This is why you always keep separate savings accounts away from a spouse.

This beautiful, it has a hook in both directions. Like a little piece of art sitting here on the site.


I am downvoting xwdv because I want him to keep posting.


You just helped me notice/discover the downvote button. Still don't wanna use it tho, I like to focus on the positive except where there's an ultimatum like that lol. I will fall in line for the occasion

Your username bio is hilarious--and it is also consistent with your advice.

Have an upvote (on your way to 1K)


I just viewed their profile. They're at 999 karma. Trying to figure out if they have a bot monitoring their own karma that invokes a bot to down vote some other comments of theirs....

UPDATE: Something has to be involved... Or karma aggregation/recalculation isn't instant. I just upvoted their comment, they're still at 999. LOL.


I was hoping they try to straddle 1000, while below 1000 they try post karma gaining comments, while above 1000 they try post karma losing comments, changing their bio depending on the mode (maybe having a bot maintain the bio)


I don’t think I will ever truly reach 1000 karma.
