I seriously considered posting this as an answer to the sticky top bar question so I could include alt text. But for now, I've left it as a comment with an external link to the alt text
It was a busy week here but good. Looking forward to catching up with some friends that I haven't seen in a while this weekend. Going to a friend's for board games. They just had knee surgery so they aren't able to venture out at the moment
I haven't crocheted in a long time @Tinkeringbell I kind of miss it. My grandma taught me. My partner's mom crochets. In NYC living space is small so I feel like when I moved here I unconsciously made a decision to only focus on one type of craft because I didn't have the space for all of the supplies.
@Rosie Heh, yeah. Crafting supplies can take up a lot of space! Unless your other craft involves yarn, then having a few hooks extra doesn't really matter ;)
Yup @Rob rent is absolutely insane here. My partner and I both have rentals that we've kept for now because of being such great details for here but neither is our ideal forever place. We're lucky that we don't have a time crunch when it comes to moving but looking for housing in NYC is such a soul crushing experience
I guess Marble Hill is far from the server; gotta include rent differential in the wages. 馃榾
Moving is a pain. I've lived 10-15 years in the last few places, basically everyone else moves (even the landlord sells the property) and I'm still there; but I choose carefully for amenities.
I bought an apartment two years ago, will be getting keys next month... and I don't think I plan on ever moving. Maaaaaaybe I might move once (probably in 20 years then, when the home loan needs to be renewed for the last 10 years anyways), to a place with an extra bedroom I can turn into an office/craft room, but things don't really get better than what I have now.
I keep hearing horror stories from others, but I've luckily never heard anyone mention paying 4k a month in rent alone...

@Wolgwang The author loses a stupid amount of reputation, the waffles will burn (!!), the unicorns will sulk (!!!), and we'll have to wait for 6-8 weeks for everything to die down.
Yes, I know. When a user is removed, or they delete their accounts their upvotes and downvotes are removed. But tonight I lost 2,134 rep. That's a lot. Seriously. This is no laughing matter. I just wish I could lose weight this easily...
And, apart from anything else, I thought the down and up...
@Dudecoinheringaahing Another contender (though a Staff member mentioned that the reversal was more aggressive than intended and it was lightened later) meta.stackoverflow.com/q/408562/11171084 , at -3429 in one swoop
@Tinkeringbell I remember not too long ago that users reported relatively decent rep loss, yeah, presumably from a profile deletion. I don't know the specific one you're speaking about though.
In the event I refer to, I believe I only lost around 60 but others mentioned somewhere in the ballpark of 200 or something like that.
FWIW, I believe it was voluntary self-deletion and the CM handling it decided to remove the votes.
I woke up this morning to find that I suffered a massive drop in reputation points across the network because lots of users had been removed.
What happened to those users? Was there a database cleanup?
@伪位蔚蠂慰位蠀蟿 They can sit for several months, with no votes. The system in place has too few users who could vote and a difficult to find interface; usually mods make the approval. See: meta.stackexchange.com/a/265817/282094
@伪位蔚蠂慰位蠀蟿 A recent one could have received -2 votes and been removed while better suggestions did not get +4 and so they remain until they hit -2 or +4. See: meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/suggest-tag-synonyms - You could try asking a mod in chat or post on the site's per-site-meta a discussion explaining why you think it's necessary (hopefully drawing a tiny number of people to notice, which is hard to do on some sites). See my link above, the related questions, and
