It is ham fisted, but if you don't want to buy more servers, you have to rate limit in some fashion. I haven't looked into how the reddit code works, but if you have a huge thread, and everyone is slamming it, responding, reload, reload, reload, etc, that could be brutal to the database server. And every post to that thread increases the load when people want to reload it again.
I'm not saying it should be like that all the time, but during habbenings, it could be a useful tradeoff. If you can't serve the load, maybe you can simplify the load. You just can't magically say "allocate resources here" because that's already happening! It's not like td.w is randomly working on crap that people aren't asking for...
t. knows how internets work, was programmer
Edit: it's possible that there's some amazing caching on the server, but that doesn't seem likely.
The mods don't want anyone's money. Maybe they could build something in to rate limit everyone. You get one refresh every 2 minutes. One post every 10 minutes, and threads are capped at 200 responses. Hit the limit? Make a new thread. Everyone refreshing these monster 2k post threads isn't helping anything.
Edit: Actually, capping the threads at X number of posts might solve the issue itself.
I'd be more concerned if a 76 yr old man was propositioned by a 24 year old, and didn't go. Where's the problem here? He's not even married.
Let's recap: When you are 76 and a 24 year old gives you the green light, you go.
Oh hell yeah! Just when I think it's all lost, here come a senator with a letter! We are going to bury the swamp under letters, but not just letters, NO!, we are going to send strongly worded letters.
Ok, pedes, with me now:
What do we want?
LETTERS!
When do we want them?
NOW!!
Gosh guys, is this what winning feels like?
Yeah, every so often I try to watch something american, I'm always disappointed. These days I just watch japanese stuff, to the point where I feel like I should pick up some of the language. There's none of the SJW bullshit, unless it's making fun of them. Yeah, there's some annoying tropes (3 hot girls interested in a NEET) but it's nice not having to play "guess who is going to mug down on an ugly tranny" ("another life"). I mean, tranny was so ugly I didn't even know it was supposed to be a tranny, it just didn't even register, no uncanny valley, nothing.
Allegedly they had planned to meet with the FBI’s informant yesterday to “make a payment on explosives and exchange tactical gear.”
So, one guy says he has the gear, the three others egg on two mentally ill morons to go buy the goods. I bet the informants even gave the morons the money to do it.

Hey buddy, why don't you liberate the state, I have all the equipment and can get your whitmer's schedule...
I don't know what he thinks about anything really. I suspect he's romney v2.0 and he would be a return to the republican party selling out main street for wall street and china. I hope I'm wrong, I just haven't heard anything to say otherwise.
