Unfortunately, I think there is a pretty easy way for them to detect comments that were deleted/edited with the intent of making them useless to Reddit: check the age of the comment/post when it was modified.
Whether they would bother to do this is a different question.

I'd be interested in your results a few weeks/months from now.

I also think most of the back sides are just generally uninspired - bland, almost AI-like look, no interesting (or even aesthetic) themes. Many of the front sides I liked, so this is disappointing.

This just made me realize that Ryan Howard from The Office is The Little Man from Inglorious Basterds...
Somehow I never noticed.

IMO You should add that detail to your top-level comment, as it's going to be seen by more people than this clarification that definitely runs counter to how I interpreted your comment.

The problem is not their personal account but the communities they manage, which are presumably also stuck on piefed and much more cumbersome to migrate and rebuild.

From another of PugJesus' comments in this thread:

Yeah, as a user, it's great to have options. If I was just an ordinary user, this probably wouldn't even faze me. I'd hop over to Piefed.ca or something.

Unfortunately, I run several large comms who I managed to just about get to functioning without me...

... three times, so far, just before having to migrate and start the process all over again.

I have to agree.

Poe's law is a bitch as always, but between the display name, the flags and the message itself (particular words as well as the fact that the statement is bordering on incoherent), I'm fairly certain this position is not sincerely held by the poster.
Now, whether it's a leftist satirizing unhinged right-wingers or a troll account posing as leftist to portray them as deranged - your guess is as good as mine (though I'm leaning toward the former).

The kneejerk reactions are justified IMO. You don't need to "minimize" peas and carrots to have a healthy diet. Obviously they shouldn't be all you eat, but that holds for pretty much all foods - balance is key.

There's several issues with your source.

First, it would have been nice of you to link to the relevant figure so others aren't forced to comb through the whole thing.

Second, it's important to point out that this data only shows correlation. The data is interesting for sure, but one should be cautious about demonizing a particular food group based on this alone, considering that the main point of the study was to analyze the health benefits of particular diets rather than food groups.
(note also that fast/fried foods got a positive score, which makes me further apprehensive about drawing quick conclusions from this data)

Third, this study focused on health professionals only. I don't know why it shouldn't generalize to the general population but it is not a given that it does.

Most importantly, it is not clear (to me at least) that peas and carrots are part of the category "starchy vegetables" according to this study. I couldn't find any explicit description of the categories, please let me know if there is one in the study or one of its sources.
From what I could find online, peas can be considered starchy vegetables, but carrots usually aren't. For instance, this site classifies both carrots and some types of peas as non-starchy.

To that point: it's 2 factor authentication. That is, proving who you are through 2 different factors, usually something you know (a password) + something you have (a physical device) or something you are (biometrics).
The point is that "something you know" can often be easily acquired by malicious third parties and it is generally much harder for them to gain access to "something you have" or "something you are". Thus requiring 2 different factors blocks most nefarious access attempts.

Authorization is a separate, different step that, usually after having already proven you are who you say you are, verifies whether you're allowed to do what you're trying to do. This generally doesn't require multiple factors because you've got nothing left to prove: the system knows all about what you're permitted to do.

Mnemonic:

• authentication: you are an authentic person (as opposed to impersonating someone)
• authorization: you are authorized to perform an action

Because it's a repost.
If you go to the original, OP actually has the top comment explaining exactly that: "idiots" refers to MS treating their customers as such, not a judgement by OP.

I down vote this for several reasons:

• I think getting an even vote split adds to the meta-irony
• The straight-forward reading is of course obnoxious and misguided
• That is in part because it's an over-the-top caricature, and the implication is that voting for sightly less bad candidates that might win is worse than voting for better candidates that have no chance or not voting at all
• I personally find meta-irony humorous but I think it's detrimental to political discourse

Could you elaborate on the 70% figure? A quick search returns multiple hits suggesting the 70% number is actually related to agriculture, not electricity production. See e.g. here.

Or did you mean 70% of the water used be data centers?
