@AndreascondemnsIsrael eh, it could be either.

Sure TPTB in Iran is crazy and hates protesters, but it could just as well be "hijab saviors" capitalizing on the opportunity to vent self-righteously.

Only people close to that woman would know for sure.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael indeed!

@AndreascondemnsIsrael C is bigger than B.

@M.A.R. how close?

Enough?

Ah good ol free peach

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/403885/… little confused by the bounty on this

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek the bounty message is very clear when in context of the vandalism here. Frustrated user. I'll flag to have the bounty revoked.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Tinkeringbell A little curious why you cleared the pending delete vote on meta.stackexchange.com/posts/403921/revisions

@ShadowWizard Now we know why

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog it has useful answer, why delete it?

We should not delete all closed questions, it is wrong. Especially with duplicates, which are on topic.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard I mean, I guess but why my question, and is the reputation going to /dev/null ?

Cause I definately don't want it :D

ah nice, what a mess

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog it was also clear before that.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@ShadowWizard It's a non-useful duplicate - it doesn't contain additional search terms that would help find the target. There's a reason why the system allows high-rep users to vote to delete answered questions - because they're evaluating the usefulness of the question. The answer author can repost their answer on the target if it gets deleted, or request that the posts be merged.

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek the OP doesn't care about it, that's why such bounties are invalid.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog well, I disagree, but not a mod. Just my likely reasoning why mods don't want it deleted.

Shadow Wizard

10:08

@Sonic well, this is example for a closed question with answer, that should be deleted, IMO.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard I feel like it is a perfect teaching moment, if one wishes to learn

Shadow Wizard

11:03

@JourneymanGeek but I think it's quite obvious at this point, at least for me, that this one does not wish to learn. Their mind is set, decision is final.

Journeyman Geek

Which is why I posted a comment, not an answer, and on further contemplation a delete vote :D

Shadow Wizard

heh

Gone along with all the user's rep, though it will be likely re-calculated soon.

Shadow Wizard

11:59

New user barge and post several "free tools" link only "answers" - that can't really be legit.

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog we didn't mean to but fingers slipped and accidents happened.

Shadow Wizard

If mod agree with del vote, the mod can just, well, delete?

Tinkeringbell

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog fat-fingered the wrong button while trying to decline a flag on mobile. I did message the OP to let them know that accidentally marked their flag helpful and that they shouldn't flag posts for deletion.

rene

@ShadowWizard we know what we can and can't do. Thanks for reminding us.

Shadow Wizard

12:16

@rene you know what I mean. I think? If the mod wrongly cleared delete vote, it means they agree with the deletion, otherwise it won't be "wrongly". So why not delete it?

Unless I miss something, which is always an option.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard or they wrongly delete voted

and we can't 'just' clear a delete vote

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek ah, from Sonic's initial message here I thought the delete vote was his, and he was wondering why mods cleared it.

Journeyman Geek

well yes. Someone flagged to delete too tho :D

and undeletion is all or nothing

rene

let's blame modding on mobile and move on.

Shadow Wizard

!!/blame modding on mobile

Nice. OK, moving on! :D

Elements In Space

12:27

Oops. What’d I do?

I don’t do modding on mobile.

Shadow Wizard

@ElementsInSpace invented mobile, of course, hence causing a mod to do something in error. :D

Journeyman Geek

@ElementsInSpace You know what you did.

DO NOT DENY DOING THE THING YOU DID

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek last summer.

Journeyman Geek

It dosen't matter when it was done

Elements In Space

It was probably an accident

Shadow Wizard

12:31

@ElementsInSpace heh, reminds me of a movie I watched recently... (on TV)

Beautiful Disaster (film)

Beautiful Disaster is a 2023 American romantic comedy drama film directed and written by Roger Kumble. Based on Jamie McGuire's 2011 novel, the film follows Abby, a college freshman, in hopes to reinvent herself while trying to resist her attraction to bad boy, Travis. The film was released in theaters on April 12, 2023, and was released digitally on May 2, 2023. A sequel, Beautiful Wedding was released in theaters on January 24, 2024. == Plot == Abby Abernathy, groomed from a young age by her father to excel at cards, leaves her home in Las Vegas in hopes of reinventing herself in college. She...

Elements In Space

I saw that post and I thought skip. Or whatever you are all talking about.

Shadow Wizard

@ElementsInSpace skip indeed! :)

Elements In Space

I think I’ll skip that film as well. The plot summary doesn’t interest me, and the reviews are not good.

@ElementsInSpace @Sha is hopeless when it comes to consuming the junk food equivalent of movies

@ShadowWizard no more than 10 feet

@ShadowWizard omg cringe alert

My face withdrew on itself after seeing that poster

That's not junk food, it's bloody polonium tea

@JourneymanGeek friendly reminder that frees peach doesn't mean you can go around and say anything you like without repercussions

There's frees peach, and there's protecteds peach.

Journeyman Geek

eats a peach without repercussions

Protected peach is a peach tree with a fence around it

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. feet or foot?

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizard foots

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. add an "s" and you get something much worse!

@M.A.R. foods!

@M.A.R. spoiler: the bad boy isn't bad at all.

M.A.R.

13:12

@ShadowWizard goods

Shadow Wizard

But yeah, the movie was so bizarre at some points that even I considered to click the stop button. :D

More like, ridiculous.

M.A.R.

Your penalty is watching 2001 ten times over

Or Blade Runner's Director's Boringly Extended Cut

We have to recalibrate your movie taste buds or it's going to get worse

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R. hehe, mission impossible is easy compared to this. :D

Journeyman Geek

13:38

@M.A.R. Ooh, I see you're trying to offend people today :D

I mean, what's the best cut, the studio-meddling voice over cut? :D

Shadow Wizard

14:11

But if you run on a blade, you should expect to be, well, cut.
