Flair is now an integral part of the reddit experience. For example, in sports subreddits, it identifies team loyalty. Can we add it to the iPhone app? by notBritin AlienBlue

CSS parsing? Maybe AB has integrated a CSS parser into AB iPad because the screen is bigger and can accommodate more things.

Benicio Del Toro instead of Banda! I'm silly.

I totally agree that if you refuse to learn it then you're a complete arsehole. However, most people that come over here to live will learn the language if they want a better life. It takes time to learn a language. And maybe my analogy was wrong. Antonio Banderas would have been a better person to use, as he couldn't speak English when he was in The Usual Suspects.

I think all of the cool, custom-looking design stuff you see on the browser is all CSS, or style sheets. I'm pretty sure your acronyms would fall into the same category I'm afraid. By the sounds of a few posts on here, and also by a post I put up earlier, AB is limited in what it can do because of the Reddit API, or what Reddit provides third party developers. I'm sure Jase Morrissey would, in the words of the popular meme, Incorporate All The Things! if he could, but it's difficult when Reddit haven't even integrated/provided stuff themselves. Tagging a la RES would be awesome. But at least you can see this; 🍻 Edit: I hope you can see this and it's not just a box....

Correct me if I'm wrong but iPhone apps and Alien Blue are coded in Objective C and Cocoa, so I think the CSS style sheets that are used in the browser experience wouldn't work as they use WebView. AB would have to be a web app for this to work.

NSFL tag? Sorry if this has been addressed already. I think this would be helpful. by theidlecapitalistin AlienBlue

Ah, that's good to know. I'm sure this request is something Reddit must get a lot then.

A look at 'lad' culture in British Universities. by Robinooin unitedkingdom

[–]theidlecapitalist 12 points13 points ago

I'm talking about a very specific type of person at university; the whole point of the article was talking about 'lads' and how they act. Nowhere in my comment did I denote or make allusion to the fact that I think 100% of guys at university act like that therefore I think 100% of guys at university are dicks. I am referring to those lads, and their friends, and all the lads that behave like a pack of drunken dogs, showing off and thinking they are God's gift to drinking/the opposite sex. Get off your high horse and stop being a contrarian. And why do some people have to bring race into an discussion?

Your dad and uncle. People that you know. Not some random guy you've never seen before, just to show off in front of your friends. Edit: he wouldn't have even considered it if he was on his own which makes him a coward and a bully. There is no funny side.

I am a member of a university gym despite being a working man. I was cycling past a bunch of 'lads' playing with their rugby ball and one of them pretended to throw it at me. I swerved an nearly fell off my bike. Called him a cunt and cycled off while they laughed hysterically. I went to uni and graduated last year and NEVER behaved like this. Fuck these dickhead guys, fuck them and their bullshit banter. But as long as they continue to get laid by drunk, shallow girls who dig this sort of thing it will carry on.

What's the most horrifying Wikipedia article you know of? by wontstoptalkingin AskReddit

[–]theidlecapitalist 0 points1 point ago

Update; I just finished the book on your recommendation... Very interesting. My commute to work has been flying by for two weeks. I love that period in history but being from the UK we learn very little US industrialisation/late 19th Century history at school. And who doesn't like a serial killer story!

David Cameron cheering: a meme is born by croutonsoupin unitedkingdom

Does a meme have to be made out of every photo? Can't the fact that he is patriotising in Merkel's face be funny enough without Impact white text?

The mental image of someone reaching under their desk for a bag of special occasion owls will live with me forever.
