OT: Death of the OT thread.

[HockeyH3aven]

A friendly reminder: reddit literally apologized to swathes of pedophiles and perverts when it had to start cracking down on all the underage and jailbait pictures circulated in some of its more "popular" subs.

Anyways, just got off the phone with SUNY Geneseo and I got the job

I'm not going to go into the specifics of the first statement, only to say I'd recommend you educate yourself a bit more on the topic before you throw out crap like that. Reddit is not a person, Reddit is simply a website. Plenty of people use it to do perfectly normal and acceptable things. People are always quick to condemn the tool, not the person using it. It is not their place to level moral judgement on its users for perfectly legal practices, no matter how reprehensible they may seem.

It's snowing, few inches already, probably a few more...probably will make for some slick driving but otherwise no biggie.

Vancouver stops to a standstill at the slightest amount of snow. I guess you lot are used to it though.

Being in Canada, that surprises me a lot.

As long as it doesn't snow profusely in the early morning (3am-7am) it's normally fine. It has however, been snowing non-stop since I woke up (and before then too) which is odd.

We're barely Canadian in that sense. During winter, we mainly get rain, rain and more rain. Maybe a few days of snow, but that's about it.

6 inches + here already.

I hear that's above average.

The thought of a topless Marchand shoveling out the Garden's got me all hot and bothered.

Mostly just bothered.

Nice, slip. Nice.

Good for you, b_e!

You just have to know where to go on that site for actual useful material. The default subs? Puke. Filled with 15 year olds making one liners for fake Internet points.

/r/cringe is all I need.

I thought I was all you need?

Not until you cure the common cold. You know that, don't be thick.

That alone just made me cringe.

I am above average.

I didn't go home tonight - I'm here in North Buffalo staying at the girlfriend's. Even my Grand Prix & I aren't about to take this on.

Always glad to spend some time out here.

The problem with your statement is the people who run reddit did everything in their power to not address the problem and did so under the guise of "protecting free speech." The "don't condemn the tool" line doesn't mean anything when virtually every other site on the internet who operates within legal boundaries has dozens or hundreds of employees whose sole responsibility is to purge stuff like that off their servers. Reddit directed the blame towards image hosts like imgur and the like when the problems were primarily centralized to a small number of subs and would have been far easier to police on their end.

It's very transparent. They didn't want to upset portions of their user base, even if said portions were made up of complete scrum. It's easier to point to someone else and blame them for "taking away your freedom."

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the site as a whole or or anything like that. I just think it's run and moderated very poorly, and it fosters a lot of objectively horrible things as a result.

edit: and thanks for the congrats, everyone

I suck at music lately.

But this Macklemore and Lewis **** is straight dope.

Grunge rap? Whatever, I love it. It's like somebody opened a window and a fresh breeze blew in from outside.

I thought the storm wasn't going to hit Buffalo real hard. From hearing the weather report from News 4; thought it was just gonna be Genesee county etc...walked home from work today.

Was supposed to be 3-7 inches in Buffalo, 6-12 in southtowns/Niagara/Orleans/Inland places.
