++ != [read, seen]

Yes it is

To me, it is.

Yes and no

@alexbrooklyn Another one to add to the ignore list. No time for kids.

@CaptainRant damn you really are a pretentious cunt.

Get over yourself man. You're not the hot shit you believe yourself to be my dude

@CaptainRant What happened to you that makes you become so toxic? You are literally a Twitter checkmark-user. "oh no, something I don't agree with. Muted and blocked and reported."

@kescherRant Don't misunderstand correctness and selfrespect for bitterness. The other are rude, harassing and such and it has nothing to do with disagreeing. There are plenty of discussions I have with people on here who disagree with me but they are civil and constructive.. and more importantly, of an older age. I don't tolerate bs.

@CaptainRant you ignore someone for saying "yes it is", which I find odd.

Anyway, my reasoning for it meaning both seen and read: There's no point in upvoting a rant you haven't full read.

@kescherRant Yeah, that's my point.

@CaptainRant But that would imply ++ = [read, seen]. Without an upvote, you can't know whether it was seen or even read, but but with one, it is safe to assume so.

@kescherRant Oh, that way. Well, I would only care for ++'s if the thread was positively agreed with. That people read it is sort of a given or a little bit irrelevant. Hm. Oh well.

The fuck am I reading?

++ doesn't necessarily mean agreeing on the content. It can as well be for raising an interesting point in a well argued manner, though the ++er can still disagree.

>proper devrant usage

Dude we are typing messages into a nosql database, not creating international laws

🤔something was downvoted, I'm missing some context here.

Anywho,

++ ==
I laughed,
I agree,
I can't believe you just said that,
you deserve a ++,
I'm bored here's a 1000 ++ for the sake of ++'s

I just like double tapping my screen while I poop.

Be blessed in holy poop, my son. *gently taps your rant with a smelly finger*

@bittersweet thanks for the ++, I feel dirty now.

@C0D4 he commented something like "another one to ignore. Not time for kids" bc @kescherRant stated his opinion.

And then there's another rant posted by OP where he's complaining about office small talk and gets pretty cunty in the comments.

@Stuxnet ooh, this should be some interesting reading.

Edit: nope, the algo has kicked in and hidden the -- posts/comments 🤷‍♂️

@C0D4 I'mma guess it got deleted. My comments on the post are gone

@C0D4 afaik only whole rants that were downvoted are Hidden from you. When you downvote a comment you will still bei able to see it

@don-rager no comments get hidden too.

After enough downvotes they're hidden

@don-rager aforementioned comment

@don-rager both get hidden, but you can find the comments again in the users comments section of their profile, hard to grasp context of them though.

Rants, not so much.

@bittersweet Mocking religion shows the quality of person you are.

@CaptainRant

I will not mock personal spiritual beliefs, but religion has made a mockery of itself.

If you believe in God or the Divine — I do actually consider myself agnostic. I can neither prove nor disprove the existence of it all, so who am I to mock anyone's Diety.

That is, as long as they show their humanity by doubting their belief system once in a while as well.

When it comes to earthly fleshbags with their ridiculous earthly rituals, cultlike social organizations and destructive dogmatic traditions, damn right I will mock. When it comes to people deriving arbitrary rules to set themselves up for positions of power and oppression, fuck yes, I will mock.

@CaptainRant oh also, have a smelly ++, my son. I am currently pooping, once again.
