Quality Contributions Report for October 2022

Y'all must be trying to kill me. The sheer volume of quality contribution reports, combined with the outrageous volume of text you maniacs generate every week, made this an astonishing month to be sorting through the hopper. By far the busiest month for AAQCs since I took over the task. This made winnowing them down especially challenging, and some very good posts simply didn't make the cut simply because the competition was so fierce.

Good job, everyone.

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful. Here we go:

Nothing makes me see red like people lying about this shit. It's the most scummy, insulting, manipulative, and (given that the internet never forgets) stupid things someone can do in a discussion.

And it makes me wonder what the point of any of this is if it all comes down to who's more willing and able to gaslight everyone.

They aren't lying. they read the reference wrong, which is understandable because it was somewhat awkwardly written.

Asynchronous communication is fraught. Everyone screws it up now and again.

In defense of all parties it really is a pretty forgettable comment that is probably easy to impregnate with your own narrative in a false memory. Both seemed to have mentally added some stuff that doesn't seem to be there, FC with the "necessary" and 13Vs with "the media wasn't reporting on that".
