I mean, if in the context those posts were low-effort and didn't contribute to the thread in any meaningful way, I could understand. Like sharing nothing but a reaction gif in a discussion heavy community could be seen as "low effort".
But common acronyms? Yeah, that's definitely a strange thing.
Also, isn't GIF itself an acronym? something-or-other Image Format?
You'd get more for developing the land, yes. But depending on your area, and how you develop it, you might not profit from it.
Land with trees on it looks nicer, and draws a higher premium, but usually only if those trees are mature and provide benefits in the form of shade, use, etc.
A scraggly patch of undeveloped land with some scraggly new trees won't see much of an increase.
Really depends on the market, and the effort you're willing to put in if making money is the goal.
Not just merely a machine powered by explosions, sitting on volatile liquids... but one in which we've decided that it's also a great place to enjoy some music, maybe a nice beverage, and as a great way to take our attention off into vast distances to the sides to "see the sights".
I think to myself as I steer with one knee, trying to simultaneously drink my coffee and light a cigarette...
Driving.
Somehow millions of us go hurtling by each other mere inches away in multiple tons of steel, often in conditions less than ideal yet for the most part, it's a safe way to travel.
We can't even collectively agree on most topics, yet we put our lives in each others' hands every day.
Even disregarding all the other drivers, we put ourselves in a metal can, hurtle towards solid objects, and simply count on the idea that on average, nothing catastrophic will happen.
Pure, random chance is enough to end us - animal pops into the road, a tree randomly falling, etc. - yet there we go, on yet another daily commute.
I have a long commute through the "middle of nowhere" so lots of time to think about things that ought to be downright terrifying. The thought of hitting one moose is bad. Never occurred to me until just the other day that two moose was not out of the realm of possibility.
I don't know if it's wanting to see "The End" as you put it, but at least in my case I'm just tired of all the "We're this close to doomsday!" stuff and think to myself "Holy crap, just get it over with already" - the idea being that after everything turns to absolute crap, the only direction left is back up.
Like either the world is going to end soon, or we're going to figure out how to get along as a collective, global society. But while we're stuck in between the two, it's annoying.
People want spaces about a certain topic. It makes sense that people then "censor" things that don't fit said topic.
Even if that topic is "Be kind".
Just as with "free speech" in real life, online there are also limitations. If you disagree with those limitations, you have the freedom to go elsewhere. If you find that nowhere fits the kind of place you want to be in, make your own.
Just as people don't have to tolerate being around others mouthing off in their face, so to can they take steps to avoid/prevent that online.
In my opinion, people that can't fathom that concept are the ones most in need of that oversight.
Put an N64 controller in my hands, and I've still got the muscle memory for all the fatalities in Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate Edition. As well as Shang Tsung's entire move set.
Oh and HALIFAX? !YNGWIE! to unlock the Naboo starfighter in N64's Rogue Squadron.
You'd think there's enough global support that something might kick off elsewhere in the world. But those not having to deal directly with the nonsense going on in the US have the benefit of being able to sit back and spout off.
Sorry we're not revolting fast enough. Kind of hard to do when things are generally equally split in the country, and the majority of folks need to keep going to work to keep food on the table.
Probably all as designed, but we're all too damned tired and those doing things we don't like know it.
Oh, I just mentioned it as a point of interest when discussing banning "acronyms". Wasn't meant to call you, the OP, out or anything. Just found it funny that mods would ban for acronyms, yet in the messages, use an acronym.
