Yeah, that's what I've heard, which is why I'm going to update... whenever I get around to it, I suppose.

What the hell did I just watch?
A bittersweet song about moving on in life. Yes, despite the deceptively happy tunes. Certain cultures like Lyrical Dissonance more than others, I've noticed.

Lyrical dissonance, that's what it's called?
Anyways have some more;
Foster the People, Pumped up Kicks. Took a while before people caught on that it was about some kid fantasizing about shooting 'all the other kids.' I'm not sure if ones like Paranoid Android count where they don't emphasize the lyrics so it's easy to miss that they're about violence, insanity and dictatorships. Dégénérations does this quite well where the song builds up to a joyous finale whist lyrically everything degenerates with each generation. Feel Good Inc of course :D Also All these things that I have done by the Killers have some of that stuff about moving on, though it also has many other things

Can't grab a link easily,  as on phone but stones roses - made of stone is a great one. So beautiful til you actually listen to the lyrics

One of my favourite lyrical dissonance songs, though it's in Japanese:
Drive Me Crazy by kirinji
Translation here.

Once you start actually following the lyrics the laid-back singing becomes pretty disturbing.

this topic is about all I can see on Bay 12, and we're not in a feature-making devcycle so it's not as noticeable, but on reddit it's completely awful. Every single time Toady decides to do anything that isn't bugfixes, people immediately say how stupid it is that he wants to develop instead of making bugfixes because he never does that I guess. They then disappear until the next development cycle, at which point they come out in full force to whine.

no, i don't think so

i mean i know that making fun of an "other" is a very normal thing to do and i'm not blaming you for it but the upper boards at the very least are about as bad

Yeah, but Reddit's also a pretty poor site in general. They don't even use decent forum s0ftware

okay but reddit isn't a forum so why would you expect them to?

it's a content aggregator and commenting system, trying to make it a forum would make it far poorer at that

edit: and i say this as somebody who doesn't have an account and mostly only looks at it when google tells me something i want is there

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Hey, see how I just quoted your entire post to reply to you instead of Bauglir?
With threaded discussion software you don't have to do that.  It shows who's replying to whom intuitively and effortlessly, which (in my opinion) is just better for actual discussion.  Or you can just reply to the OP just as easily.  You can even still put a picture next to your name if you really want, depending on subreddit moderators allows that.

Say what you will about the Reddit community (as if it's not literally a thousand different communities with separate moderation and rules), but Slashdot/Reddit have purely better software than Simple Machines.

No they don't.

Seriously, if that design is so much better, everyone would be using it.
