In the end, Calvin stopped thinking.

SpoilerCould Calvinism have arisen any other way?

Those aren't real, they can't hurt me.

It is, but keep in mind that if you don't intentionally misinterpret things you know to be jokes, you won't get to act smug about how awful they are. It's good to see we have some people bringing the core aspect of reddit culture here.

Telling people "calm down" is a very unconstructive de-escalation tactic because it has no substance. People respond much better if you address specific conduct, explain a potential consequence, ask for something else, and then give space.
For example, when someone needs to calm down, I tell them "You'd better fix that attitude problem of yours before it gets you into trouble", and then as soon as they begin to respond I interrupt with "Close your mouth" and I walk away. This makes people realize they're overreacting and they calm down right away.

Sad news for Canadians. Buybacks are an incredibly lucrative time to profit by selling the police a storage tote full of 3D-printed receivers.

No that one does track. If I can witness RuneScape players freak out over basic QOL features, I can 100% see future gamers insisting that if you aren't encumbered by the traditional wires then you're playing the baby version.

That's it. It's the illusion of fairness and it takes away reddit jannies' ability to show off their powermod status, and that's the only incentive they have not to use sockpuppets for every sub they mod.
