a disaster indeed.
Can you please stop? This thread is intended to evade a lock, despite its title. Sarcasm exists.
May I ask what you intended it to be? And isn't a thread created explicitly to be locked quickly the same sort of problem as another random posts thread?hotcrystal0 wrote: ↑October 17th, 2023, 3:42 pmIs this going to become Random Posts 5? Because it was not intended to be!!!
Please don't make posts about politics like this. This is a very sensitive issue, and many people have strong opinions on this (not just in the abstract: Michael Simkin, who admittedly is inactive, lives (or lived) in Israel). I don't want people to get angry and start flame wars on this or other topics; I'm sure we all strongly disagree on something and that voicing those disagreements in harsh words would have only bad effects.
ok the important part was the "replacing them with cats" and then my correction of "*mewlitaries", not the rest of the talk. in fact, i omitted 30 posts from it that were just politics with no fun commentstoroidalet wrote: ↑October 18th, 2023, 1:09 amMay I ask what you intended it to be?

Especially since if it doesn't get locked, there is no other future for it than random posts. Honestly, at this point I think having a random posts thread is a lesser evil compared to a bunch of random threads.
Obligatory disclaimer: when I was younger, I used to post a lot in said thread, and I only stopped because I took another post as criticism of the quality of my random posts.

I'm not trying to ban you from talking about cats and governments, but just be aware that people might react more emotionally to certain topics than your friends might.
For the record, I disagree with most (but not all) of what you and your friends say, and let's just leave it at that. I want to think that if you or someone else had made a similar post arguing for a position I supported, I would have written a similar reply.
Nah, the admins just do not take orders from us mortals. That’s probably it, as they are willing to lock other threads in the sandbox.

Wikipedia wrote:The unexpected hanging paradox or surprise test paradox is a paradox about a person's expectations about the timing of a future event which they are told will occur at an unexpected time. The paradox is variously applied to a prisoner's hanging or a surprise school test. It was first introduced to the public in Martin Gardner's March 1963 Mathematical Games column in Scientific American magazine.

You think that the ones who can lock it will heed our commands meh? They have better things to do.Overweight spaceship wrote: ↑October 21st, 2023, 6:59 amI wonder if they’re never going to lock it.
If this keeps up we'll end up with an environment that's extremely hostile to any kind of constructive contributions whatsoever. Instead of discussions about actual interesting CA stuff/curiosities/discoveries, you'll have people constantly trying to fight/blame/troll/manipulate each other, here and there and everywhere over the website. Also hostile to newcomers who are trying to understand what is this all about.
Maybe but that would come later as a consequence.unname4798 wrote: ↑October 21st, 2023, 1:19 pmIf this keeps up we'll end up with 404 Not Found error.
