- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Find a celebrity [youtube.com], businessman [youtube.com] or politician [youtube.com] who takes themselves too seriously and give them a pie to the face.

If we're talking pie, which can be read pi*e, that's approximately 8.5397342226735670654635508695466. Let's make that August 5.

Sorry but the joke doesn't work in 14/3.

And, it is stale by 15/3. What is it with these polls on an event some two days in the future? Seems moot.

That's okay. You can just celebrate approximately Pi day on 22/7.

the 22nd July. 22/7 is a better approximation to pi than 3.14
And, while looking at rational approximants to pi, 355/113 is very good - it's decimal expansion starts 3.141592...

What calendar are you using? 355/113 places this year's Pi Day on October 21st, 2052 with the Gregorian calendar using the American MM/DD format and April 30th, 2033 with the ISO DD/MM format.

Looks like SoylentNews is continuing to censor views that it does not like. I am billbellum, and the email for my account has been changed, and my password no longer works. Must have said something critical of janrinok and the autarchic cabal that runs the site these days. Well, it is no longer worth it to try to have an honest discussion here. The discussions are by a smaller and smaller number of participants, and not the best ones at that. And the topics selected for the front page continue to fail, despite clear lack of comments.
And, anti-semitic comments are still being tolerated, if not encouraged. And we have to ask if we celebrate Pi day?

You have created another account - you can only have one account. But you already know this.....
Complaining in other threads is off-topic and unacceptable, and you have chosen to comment in the Poll simply because it gets your complaint on 'the front page'. If you have an objection then send me an email. In this account's short'ish life it has have received 7 temporary bans for unacceptable behaviour. Your karma is sitting at -18.
We know who is behind the account. You explained your username when you first created the parent account (William Bellum), complete with the Latin derivation of your adopted surname. This account was created when your previous sock puppet account was compromised by yourself and therefore banned.

To whom do you address these remarks, janrinok? Seven bans? -18 means two Spam mods, at least, to counter positive moderation. Looks like Battling Bil is fighting the loosing battle for the soul of SoylentNews! Ides of March, eh? Funny how all these things work out. I wounder who janrinok thinks he is talking to.

It doesn't matter who you are - if you are abusing the site the account will receive temporary bans. If your account receives spam moderations then it will lose karma. If you have more than one account then some of them will be closed. I have closed a sock puppet account, not a person. You still have an account.
Did you copy this response from the one you made at this time last year?

Janrinok is SoylentNews, at this point? Chromas keeps his usual low profile as a far right 3% Washington State resident from Idaho. MartyB has discovered the better part of valor. Mighty Buzzard proved to be less than able to receive downmods for racism. And khallow and Runaway are still here, at janrinok's invitation and protection. Spam mod for this is anticipated. Such as it ever was.

Once again the whiniest liar that likes pretending to be pro-freedom is censoring their journal https://soylentnews.org/~Runaway1956/journal/ [soylentnews.org]

You mean Runnyway learned from janrinok the trick of only allowing registered, verified, geo-located users to comment in his pathetic excuse for a journal? But it profits him little to exclude Pure ACs, since they have the most insightful things to say about guns, and Runsaway his own self is kind of ignorant on the topic.

As a LEO, who cannot have a registered account here for obvious reasons, I would like the opportunity to rebutt all the anti-cop propaganda that posers like Runaway post here. But, I guess this is the way it goes when a dwindling website seeks to protect itself, by allowing anti-semitic cop-haters to have free rain.
