  1. Upload Topic A
  2. Comments discuss Topic A
  3. OP edits post to Topic B
  4. Comments reflect Topic A discourse.

When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I've seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

All that said, I'm sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

I'm sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn't really matter too much in the end.

For me it's more kicking me while I'm down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!

"Courage means being scared but doing it anyway" seems like a pretty succinct way of putting it I think.

My wierd compliment (if it can be called that) was when I was in high school English class. My teacher noticed how competent I was and how I was the only one to consistently raise my hand when he asked a question. He gave us a research paper to do and I got an F on it, exclusively because I fucked up the citations. He said the content was good, but he had to mark me way down due to improper citing. He said "I know you can do better than this."

Is that a complement? Either way, I think about that interaction and scenario a lot even though I haven't been in high school for well over a decade.

I'm talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of "the mob", a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.

Or not. This is my take on his "democracy manifest" comment.

Yeah, someone's just having a bit of fun.

Unless there are multiple people registering patients, and one of them doesn't use punctuation.

You don't have to confirm or deny, but it sounds like you work for the navy.

Would you say that common sense changes with the generations? What was once common is no longer, and what was uncommon becomes common?

I used to work at a toy factory making plastic Draculas.

There were only two of us, so I had to make every second count.

I can't remember the brand, but the packaging looked like human food except for a very small piece of text in the corner that mentions its dog food.

It tasted like it just needed a little bit of salt or maybe ketchup, but was otherwise pretty good.

I've also knowingly had wet and dry dog food since then, just because i already took the plunge accidentally so how bad could it be?

Again, I can't remember the brands, but dry dog food is alright if you've literally nothing else. I'm sure some seasoning would help. I would recommend wet dog food though only because it's easier to season. Tastes mostly how it smells, just blander.
