I agree. It's annoying and selfish. I often go back to older threads I've participated in to see other people's points of view, to see if maybe I missed something. But to then see "permanently deleted" or words of that effect, that's just sad. I can't learn from those. No one can.
A month I can kind of understand. I let mastodon auto delete my month old posts. But a few days? I don't know...But you're right, it could be that they didn't like the answers they got. That does make the most sense. Like that kid who's dating that Muslim girl, and pretty much all of the reactions sided with her point of view.
Descent broke my brain. I'm pretty good at navigating in FPS', but Descent's 4 axis of movement just didn't click for me. I kept getting lost, recently I tried it again after many years, I just can't wrap my head around it.
Same with space sims. I'm dog awful in dog fights.
I can get upset if my post gets a few downvotes, like -5 or something, but oddly when it reaches -10 or lower it doesn't affect me. Though it's rare for me to see my posts go that deeply down.
Upvotes on my posts feel nice.
When I see it with other people who get downvoted because their jokes are misunderstood or if their argument isn't well received but they meant well and it was on topic, I feel bad for them and give them an upvote (even when I don't agree with them).Though some people deserve their downvotes, if it's clear that they don't belong in that community or are arguing in obvious bad faith. I don't often give out downvotes, but those people tempt me
The reason why I made my comment is because in the US some car manufacturers use the rear brake lights for the indicator lights too. Which is just stupid and dangerous and thankfully illegal in Europe.
It would be really stupid to have amber brake lights in the front. And given US car manufacturers track record, they'd be so stupid to repurpose the front indicator lights as front brake lights to cut costs.
Make it blue or green or any other color, but not amber or white.The amber color should only be used for the indicator lights, and should be amber on the front, side and back of the car.
That'll come over time. Reddit didn't start with all those diverse groups either. It was mostly tech based stuff with some news sprinkled in initially.
It could be for her safety that she's keeping you a secret. There have been so called "honor killings" of women whose dads or brothers suspected that she had dated someone and had sex out of wedlock.Even in my western and free country of The Netherlands.
Do you trust your girlfriend? Then let her decide when it's the right time to tell her family about her, her very life might just depend on it!
Can't reply to Some Amateur's removed comment, just want to say, I enjoyed your contribution! And that could indeed also be a valid reason
