Comments thread: [ 3248](3D" Unsubscribe links are at the bottom of this message. =20 =20 ________________________ A message = from Drew Curtis: ____________________= ____ A few quick notes: Next Monday we're going to be r= unning a no-adblock test to see what impact that has on ad revenues. = If it's minor, that'll be the end of it. If it's substantial, we'll p= robably end up leaving it in place going forward. As I mentioned in e= arlier NotNewsletters, ad revenues are way off due to the pandemic, and as = such, we need to take action to keep the lights on going forward. Tha= nks to all of you who have signed up for [TotalFark](3D" ads-free = [BareFark](3D"), and bought Farks2Give and the [OhFark](3D" pand= emic badge have done heroic work helping us keep going during these coronav= irus times. Sign up if you haven't, it helps very much! In oth= er news, the [Far= k and Schnitt podcast](3D"=) is going on a hiatus due to the state of the curr= ent news cycle. We're running into a double whammy of less available = weird material in the news cycle and less of a public appetite for offbeat = stuff. Switching to a real news format is problematic because of the speed = at which things are moving, it doesn't lend itself to a weekly format. = ; So we're going to hit pause for a bit until calmer times and hopefully be= back soon. The Fark Livestream continues on, however, since it's mo= re of a daily format as well as more breaking news oriented. Dallan a= nd I will be live at [my Twitch channel](3D"ht=) at = 7 Eastern today with a roundup of what's really important today, especially= the items that got overlooked by most folks. We'll be streaming news= again Thursday, time TBA. This Friday's Livestream at probably 7 p.= m. is going to be a special event - Drew and Dallan are going head to head = against some of Fark's top link submitters playing Quiplash. For those not = familiar, it's like Cards Against Humanity except you write the answers you= rself, funniest one wins. We're probably going to get our butts hande= d to us, these folks are seriously talented. You can also get an "audience"= slot where you can vote for the winner, so definitely come check it out an= d participate. We may have a couple audience slots open if anyone wan= ts to jump in the game with us. Probably happening at 7 p.m., bu= t keep an eye out on the main page as it gets closer to time. __________= ______________ We now return you to your usual Fark NotNewslette= r. ________________________ Top Comments Some of the top-voted smartest= and funniest comments from the past week Funny: bthom37 [had to correct an assert= ion](3D"https://w=) that Suflig shared about [Drew's famous time travel tweet](3D") eurotrader sought to [clarif= y what the previous comment was disagreeing with](3D" sirrerun = strong> thought that [an angry cyclist = looked a little familiar](3D"ht=) Prank Call of Cthulhu [praised a gentleman's weapon of choice](3D") = Shostie figured out [how a creepy dad could get his desired revenge on a man for sleeping with = his daughter](3D" Colour_out_of_Space summed up the tho= ughts of [men who are overly concerned = about their daughters' virginity](3D"=) Magorn figur= ed [an incel might have made himself ev= en more incelly](3D"=) lurkey had advice for [people who were trying to beat off an angry archer=](3D") Palined Parenthood was [not happy with the statement Nordstrom put out after their Seat= tle store was looted](3D" Stands With A Tiny Fist [corrected a belief about Ford Mustangs](3D") Smart: Butterflew figured that [two of the cops being new to the job explained one= officer's behavior with George Floyd](3D") Elegy [felt a little sorry for one of the officers = involved in Floyd's death](3D") Private_Citizen noted&nb= sp;[differences in two autopsy reports](3D")Walker thought that there was [a sadly appropriate warning that Floyd had coronavirus](3D") = aperson liked the idea of [police officers learning something from the U.S. military](3D" IvanTheSilent had some thoughts on [the difference between police unions and other unions](3D") BumpInTheNight started to [see the appeal of Google Glass](3D" koder had = [a different kind of theory about Floyd's de= ath](3D") Flappyhead noticed [some cities that didn't experience destruction during protests Prank Call of Cthulhu](3D" a gentleman's weapon of choice](3D" CSB Sunday Mornin= g: [Allowances and the chores that came with them](3D"=) Smart: basicstock [cleaned for love a= nd now loves to clean](3D"http=) Funny: CommieTaoist = made [a small error while polishing th= e furniture](3D".=) CSB [Cool Story, Bro] Sunday Morning is a thread for= Farkers to share true stories from their own lives based on a weekly topic= .
