Rings, Titan, and Enceladus by DrJulianBashirin space

It just looks so distant and nippy. I'd definitely bring a windbreaker.

I upvoted you because people downvoted you for being modest and asking for someone to explain something relatively subtle that you didn't immediately understand. Those people are idiots.

Hey reddit, my friend Micah Dalton released his album, Blue Frontier, today. What do you think? by khalestormin Music

This is actually pretty damn good. I'm getting massive Jim James vibes from his voice.

For me, the impact of this story depends greatly on the type of organ inside the cooler.

Whelp, it's 7:30 AM and my day is complete.

President Obama calls Sandra Fluke (Limbaugh 'slut' slander victim) to thank her for speaking out on behalf of women and to say that her parents should be proud. by jimmyslaysdragonsin politics

[–]jimmyslaysdragons[S] 61 points62 points ago

I looked up the definition of "slander" on the Legal Dictionary, and it said the following:

"To recover in a libel or slander suit, the plaintiff must show evidence of four elements: that the defendant conveyed a defamatory message; that the material was published, meaning that it was conveyed to someone other than the plaintiff; that the plaintiff could be identified as the person referred to in the defamatory material; and that the plaintiff suffered some injury to his or her reputation as a result of the communication."

I don't know how difficult it is to prove that last part, damage to a reputation. She might have a case, but I don't know how often people actually want to commit to years of legal tussling just because Rush Limbaugh gets to be a huge, festering anus wart on the radio every day. It's a tough call. Maybe someone with more legal experience can chime in.

Thanks for this. I just looked up some youtube-to-mp3 conversion sites so that I can listen to this on my way to work.

What good is a wish list when my spirits have been so thoroughly crushed?

Seriously though, this whole thread has provided quite a bit of insight into Reddit's affliction with group mentality. First, I suffer unexplained downvotes (likely bots), but then see an immediate turnaround with dozens of upvotes the moment I ask why I'm being downvoted. Then you come along and declare that I'm "bitching," and suddenly I'm blitzed with downvotes again, dragging me from ~40 down to 15. Not only that, but I'm christened the bad guy of the thread, so no matter what I say I'm downvoted more. Forget that my original comment might have contained useful substance.

Obviously this all matters greatly, what with comment karma being a finite resource and all.

Sounds logical.

Edit: I was asking about the downvotes because minutes after I first posted the comment, I went down to -3 without any explanation. I wrote that edit and then things turned around. Now you've pointed out that I bitched about it and we're heading back toward equilibrium. Hivemind, you fickle beast.
