Jumped onto my desktop to check. You can do it from the comm page by clicking on the hamburger button (…) of any post, and there’ll be an option there to block the comm. No, I have no idea why a comm-wide setting is only found under a post-specifi button.

This might need updating, I think the private voting feature was removed?

You probably missed it. I remember having to look for a minute before I found the block community button when I tried it out.

Proof that god hates us, we didn’t get explosive fart cannons.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 6 days ago:
They’re seeing prostitutes as a problem because of lust over women, that’s enough context to know it’s problematic.

Elon, Trump, and the rest of the fucking pantheon weren’t enough to invigorate interest, I don’t who what is.

Obligatory that’s exactly what a bot would say comment
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 week ago:
Utilisation is good, but overcrowding illustrates the point of this meme, which is that the public transit system is being neglected and hasn’t kept pace with demand.

Future anthropologists would consider Pornhub a fertility ritual.
- Comment on Forget copyright strikes, a retro gaming YouTuber faces possible jail time for reviewing gaming handhelds 1 week ago:
Currently, officials contest that his reviews of ANBERNIC devices like the RG Slide, which often, but not always, ship with microSD cards filled with copyrighted ROMs, are punishable under Article 171 of the Italian Copyright Law. This law, which was originally written in 1941, allows for a maximum punishment of €15,000 (or 30 million Italian Lira, since the law pre-dates the Euro) and three years of jail time.
They’re not even claiming he broke any copyright, just that the device he reviewed is often used in copyright violation. That’s like how the Spanish cops are currently suspecting anybody using the Pixel of being a drug dealer.
And that random not-even-actually-breaking-a-law is enough for them to shut down his channel and threaten his livelihood.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 1 week ago:
If I had a gun I’d likely be in trouble too. And I don’t even need general firearms training for that!

Well yeah, I’m not advocating we convert to surface-tensionless water, here. I’m just pointing out the flaw in this meme’s logic.
Also, wtf is an ear chicken?
- Comment on It’s the little things 1 week ago:
What stuff in water? Are you referring to drainage?
- Comment on It’s the little things 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t it evaporate in like 5 seconds, then? Also, drainage would be the easiest thing ever. Don’t even need a slanted floor.

- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 2 weeks ago:
Tragedy is not usually due to a single cause. Multiple failures have to happen for a tragedy to occur. In this case, the mum left them unattended, and the manufacturer implemented a feature in a dangerous way. It should have been obvious in the design phase that this was a risk, to pets if nothing else. The solution is also well known, there have been groups lobbying to make occupant sensors standard for literally decades. That they implemented one without the other is arguably corporate negligence for nothing more than extremely minor cost savings.

I agree. But that doesn’t really address the issue under discussion
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 2 weeks ago:
The kids died because the engine auto shut off, so it’s actually an interesting question as to whether the manufacturer bears responsibility for having implemented a ‘feature’ dangerously.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 weeks ago:
Hopefully! My comment wasn’t aimed at KSP / KSA though, just talking about why IP is valuable
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 weeks ago:
Name recognition sells stuff. Somebody who loved KSP 1 will probably give KSP 3 a go, at least to a greater probability than an unrelated game in the same genre.

Wouldn’t the dealers / shops by the most motivated to find the problems, if that’s the case?

Not gonna make much of a difference unless you take your mum with you.

It’s not a hot take, it’s fine to dislike popular games for personal reasons. You’re not calling it a horrible game, it just didn’t click for you.
