The fun of seeing someone saying something controversial inadvertently, then watch the personal fanatically trying to bury said tweet under snows of other random tweet for either distraction or balance out the controversial tweet purposes. Also fun to watch my fat wyandotte chick being chased, slips and falls on the tile, the just sits there waiting to be captured (by me).

Fwiw, the level of false negatives is high for all comment flag types; relatively few comments get flagged period, even when they unarguably should be. There are too many comments. — Shog9 ♦ 2 hours ago

user315433

One way to reduce false negatives is to raise more flags; the other, to post fewer comments to begin with.

user315433

Step 1: Read a question.
Step 2: Get annoyed with said question.
Step 3: Look for an outlet: downvote? weak sauce. close? yeah, like it'll get reviewed, and the reasons don't really fit. Comment? Sure, let them have it.

@TelKitty two new arrivals - the little one was weaned early - as his mother was starving - he has a problem with his back legs - I think it will sort out with nutrition and bandaging

user310756

he is 3 months tops - she is 4-5 months

@TelKitty exactly - I'll be locking her up at night - but I don't think she's quite due yet - couple of more weeks, I hope anyway

user202362

not due on the 20th?

user310756

yes around then - but there's that leeway either side

user310756

I'm hoping the foal is healthy and while she's still cooking and I'm feeding Tuppy supplements, it gives the foal a chance to develop healthy bones etc

I first need to know if starman is a real human or a robot. If he is a real human, how does he live? How many years can he live in that car?

Q: Are emoji allowed on Hinduism.StackExchange?

Personally I have found people to be rude on many, many SE sites. 😔 On a few occasions I have found that I was misinterpreting the other user's intent. I find that the skillful use of emoji prevents such misunderstandings and leads to an all-around warmer atmosphere. 😊 That is, they can make a ...
