    Reminds me of a Fear Factor event my Mormon church group had in which one “disgusting” feat for boys was to shave part of their legs. That particular feat was cancelled when some boys who didn’t subscribe to traditional “manly” values happily started shaving their legs for points. Unlike swallowing goldfishes, eating grasshoppers, or attempting to drink a gallon of milk, leg shaving was a step too far for church leaders.

      Fear factor event for Mormon priests is just watching guys choose to shave leg hair over eating live insects raw.

        The insects were dried protein snacks from a Boy Scout’s wilderness guide training; they were like salted sunflower seeds with the shell still on. It was the Wal-Mart goldfishes that were alive and swallowed Attack-on-Titan-style.

          No, but I wanted to test if it’d be considered valid by the program. I think the algorithm just does kilo _ = 1000 x _

      Is that not what the k represents when people use it as a short-hand for “thousand”?

        It’s just that usually the $ unit comes before the number.

        Which I accept, but don’t like for the inconsistency with how we write units after the number.

        I think people understand that k = 1000 but don’t realize where it comes from.

        As an aside, I really like talking about mega euros. Five million euros? Nah, five mega euros

        It’s not shorthand for thousand, it IS thousand.

        kk=M -> 10^3*10^3=10^6  
        kM=G -> 10^3*10^6=10^9  
        kkk=G= "a billion" 
        

        MATH IS WITH ME, BILLIONAIRES ARE MEMBERS OF THE kkk!!!

          That’s what I love about unit prefixes. They’re just numbers!

          Like, how many m³ is 1 km³?

          1 km³ = 1 (km)³ = 1 k³m³ = 1 G(m³) = 1,000,000,000 m³.

      123 trillion usd in the world, assuming the 1k doubles every week (1, 2, 4, 8 etc) you’d only need to wear it for 37 weeks or ~0.7 years before you’d be richer than the rest of… earth

    Even though I would only be at work 3 of those days, I would still say the answer is no. $1k is not enough for me to dress that way for a whole week. Maybe $10k.

    There is a ton of stuff I would do for $1k. You want two days of my engineering and CAD skills? You want me to go to the hospital to tell people they’re loved ones have died? You want me to wipe down the loads in the steam room (in a tyvek suit and gloves)? Those are all things I could do for $1K. But I’m not wearing that.

    I uh, might have seen this post back during the pandemic and bought this fit with my stimulus money (it doesn’t look as cute as the picture makes it out to be cause the skirt of the dress doesn’t flare out like that and looks rather boxy, however the top is separate from the dress and you can wear it as a crop top and pair it with another dress/skirt and it looks better that way imo)

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
