Pascal's Wager is an argument in apologetic philosophy devised by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). It posits that humans all bet with their lives either that God exists or not. Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming an infinite gain or loss associated with belief or unbelief in said God (as represented by an eternity in heaven or hell), a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury...

CupcakePlease provide an option to hide just Meta posts in the Community Bulletin from me. I still want to see Stack Overflow Blog posts though, because I want to stay up-to-date on new features and stuff. Jeff was right. Meta Is Murder. I've decided that I don't really want to participate in Meta all ...

Read Meta every second of every day for the rest of your life. If Stack Overflow is crack, then Meta is 100% pure grade-A Colombian snow. Some people find Meta to be way more interesting than the questions they find over on the main site. — Cupcake Jul 29 '14 at 21:05

Q: Hide the Community Bulletin

AstroCBAbout Do you ever find yourself spending too much time on Meta and not enough time answering "real" questions? This script will hide links to per-site metas from the Community Bulletin, which is a main route to Meta. However, featured Meta Stack Exchange posts, announcements, events, blog post...

user259867
@AlexisKing Drupal is arguably the most international site on SE: only 22% visitors come from the U.S., versus 13% from India (in 2nd place). And it seems that spam originates on the subcontinent, bases on its timing.
 
It's on such a regular basis that it's almost comical.

@MetaWonder It makes sense... but it does not look like a comment that adds something. Sure, the mobile team has to manage their projects and their time is limited. When we post feature requests, we are not deciding what they have to do. They will.
 
@MetaWonder In other words, we provide ideas for developers, and they will decide if it's worthy their development time. Otherwise, what's the point of having ;)
