You forgot:

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Or, to put it another way:

To a nail, everything is a hammer.

Sweeping generalizations are generally a Bad Thing ™. Especially when done out of context. 🤷‍♂️

What command was barked? He called his partner using a familiar nickname, and explained why he called for them.

Congratulations! You just invented a whale!

🤨

~Careful now. We might have beef.~

I meant it as db0 is not a piefed instance, so the advice about seeing voting on the piefed hub was not relevant to you.

You might not see this, but piefed and db0 are like the Hatfields and McCoys. And OP is a db0 user, so it’s guaranteed they don’t use piefed (not with that account anyway).

I’m sure different mods have their different reasons. Maybe it’s a frail ego, or maybe they’re morally righteous and find downvotes derogatory and demeaning. Who knows how some people think. 🤷‍♂️

Also, you’re thinking of Lemvotes. In my experience, it doesn’t always work for all instances. Hell, there’s been my own posts that on .world that I couldn’t pull up.

Or quit serving alcohol. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the advice.

So what’s the threshold to say when something that compresses is compressible?

Give OP a hand. 👏

Are these things universal? Or are they specific to each unit?

It’s only weird when you correlate “great” with only being a good thing. In and of itself , “great” is neither good nor bad. It simply describes a thing as more than average or normal.

e.g. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both great tragedies. They were also very bad things.

e.g. Having a calm and rational discussion on the Internet is a great idea. It is also positive and reaffirming.

So sick, you might need to take a (paid) day to recover.

I’m scared to ask: what’d he do?

Literally living on a prayer right now. 🤷‍♂️

If you keep it civil, and respectful, sure. 👍

You’re missing my point. Coming into the comments to complain about a perfectly legit comic, regardless of your feelings for a poster or the posted, does nobody any good. You can:

1. Block the poster,
2. Block the community,
3. Hide it (if you use an app that supports it),
4. Filter out specific keywords (assuming the poster is thoughtful enough to provide them),
5. Downvote and move on, or
6. Do nothing and live with it.

I was hoping to avoid the list, but here we are. 😊
