Urgh. Look at this crap. It's awful. /uploads/resized/files/4d/g2f8c955xotep8ct.png /uploads/resized/files/by/ec90l9nsyj26lmdx.png /uploads/resized/fi...

No, you've got that the wrong way around. It would definitely make more sense having that option if this were just a forum for casual chitchat. Then l...
May 29, 2017 at 22:22
We've considered that option and have already discussed it in the moderator forum. I'm against that because I think it's too much work. You'll either ...
May 29, 2017 at 21:41
I'm aware that other forums are doing that. They look messy and unprofessional. If this was just a forum for casual chitchat, then maybe. But it's not...
May 29, 2017 at 21:02
No, of course not. That in itself is not a problem, and it wasn't the problem in this case. The problem related to the content.
May 29, 2017 at 20:48
No.
May 29, 2017 at 20:39
No, there's no notification. If there was an option for automatic notification, then we'd consider doing that, but we don't have that option.

Eye roll.
May 29, 2017 at 20:23
Because it was melodramatic... an overreaction.
May 29, 2017 at 20:20
I didn't say otherwise, and if I'm wrong, then it's odd that many of your comments attest to the fact. In fact, it's hard to think of a time when you ...
May 29, 2017 at 19:59
I thought you'd understand and take it on the chin, and your reply has just confirmed that. If only others would take a leaf out of your book and not ...

You have my heartfelt sympathy. A community should have rules and respect. It isn't respectful to the creator of the discussion to fill up their discu...
May 28, 2017 at 13:14
See the site guidelines at the top of the home page. The site guidelines, and replies upon request, are all you're going to get, so if you expect anyt...

Yes, basically.
May 28, 2017 at 08:03
I deleted them, and the reason was that they were all single-sentence or very brief petty jibes, jokes, or just didn't add that much to the discussion...
May 28, 2017 at 07:57
I'd be against that. This place looks better when it's more uniform.
May 27, 2017 at 22:21
Maybe.
May 27, 2017 at 22:18
I wasn't planning on getting myself too involved in the semantics, as I don't think that it's as important as others seem to. We know what we're talki...
May 27, 2017 at 15:41
That's a loaded question. Perhaps I reject the assumptions in your question, like the notions of depression at one's core and of asymptomatic depressi...
May 27, 2017 at 02:18
It is what it is, and I think that we should call it what it is, once we know what it is, contrary to Question's approach that we should treat depress...

Simpsons did it! If you like The Family Guy, then I don't get why you wouldn't like The American Dad, The South Park or The Rick and Morty. The Simpso...
May 26, 2017 at 23:06
They're interested enough to give their opinion on it. It could be an interesting conversation. They might even change their mind. If someone said tha...
May 26, 2017 at 22:55
No. Just, no. Why would I go out of my way looking for work? If I was after a promotion or something and trying to impress my boss, then yes. Otherwis...
May 26, 2017 at 22:33
You're encouraging me to risk getting myself in trouble for reading a book or magazine in work-time? I work in retail, and that's a highly inappropria...
May 26, 2017 at 21:33
I don't care. I work for the money, not because it's an opportunity to work hard.
May 26, 2017 at 21:12
I get paid per hour. Whether I use that time to work really hard or just sit there doing little, I'll still get paid the same. So what's your point ex...
May 26, 2017 at 21:10
There was a time not too long ago when I had two jobs and worked 7 days a week with no day off, and one of those jobs was full-time. When I first star...
May 26, 2017 at 20:56
I already gave you a big clue earlier when I mentioned the obstacles which stand in the way of me getting state help, although maybe I added that in t...

May 26, 2017 at 20:17
Yes, but the government should do more to help people like me than people like Mr. Rich and his gold digger wife.
May 26, 2017 at 20:08
Nothing you've said so far has really convinced me of that. I live in Essex, which is just outside of London. There is accommodation here which would ...
May 26, 2017 at 19:59
Exactly. But those on £80,000 or more who are "struggling" in this way should suck it up or bloody well downgrade. The population of the UK is approxi...
May 26, 2017 at 18:44
See, told ya you're a reactionary! ;)
May 26, 2017 at 17:16
Well, unlike yourself, I'm probably not one of the best educated people on the planet, but I'm sure I could teach them a thing or two in the hope of r...
May 26, 2017 at 14:28
Where can I make a donation to those earning £80,000 or more who struggle to make ends meet? Anyone know of any such charities? Agustino's comments ha...
May 26, 2017 at 13:48
I'm also a Rick and Morty fan. I should pick up from where I left off, somewhere in season 2, if I remember rightly. Wubalubadubdub!
May 26, 2017 at 13:19
Given that you're prone to exaggeration, I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
May 26, 2017 at 13:14
I'm not saying that, but government can help, and depending on which party is in government, they'll likely do more to help or less. Voting for what's...
May 26, 2017 at 13:10
That's not your only recourse. The government can intervene in helpful ways. For example, it recently came to light that Tesco deliberately and repeat...
May 26, 2017 at 12:56
And these people are not typical, and not struggling in anything like the same way, and do not deserve anywhere near the same amount of sympathy.
May 26, 2017 at 12:22
It's not so much that you're putting words in my mouth, but that you're taking what I said out of context with your little cut-and-paste job, and I do...
May 25, 2017 at 20:58
You haven't figured out whether or not you're dreaming? Case in point.
May 25, 2017 at 20:37
You're a philosophy forum.
May 25, 2017 at 00:54
Tired, but going to read about Das Kapital rather than go to sleep. I'll sleep later. Tomorrow is going to be another very hot, very busy, stressful d...
May 25, 2017 at 00:44
It's shocking that you'd need to ask that question. If you have greater wealth, then you can make a greater contribution with less of an overall cost ...
May 24, 2017 at 23:13
You didn't ask me that question, and I've already provided the answer. It was the first definition in the list of results which was close enough to wh...
May 24, 2017 at 21:44
No, it isn't, it's called fairness. What possible alternative are you suggesting? Equal tax for all, regardless of income, assets, status, and so on? ...
May 24, 2017 at 21:17
But it's not punishment, it's a fairer method of being able to implement a policy which will be a benefit to society. The greater the wealth, the grea...
