Saw a tweet the other day that was quoting The Daily Show -

"I’ve noticed one thing about a certain type of rich person. When they don’t have problems of their own, they have to just make up problems just to make their lives interesting ... I can guarantee you, JK Rowling had zero opinions about trans people when she was on welfare."

From the designer of the 3,000 square foot house that was 300 feet long and 10 feet wide comes a newer and even poorer design.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3022 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Trump or Cruz, you have to pick one. Who would it be and why

Trump may be an asshole, but he's not hardline tea party, and has never caused a government shutdown - Cruz was instrumental in the 2013 one.

Cruz has agreed with all Trumps statements about hispanics, women, and muslims, so in that regard he's at least as bad as Trump.

Trump doesn't like gay marriage but since the Supreme Court has ruled on it, he's content to let it be. Cruz wants to pass a one-man-one-woman amendment to the Constitution.

Trump wants to open relations with Cuba, Cruz vehemently against.

Trump wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, and lower them on the middle class. Cruz follows party line that taxes bad.

Trump is okay with limited gun control, Cruz is against even background checks.

Trump wants single payer, Cruz wants to repeal Obamacare.

So if I had to choose, it's going to be Trump every single time. Hell, I'd pick him over Clinton too.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4093 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski's ignored

Unshockingly, it appears that people are getting tired of seeing a lot of talk about reddit on Hubski.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4091 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: This is driving me crazy - what do we call ourselves?

Hubs. That way I can get my brewski on at the hubski brah.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4094 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: So I deleted my reddit account...

I spend an incredible amount of time derping in modmail, doing mod stuff, or just commenting in private social club subs myself.

On one hand, good riddance.

On the other?

hahaha no, good riddance.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What is hubski's policy on offensive content and free speech?

>Does hubski have any form of moderation similar to reddit?

so you mean make the users play whack a mole with trolls while the admins do nothing or next to nothing?

God I hope not.

Hell I hope that we don't end out going the subhubski route either (Well I secretly hope we do so I can snag #atheism and maybe make it not be terrible.)

Vaguely related: Hubski doesn't feel like it would really survive a large amount of growth to be honest. I think Hubski at 25k users would be a wildly different beast then it is now, especially since a voting clique would muck everything up. Even if the downvote isn't an option they could still paint the opposition as not as well loved.

GodOfAtheism  ·  2836 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Wow, Mark Zuckerberg Is Paranoid As Fuck

Justified paranoia in Zuckerberg's case, I would think. If anyone was going to get spied on in a variety of seemingly outlandish ways, it'd be him and other super rich/powerful folks like him.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4089 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What do you do for a living? What would you like to do?

I do tech support. I'd like to be Batman.

Lets pretend that everyone from, say, /r/adviceanimals on reddit decides they're going to roll on over here.

Apart from unfollowing #adviceanimals, you really don't need to do much. Can the level of discourse go down? Of course, and as (if rather) the site gets popular, it will. This is a foregone conclusion.

So enjoy it while it lasts, and maybe someday we can all look back and be all, "Those were the good ol' days..."

GodOfAtheism  ·  2897 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Feature request

Maybe half of one, I dunno about a full one.

Cross post. A repost implies that it's that posts second (or third, etc.) time here. a cross post means it's been posted somewhere else first.

All 3 of their current users are reportedly very upset.

I love Maddox so god damned much.

Get rid of powers for when the guy you don't like is in office, repeal when your guy is in office.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4043 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is there anything you do on the internet now that was impossible 10 years ago?

Now vs. 2003?

I'd probably have to say that you can make all your purchases online now. Sure, you could make clothing purchases in the past, books and whatnot, but you'd never seriously consider stuff like your grocery shopping.

So who wants to incorporate a small town with me?

I was 10 dollars of that.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4099 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Popularity of Hubski users shows Stratification.

Big reddit post brought in a lot of new folks, folks who were looking for reddit names to follow, thusly we get kleinb100, syncretic, possibly Saydrah, and definitely not myself getting a lot of followers, changing the curve a bit.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3148 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Web-Comic Recommendations?

All of these have no overarching storyline, are a bit weird (or maybe more than a bit) and update on a regular/semi-regular basis with comics.

>I think this is a direct result of the sort of deification that has occurred in regard to our nations founders.

I'm of the opinion that it's more because of the rise of partisan politics and the needless political grandstanding that comes with it. Republicans are evil big business bullies who want to sell yellowstone to comcast and Democrats are soft babies who want to let illegals take our jerbs, and nothing that one side suggests can possibly be of benefit to the other.

It's the same rationale behind why I use my sleeve to open bathroom doors. I know I washed my hands, but anyone else? No idea.

GodOfAtheism  ·  4104 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is there a place for fun content on hubski ?

Why not just tag it as #meme, or #adviceanimal, or #jokes? That's the beauty of hubski, it's just that easy.

Basing your particular label around consumption/consumerism is bad? I guess the guys getting 1 more horsepower out of their rx7's better knock it off. Gun nuts too. Don't even get me started on those guys collecting baseball cards... Those consumerist pigs.
