Honestly, I lost quite a bit of respect for the guy over this.

kittypuppet  ·  3784 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Third Bi-Weekly Give Me a Quote from Something You've Been Reading Lately

There's a quote (actually two) from my all-time favorite book; Ender's Game, that I wish more people would take to heart.

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them."

"Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be"

Give me a drop of poison

And give me a golden cup

Give me something to do

And give me a stroke of luck

I'll find myself drifting away

I've been reaching out for help these days

The next thing I know I'm

Laying here in your arms

Where did you find me?

How did I get here?

I should be dead by now

Is all I can say

And all you can do is cry

And kiss me goodnight

Because what I didn't know

Was that you drank it instead

My whole problem with the gay marriage issue is that I feel like it's a separation of church and state sort of thing. I feel like the government shouldn't be involved with marriage at all to begin with.

kittypuppet  ·  3801 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Guns Don't Kill People

Very nice story, and I think it gets the point across.

My dad always told it to me this way:

If you left a gun on a chair, at no point will it ever decide to just shoot. Someone has to pull the trigger.

kittypuppet  ·  3803 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What is everyone's opinion on ebooks? Do you prefer them to physical paper books?

I prefer physical books but if I'm travelling, an e-reader would do.

Venison jerky! One of our neighbors goes hunting and one in a while he'll share his catches with my family. Been wanting to make that stuff for a while.

kittypuppet  ·  3807 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: Show us one of your favorite breakfasts.

My breakfast consisted of a bowl of luck charms

You could have them select what colors they're affected by and have it change to suit that?

kittypuppet  ·  3808 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Which book could you not put down?

Though it's considered a series, I treat each book like a novel.

My most favorite - Ender's Game. Yes, I know it's sort of like the typical cliche "you're the chosen one!" sort of thing, but I really like how the story is written. The emotions played well with me in it and I was able to piece things together as the plot went by.

You must've missed their Imperial Guard raid on Facebook, them taking over naming the new Mountain Dew flavor, them getting 9Gag to DDoS themselves (as already stated), them raiding that Tayor Swift contest so the guy could meet her, and a whole bunch of other stuff. They're like that really annoying sibbling that likes to screw around with you without actually doing any damage.

If it was a 4chan raid, it wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

The last raid they did, they downvoted every comment in an AskReddit thread.

Maybe it'll only show after x amount of time.

I fixed it almost immediately after posting

kittypuppet  ·  3810 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: New To Hubski? Check out this Post List for New Users

So far I've counted 8 times I've mentioned Hubski in comments on Reddit (looking on my profile page). I've been trying to get people to migrate over from Reddit because this place is great and unique, but similar enough to be competition for Reddit. I personally really like it.

|"Team Periwinkle" or whatever the fuck that was.

The joke was that Reddit bought Team Fortress 2, and implemented the game on Reddit.

kittypuppet  ·  3810 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: How many of you are ex redditors?

Yep, really dumb move on their part.

kittypuppet  ·  3810 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: How many of you are ex redditors?

I too, kept my username.

Be sure to spread the word all over Reddit when you get the chance!

My thought is that if we get enough people to switch over, the admins will take us more seriously.

It'll probably be like Reddit where memes will get a tag to themselves (probably #memes)

|It also breaks a lot of smaller subreddits routines like holding competitions that didnt take downvotes into effect.

Especially this. The sub I run holds a yearly contest, and this year I was considering taking a tally of the total number of upvotes instead the most liked percentage wise, but that idea just got thrown out the window because of this update.

>In the space of seconds you'll see it dance to 6/1, 4/2, 5/0,

You can't. Not anymore at least, and it's something that bothers me about the change. You will never know if it was (5/0) or (1000/995). They don't even give percentages for votes.

edit: whoops, still not used to hubski's formatting..
