When downvotes are disabled on an instance; they’re just not displayed to that instances users. Nor is the downvote button displayed (so those users can’t downvote).
The instance will still receive and track downvotes from outside instances; showing the data to other instances that don’t hide it. The data is still there, it’s just that the instance admins chose to not display them to their own users.
Seems to work (see my test comment on your other post)
Instead of addressing the horn sound itself, I’ve addressed the underlying need/desire for it.
Addding a sorry button wouldn’t make things safer or chill tempers, it’d just empower more people to make dangerous moves; playing it off as fine because ‘I pressed the sorry button, people should be ok with me endangering them’
The rules of the road exist for good reason. When people don’t follow them, it effects more than just themselves and has cost many people their lives through no fault of their own.
Be a better driver; don’t make others pay for your poor planning and judgement.
Even OP appears to agree with this, given their reply and upvote on my comment.
A good example of why humanity is doomed: people are shackled to their reflexive need to jerk off their egos at any and every opportunity they see rather than focus on thinking.
An interesting double-standard you have there.
Implying I’m somehow a bad person for pointing out and discussing the consequences of these choices instead of just patting OP on the back and agreeing with their desire - without actually providing any meaningful counter argument to what I’ve said.
“A bad driver never misses their exit”
Sometimes you make a mistake and miss your exit or end up in the wrong lane. That’s on you. Re-route, follow the lane you’re in, take the next safe turn/exit/lane change to get back on track; you don’t just cut in line, forcing others to correct for your own mistakes. That’s a great way to create unsafe conditions, end up in accidents, and hurt people. It’s not just about peoples ego/anger, it’s genuinely dangerous.
Your father doesn’t need a ‘sorry’ button, he needs to correct his poor driving behaviour and not endanger himself, you, or others on the road.
I guess you’ll just have to put unsweetened bawls in your mouth then.

The Shut Me Up music video was great. It was all over my high school for quite a while.
It’s time for you to wake up, and take me, to the baggle shop, for a baggle with cream cheese, that creamy creamy cheese, OR FACE MY SQUIRRELY RATH!
I do have squirrely wrath you know. It’s one of those, hidden nature things.
William Osman can show you all about the hell that is automated packaging machines…
Though he’s got a special scenario where he’s trying to package soda concentrate instead of something solid like a cookie:
my laundry detergent proudly had “gluten-free” on the packaging.
I wonder if this has anything to do with Tide Pods and tiktok… Lmao
Boost has push notifications, but it’s not very good at pushing them until you’ve opened the app… They don’t seem to come up when the app is in the background.
Ps. I haven’t touched reddit since the big ‘fuck spez’ movement. Moved here instead.
When the shower is literally alone in its own room, that’s a little different.
I’m talking about when the full bathroom; toilet, sink, and shower, are all in the one uninterrupted space.
Did Dave piss on the damn toilet seat again, or is it just splash from the shower? 🤷🏻
OFC, this is all on my multimillion dollar yacht after all…
My fav is the ones that just say fuck it and make the whole bathroom into a shower; as if people don’t keep anything else in the bathroom, like idk towels or the clothes you’re putting on after you shower…
I didn’t want a practical bathroom anyway…
I got a photo of his drivers license shortly before that, (needed his ID to close and cash out an RESP that had been setup for me in 2007).
In his DL photo, he looks like he’s had a really rough time since we left. Like he’s aged 30 years in half that time. The metadata of the photo shows it was taken at his moms house.
Serves him right.
Part of me sent the videos to see if he cared, part of me just wanted to make him remember he had a happy family and a fairly good life; until he ruined it.
Life hasn’t been easy for any of us, but this side of the family at least still has eachother. It’s the only thing that’s kept us going TBH.
(Part of) His response:
“Its bitter/ sweet to recall those happy times but i cherish that you choose to share them with me.”
148g with a google search.
What type of store is this in?
Gas stations, or department stores around me gouge the shit out of you for snacks/candy. Easily $5-6cad for a chocolate bar. A dollar store though, usually sells an Oh Henry (~58g) for $1.25 or $2 for a ‘share size’ (the 2 smaller bars in one package ~82g).
Still not great, but much better than $6.50 (USD I assume)
My mother returned to Canada to visit her mother who was slowly dying of ALS. (Where I was born. We had moved to my fathers home country when I was 10, to see his side of the family and experience more of the world)
During her whole absence, my father cheated on her with various women, even taking me on a couple of his dates. When she got back and found out, she decided to leave permanently.
I (12m) was given the option of staying with either. I chose to go with her.
In the last week before I was to leave; he said he wanted to spend time with me and took me out to a couple ‘fun tourist attractions’. A jet boat ride, a zipline, some random park. Each of these, he brought one of his girlfriends that he’d been cheating with (not the same one each time). We also went to at least one of their houses, as well as his weed dealers hidden under-house grow-op/party room thing. More focused on his dates than actually spending any time with me. Avoiding time with me had been a common theme throughout our lives/relationship.
I later learned he’d abused my older step-sister when she was much younger…
I’ve deliberately not spoken to him since. ~15 years later I sent him a couple old family videos I’d digitised (with my sister censored out of them), of when I was born and a few of the years immediately after. Mostly as a reminder of what he threw in the trash.
From what I’ve heard, he ended up homeless and jobless for quite a while and now lives with his mother.
I don’t think that’s true, just because I’m pretty sure even users that aren’t explicitly subscribed still see the downvotes. I could be wrong 🤷🏻
Either way, the data is still there and is passed around to those that choose to see it. Disabling downvotes doesn’t actually prevent items being downvoted, it just hides them from those that don’t want to see it.
