I find reddit is just entertaining due to how people act in the discussions.

Very sad.

Yeah I saw that too; it's all over the world news.
That yacht was supposedly unsinkable.
I think the crew forgot to close the windows, and the doors.

They're going to lift the yacht from the ocean's floor; we'll find out more.
The keel; was it in the up or down position?
The anchor; was it still attached to the chain or not?
Was alcohol involved in the crew?
That huge tall mast; what role did it play in the full affair?
Etc., etc., etc. ... The full investigation to see who's or what's to blame for this very sad tragedy where seven people lost their lives.

* That was a very nice yacht; unique for a one-mast sailing ship.

The people on the Quora and Reddit message boards are highly uncivilized, but nothing like the message boards that used to be on the Internet Movie Database that are now on moviechat.org and webarchive.org.

The news, newspaper and tabloid websites’ message boards have or had these problems, too, which is why People Magazine and TMZ’s websites abolished them. All news, newspaper, tabloid’s websites should do the same.

This website’s message boards are far superior to those other boatload of websites’ message boards!

Meh I wouldn’t say there’s any advantage. It’s more convenient than anything as it’s all in one place. They’ve got a crappy chat function.

I’m still prefer the traditional message boards.

You just get badges that get you nothing!

I prefer the traditional boards as well. I get the impression that you can find a lot of nastiness in Reddit but I don't know if I've actually seen it. At first, I was wondering if Wabo was joking. I would have assumed that most people have heard of it even if they don't use it. I do notice that when I google things, a lot of Reddit posts come up. Google "How to get rid of weeds permanently" and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the first links was to a Reddit thread. Can't imagine you'd find too much nastiness in that kind of post hehe

Well I'm listening to Jay-Z's Lost One and it's a great song. I still couldn't say that, without a doubt, Jay-Z is my favorite rapper but he's very close to the top if he's not number one.

The mast was extremely tall and unusual.

Is it confirmed they’ll be raising it? They’ll need a lot of viagra to do so.

You can't redeem the badges for like a reddit tote? Lame.

I think season 2 of The Orville had an episode about a planet who's populous lived by the upvote/downvote system. Too many downvotes and it was off to be reprogrammed.

Yeah, I always thought it was a mishmash of different forums. But thought maybe it was more than that. So when sf brought it up I got curious and thought I'd ask.

Speaking of weeds, they're really bad this year. I can't keep up. Being the end of August I've kinda thrown in the towel. Downvote on weeds.

I'm ready for another dog, but I want a fence first, which won't be happening anytime soon. Sigh

* The world's second-tallest mast.
** Yes they are going to raise the boat from the ocean's floor to the surface.
They have a team of experts and the tools required ... no sweat.

That's how I learned that the ship will be raised to the surface.
Also why it sank.

Good luck, good night, god bless and stay alive...sleep tight.

For him or for yourself?

I tried to go into this film with an open mind as it’s been a while.

It still sucks & is a complete mess.
