Enterprise Office in the cloud is stupid since security settings for businesses tends to break a lot of stuff that complex documents use. I got a three for one punch for my application I wrote because Office went online, Microsoft depreciated using IE in macros, and then my company put information I'd pull from the browser session into god awful frames (in 2025!). I said screw it, use what still works, I'm not chasing this anymore.

That title instantly made me think of the line in the Pink Floyd song: "The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say"

Time gets us all, even the best of us. Use it now, use it well.

RIP Dolly. This hits like the news of Fred Rogers, Bob Ross, or Jimmy Carter. Good people, doing good things for their neighbor. Look for the helper.

I was also at said poker game.

Many things we argue about now have been diluted to catch phrases and acronyms (maybe to encourage infighting among the commons). The best way to address a debate at the start is to ask the person what they think X means, so at least you're talking about the same things.

There are numerous versions of "A Boring Dystopia" in instances but I guess some of this isn't boring.

Hopefully there isn't a way. I get your need to find their identity, but think how that could be used for other purposes. If I decide I want to remove something, or edit it, or whatever, that should favor me, not preservation of my past activities. Yes, the internet never forgets, except it does if the content isn't viewed enough (RIP a lot of the old web).

Anonymity should be highest priority. It sucks when it's used for nefarious purposes, or just annoying ones. Maybe the person had second thoughts and didn't realize anyone had seen it yet. Maybe they're revising a new post to be clearer. Maybe they'll see this post and realize what happened, and tell you they're sorry.

Took me decades to break out of the "on the bus but can't get to the front to get off at my stop". Now I'll probably have a relapse thanks to this reminder. But the late/missed class, those dreams suck.

It's likely for the reader's sake more than anything. A person in The Expanse can experience two types of pulling downward. Actual gravity on a planet/moon, or during a burn. I would agree that they probably wouldn't say "thrust gravity" usually because of context (they know they're on a ship), but technically "gravity" alone would be incorrect, even though in its use it's realized it's referring to the force from the thrust and not a gravity field. A new word might even be created to talk about ship "gravity".

"Once again, weird."

I think she's doing it to have a reason to go to confession.

The TV series for Highlander was good. Had a few great scenes and characters. Think of it as an alternate timeline going a different direction, playing with the ideas the movie introduced on how immortality isn't such a great thing.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.

Yes, that would be terrible. glances around

Just like trying to make a sequel to Highlander. Imagine that. The film had a hard ending, there's no place for it to go from there.

Florida - either the bystanders had a lot of restraint to not turn things into a gunfight, or they happened to not carry. At least they tried, I guess.

Wait, is this a repost, or is Netanyahu up to it again somewhere else?

I rarely pay attention to the name of the person unless I recognize it through other conversations. I respond to the content and intent. I've had the same thing happen to me on various platforms over the many years, where I started a reply and when I hit submit it got an error because they deleted. Just move on, why hunt someone down for something that may or may not have even been on purpose? Revenge for time lost seems... well. Let's just say this post may be more in the heat of the moment and not thinking how it looks.

But the Halo series was the worst. The opening scene had me, I will admit. It was bad ass to see it in real life like that, being part of some humans who had no chance in hell of survival. But the storyline from there... so stupid.

I don't remember the timeline, but perhaps they jumped on the bandwagon while LotR was still fresh in everyone's mind, thinking they'd get rights to touch other Tolkien sources, and then were told "hell no" so had to use a few scraps and make it up as they went.

Giving moderation abilities to anyone opens up a lot more than just blocking. Err on the side of caution and anonymity is my only position.

It also has potential for an arms race between users who are able to do things past just posting. Even been in an ops war for a channel? Maybe not, that's old IRC stuff.

But there's the key. Enough times and someone recognizes the name and actions. It's up to those who did remember who it was to reach out to moderation to take the next steps.

I just prefer protecting the regular user first and letting a few offenders get away with things until they make it obvious who they are. The whole innocent until proven guilty thing. Making it so any user can track down any other user and come after them feels like the wrong side of this.

What if they edited it first?

The solution seems to me to be a moderator job for someone abusing the system. They should be able to see in the logs things like this, so just need to be notified of when it happened. They could probably look at your post attempt and tie it to a name, then research that name to see if it's a common activity. Next step is to give the user a warning (again, assume innocence first) and go from there.

Coming from the Reddit mess years ago, if I decide I want to delete my content, I want that ability. For whatever reason. If you want to take their post topic or content and open up your own post using it to continue, you have that ability.

But not give back like they did.
