DNA (secondary question, does it actually work as well as touted years ago)?

 

I have a lot of indirect experience/knowledge with caves. I don't have to be one of the people who directly explored one to know one of the first things one learns about caves is how ill-suited for wandering around they are. Slopes can change on a dime, it's incredibly rocky inside, and they fill with whatever falls from the sky. Imagine hiding in one of these, as someone with less intelligence than us, and not expecting to even stub a toe, let alone fall or suffocate. I assume it must be a concern because all the cave hobbyists I know (even if I only know a couple) say they have to split up based on their physical skills (so one chooses a slope-free while the other a rain-free one as would be the case for me as someone who never learned), though I admit I'd be amused if cavepeople didn't ignore these slopey checkpoints and instead it caused them to make some inventions.

Another thing that sticks out to me is the rule against fire. When cave explorers (not me) venture in, the most important rule of all time they learn is that it's an absolute cardinal sin to light so much as a match in a cave, let alone a torch (in contrast to Indiana Jones movies where that's the first darn thing he does). The heat from fire is enough to interfere with the stone composition, which in turn threatens to collapse a cave. Imagine having just discovered fire, and you go running to show your family but everyone dies before you can say "hey Mario look what I made". I wouldn't expect a caveman to know about that rule, but I would expect them to feel tempted to find out the hard way.

Finally, there's the fact they're filled with disease. Most notably from the cave animals; while things like ticks and rabies are not common in cave animals, they do happen. If that wasn't enough to outright stigmatize dwelling in a cave, even the environment itself is viral. There are caves where the reservoirs are like 100% condensed bacteria. That's got to send awful mixed messages to seek refuge from an oasis and suddenly you have a fear of water like me.

How did caves become such a go-to and one where nobody is depicted as having any serious accidents in?

 

I don't know if what I'm about to describe is a glitch or if I did anything wrong. Imgur won't tell me. I tried to find answers to this but couldn't, having looked on Imgur, in Imgur forum posts, in r/NoStupidQuestions, in the Imgur subreddits, and so on. I haven't gotten any answers from any of these places.

The context is I have some images on Imgur where the image mysteriously vanished. The link to where the post still shows up, and the image title is still there, but the image is gone, and in my gallery, it appears as a light blue square. I tested the download feature and it gives me a zipped folder as it should, but when I try to extract it, an error message comes up because the folder is actually empty.

I know some of the more well-known reasons Imgur removes images, such as a post getting downvoted too much or a post breaking community guidelines (I've had one of each of these and was told a third would trigger an admin notification and possibly my termination), but lately I've seen posts, including one of mine, hidden for reasons that neither of these seem to explain. Despite being told another violation would lead to action being taken against me, this hasn't happened, nor have I received a notification or email for it, leading me to believe it wasn't violation-based, but who knows?

None of these images were NSFW or AI-generated, if anyone was wondering this. Most notably some cosplays were on there, my cosplaying even constituted my most popular of my images/posts, and it was there for almost half a year before this happened, which rules out the unpopularity theory, and suddenly I logged on a few weeks ago and it's not there anymore. The tags are gone too, and the "post" button is blurred signaling it can't be posted as new, unless I am misinterpreting that.

So can anyone tell me every final reason why a post might be removed so Imgur might be able to help me fulfill my duty according to them to make sure they're pleased with the visibility of my images? This either has a very obvious answer or a very unobvious one, in either case I looked everywhere for an answer because I don't know it and have been thrown through some loops,

 

I've always been curious about this even though I've never been in this situation.

On Reddit, there are things they ban you over if you do them with alternate accounts, like voting for the same option on a poll, adding multiple upvotes to a comment, and so on.

Meanwhile, as being a mod comes with duties, Reddit specifically asks you to approve or unapprove posts in your subreddit. For the most part, approving a post doesn't seem on par with rigging results, but I'm guessing that because posts being approved gives automod the impression that an account is trustworthy, it could be deemed as amounting to an indirect form of rigging.

And yet, on the other hand, it is technically your subreddit, and even your own posts (as subreddit owner) make you choose between approving and unapproving posts.

What happens then if you have an alternate account, use it to post in a subreddit your main account owns, then approve it with your own account which owns the subreddit?
