  • I absolutely fuckin hate this. It’s almost the equivalent of YouTube removing the dislike button.

    I am leaving this account behind because of this change, which is incredibly frustrating to have to do, since I had many saved posts and I already had been blocking the communities I don’t like to see rather than downvoting their posts, so I have to redo all of this on a new instance.

    Downvotes are an integral part of a voting system, and are especially critical in low population environments like this. I don’t care how many “likes” a post has, what matters is the up/down ratio. Now lemmynsfw has lost that.






  • It sends a message to the 2nd party that they’re not doing enough for my vote. If they want my vote, they’ll have to change their policies to be more like the party I voted for.

    If the losing party loses by 10,000 votes, and 10,000 people voted third party, guess what, the strategists are going to try to find a way to capture those votes.

    Without those 10,000 votes for 3rd party, the 2nd party either does nothing or tries to get votes from the other side, moving their policies further toward the 1st party.

    I would say in the current political climate, 3rd party voting is more important than ever. The idea that it’s a vote for the other side is an absolute farce, an attempt at preventing change, and couldn’t be further from the truth.


  • Forcing someone to use a different form of media to get acceptable support for your product is pretty bullshit. If I can sign up for, pay for, and use your product for years without a telephone, I shouldn’t suddenly be forced to use a phone to get support.

    Even if that might be the best solution at this point, it’s still garbage and something to justifiably complain about, especially considering it’s mildly infuriating we’re talking about.




  • Lol I think you mean “sorry I misread.” Imagine being that bad at context and blaming the writing. Sure I could’ve been more explicit but most people can handle a single ambiguous pronoun in a comment chain without writing a whole salty comment about how wrong one clearly contextually incorrect interpretation is. You’re what’s wrong with the liberal gun community.


  • Select fire is a weapon that can do full auto and semi auto. In other words, colloquially a full auto rifle. No AR-15s for the civilian market today are select fire or burst fire. Buying a new select fire or full auto rifle has been extremely illegal at the federal level for literal decades, as would be turning your semiautomatic into a select fire (without heavy duty federal licensing at a minimum)

    Maybe you should learn the difference?
