Should the queue escape limit be raised? *Please read before voting (User Poll by EDD)

^yes i know i could set this up in RSS for myself, but that's just for me, that wouldn't have community-wide benefits. and many people including myself can't be arsed with RSS.

as for the "cliquey" thing... so what? you have to break the site down somehow, it's too big. doing it with channels doesn't work.

>> ^deputydog:

dig a bit deeper around here, stop upvoting videos of cats wanking just because a friend submitted them and who knows - maybe the top 15 will change for the better.


unfortunately that's like putting a sign on a broken door saying "please close the door" instead of fixing the door.

@dag all i am really proposing is you have a "follow" button on people's profiles, and a "mysift" tab in the menu or filter in the queue/sifted pages that shows only sifts from those members you are following. then you could probably cut out a lot of the other high serverload dynamic stuff in the sidebar that currently tries to attract people to user profiles and playlists every time a page loads. just an idea. because users are a more predictable guide to "quality" than channels.

What the Problem Is Is "Is Is"

>> ^budzos:
I know a guy who often uses words incorrectly and then when I call him on it he tells me "the english language is constantly evolving."
What about the apostrophes everywhere? These days people use an apostrophe at every opportunity. You see it most often in pluralization. The plural of "DVD" is "DVDs", not "DVD's"! I for one find it distracting to run into an unexpected apostrophe, because suddenly I'm wondering "The DVD is what?"
Here is the rule for when you can use an apostrophe to pluralize: Never.



Actually DVD's is considered correct by some people as it indicates the omitted letters between the second D and the s. DVD(isc)s

But the worst I ever saw was Mar's Bar's. It's annoying because it shows people trying to use apostrophes and failing.

Of course, if we just used the genitive case properly these problems wouldn't exist... oh... we stopped using that. maybe you should all complain that people don't speak German properly.

@silma, what seems an improvement "to you" is completely irrelevant. And "unnecessary" words are absolutely everywhere in speech, but i don't see you trying to remove them all.

Britain from above: London taxis in rush hour

MINK says...

downvote for the usual BBC overdramatisation of something fucking mundane.

"We've got hold of the GPS data of some taxis"

WOW. did James Bond have to break into the Russian Embassy to get that shit?

It was definitely worth spending thousands of pounds of license payers' money on an animation, to teach the nation this amazing fact that london taxis drive around in london.
