I’m not changing the definition. I’m simply explaining my interpretation of it. Threats of murder are a form of terrorism.

If a person that plays guitar is called a guitarist, then a person that terrorizes others is a terrorist.

It’s pretty simple.

As a rule, a man who has never worked a day in his life- should have no authority over those who do.

If their victim died in terror, yes. They are.

Definitely pregonate.

That was two words.

Meanwhile, Death Stranding 2 is just days from launch.

It’s not really a huge loss. MWS is basically a watered down .ml.

“Ideological” pretty much covers everything else. A threat to kill is an act of terrorism.

I think what’s happening here, is that murder has become so normalized that we have reached a point where the word “terrorism” has to have some special definition that excludes it from the regular run-of-the-mill terror one would experience when they’re life is threatened for whatever reason.

I mean, would you feel terror if someone threatened your life in a way that you truly believed you were in danger?

Oh, and she sung a song in Spanish, and was threatened with death for not singing in American English. That screams political to me…

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.”

So… no, I think I got it right. I mean, its root is from the Latin word- “terror”. A threat of death is sure to cause such a feeling in most people. So- in this form, the threat illustrates the act of one person terrorizing another. Therefore- one who terrorizes is a terrorist by definition.

This is not a stretch to arrive at this conclusion. That it sounds foreign might be a result of the normalization of violence.

The Supreme Court in-and-of-itself, is a setback to transgender rights.

 

It’s blatant extortion now.

 

It’s absolutely obnoxious having to scroll through the miles of auto-mod nonsense and “cleanup” removals. There’s a few in particular that are spammed constantly.

Can we maybe get a feature to filter what is displayed in the modlogs so that we can use it as a proper reference tool?

 
 

When a mod is removed, it shows the info as “Added Mod” and when a mod is added, it shows as “Removed Mod.”

 

Some removed comments are not clearing from the reported comment queue. They show as red (removed) from the community, but they are not clearing from the list.

I’ve tried reloading the app, but the removed comment still remains in the queue.

 

Found this song watching the show Suits. It’s gorgeous!

 

On IOs, If I were to, for example, remove a comment for “misinformation,” when the word is typed out and autocomplete is used, submitting the action via the remove button doesn’t work. Essentially, pressing it does nothing at all. My theory is that It could have to do with the additional space that autocomplete creates, but even backspacing doesn’t correct the issue.

The only way to resolve this is to start over, and manually type out the entire word or phrase without using autocomplete or autocorrect.

Not a huge issue, but I don’t know if this causes other problems elsewhere.

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about coding… including if that’s even the correct term for it)

 

A few Reddit apps did this back in the day and it was very convenient. If there were a link to Reddit posted anywhere, selecting it would open the app instead of the webpage.

(Really hope I’m explaining this correctly. I’m not family with the terminology I’m probably needing here)

Is this going to be a thing, or… could it be a thing?

EDIT: This is for iOS by the way.

 

That PleasantPolitics bot is obnoxious! Also, there’s a few mods that use mass auto-removal bots when someone so much as posts comments that they don’t like.

It would be nice to be able to filter these out of the modlog feed. (If it’s even possible)
