"More people than ever being tits" would be people with guns shooting other people?
- anononaut 5y agoNot just other people, cops specifically. More than ever.
- thghtihadanacct 5y agoNo, 'other people' had a pretty record year murdering with guns too.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoWhoop whoop, this is the flamewar alarm. I go off whenever a flamewar approacheth. It's like TCAS: "Whoop whoop, don't reply! Whoop whoop, don't reply!" (More seriously, it's an interesting problem how to deal with threads like this. It seems almost deterministic based on a comment's initial wording. I guess the only effective approach is manual moderation, but I can't help but wonder if it'll be the same solution in 200 years.)
- klyrs 5y agoNot that interesting, really. Flag the root and don't respond. As you note, little good ever comes out of a thread with that kind of opening.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoPart of me really wants to try to train an ML model to auto detect such comments. Every time I see a pattern, I think "ML might be able to solve this..." But I know from experience that such feelings are often illusory.
