The city of Dresden rebuilt a destroyed cathedral from the ruins. I believe that they used as much original material as possible. The entire city is amazing, but checkout the Frauenkirche

The mods were posting photos of imgur staff, and included the photos in the subreddit's css.

Seems like strong endorsement to me

Is Imgur required to host FPH content?

Imgur is a private website that can moderate content as it sees fit. They didn't want to be associated with a hateful community, imgur generally tries to encourage positivity from what I've seen.

The appropriate response is not to harass people. It's amazing how difficult that concept is. What might seem like "satire" to you is pretty messed up behavior, and in others contexts would be an outright threat

FPH was posting photos of imgur's staff and sending them hatemail, I belive.

The second part of each line was the comment score/username after I clicked through link, I'll add a timestamp of when I viewed them

(submitted 33 minutes ago by so_srs) "The modern view on gender: Acceptable: Female and spending most of your time on the celphone, reading literotica, and playing candy crush. Unacceptable: Male and spending most of your time on the computer, watching porn, and playing World of Warcraft." [+25] (reddit.com) -> (at 1:16 CST)[–]comosayllama 68 points an hour ago

(submitted 3 hours ago by cakevodka ) things Hitler did were terrible for sure, but, at the same time, it would be intellectually dishonest to not call him a great politician and orator. The fact that he tried to wipe out a couple races and nationalities does not make his achievements in politics and economics any less significant [+66] (reddit.com) -> (1:17 CST) [–]_Pornosonic_ 144 points 7 hours ago

Those combined with the 3 earlier comments I posted make up the last five submissions to /r/shitredditsays(with the exception of one where the original comment was deleted), the first part is the linked comment and the second is the comment score(now with timestamp!)

I can't actually find a single instance from the front page where the score goes down after being submitted. The opposite is usually the case, where the score increases after being posted to SRS

It looks like there's an increase in karma score after it gets linked from SRS

Do you have any data that shows that trend? I frequently see threads where people complain about how blatant the effect is and how hard they're being brigaded, usually with 300+ karma

"This sentence is a lie." He doesn't seem to actually debunk the idea, just yells about David Gerard for a bit. Can you explain how it's different from Pascal's Wager?
Re:Rationality: From AI to Zombies on Friday March 20, 2015 @11:42AM (#9238359)
It seems like he deeply believes in it. I don't think he realizes it's just a modern version of Pascal's wager
