Hey I used to listen to that Dir en Grey Obscure song in high school! I remember that music video being sick as fuck and really unique for the time.
Anyways I haven't heard anything you listed, but I should say that Maximum The Hormone is probably my favorite band of all time. They're kind of Nu-metal, but I think avant-garde metal is a much better descriptor since their sound travels ridiculously far and wide even within the confines of one song. They've also been killing it the last 5 years or so, you should check out |their| |last| |four| |singles| if you haven't heard them yet.
I'll check out your list here as soon as I get the chance
god that book fucking sucked. whenever he isn't bitching on and on about women, he's handing out the most watered down, braindead version of Nietzsche I've ever read.
like there is seriously something to be said about the multi-dimensional affront that technology is afflicting onto our existence, but Ted's political takes were so shallow and lame and mired in his own neurotic bullshit that I couldn't possibly read another page further.
I recently picked up a book on cyber-espionage by Cliff Stoll, and I noticed that he actually turned out to be majorly critical of the internet as a whole during its infancy. He mentions a very interesting critique of the information age that I've never heard before, and that's how he believes it to be hostile to human curiosity. Cliff argues that the constant availability of answers to our questions will placate the individuals curiosity, and eventually atrophy their skills of reasoning and problem-solving.
Idk, moral philosophy is a sticky subject when you dive into it, especially when getting into the nihilistic aspects. I'd recommend checking out some of Nietzsche's writings on herd morality if you want some good insight into Ted's criticism of leftism.
Should also say that it's tough to blame Ted for lashing out when you look at what various organizations did to him during his life. His story is definitely a tragic one.
BTW probably wouldn't recommend Cliff Stoll's work on social commentary, but The Cuckoo's Egg is a fascinating read. It's about his uncovering and tracking of an international espionage which he stumbled on shortly after becoming a sys-admin at Berkeley in the 1980's.
Reported tags should probably just be automatic. Set them after a threshold of a certain number of reports. (set that number to scale with active users?)
In order to circumvent abuse, maybe there could be a symbol after a post gets automatically re-tagged for indicating that it was? Then you'd be able to use that symbol for reporting posts that you believe were incorrectly/maliciously reported so that action can be taken against anyone who abuses the system.
1 more suggestion: maybe streamline the dialogue prompt for reporting incorrect tags so that you're asked something like "What should this post be tagged as?"
But after making a selection, you're provided with an additional warning/snippet of the relevant content policy. For politics it'd be something like "Does this post reference a candidate, political party, elected or appointed government official, election, referendum, ballot measure, legislation, regulation, directive, or judicial outcome?"
Your definitions for the tags are very clear, but I think a little reminder would go a long way in preventing people from acting on their own subjective interpretations of these terms.
I'm actually against this change. I think downvotes should inherently be treated as a feature rather than a flaw. It's also misleading to label a board as "all" when it doesn't actually include everything.
I think if a mod doesn't like how their sub is being treated by the greater community, then making the sub private is already an adequate solution.

yeah, looking forward to it! fingers crossed about it generating a good influx of users
it was surprisingly a lot of fun, looking forward to the sequel
paddles on the back are nice for kick and lunge attacks since the button+stick combos can be hard to hit 100% of the time

the formatting seems off now, I have to zoom out on mobile to be able to see the whole frame of the video
Yes, it's me. I'm very heavily invested in mainchan's development
Is there any way to make it so videos don't autoplay? There's many times I'd much rather look at comments beforehand or instead.
Nice!
Have you ever tried just being really tense?
my biggest fear was 9/11
>LOL haha

From what I've seen, most people speculate that a decently polished version is only a few months out.
It was only 2 months ago that they first got the game to boot to the title screen, so their progress has been incredibly fast.

The site already has content filters for situations like that
