If art is subjective, why did schools enforce the idea that there's "right" and "wrong" ways to interpret literature?
I'm not talking about objective things like grammar, vocabulary, or structuring. I'm mostly talking about more subjective things like theme and mood. I get for younger students, since they need to learn to analyze and interpret literature. But for higher level students this might become more or a problem, especially when reading old poems and scripts. Why do schools make it seem like there's only 1 right way to view a story?

I do think about sandwiches all day, so your right on that part.
How interesting. I'm thinking of getting into sandwich making myself and those looks delicious. If you don't mind, can you tell what kind of sandwiches you make?
Do you actually put olives on top of your sandwiches?
When you look at a cartoon illustration of a sandwich, you will usually an olive or other similar topping on top of the sandwich. Have you actually put olives on top of your sandwiches? If so, why?
I mean I think anyone could do this, so it really isn't that unique.
It's inevitable really. Once the site grows, the number of people who think their funny will too. The best thing your can do is dislike it and ignore.
I've somehow managed to brick my own magazine.
So I was messing with the CSS for my own magazine, and I've somehow managed to bricked it. When you try to go to /m/internet\_funeral, you'll see nothing. I've tried to change it back, but I can't access anything.
IDK when this will be fixed (or even if it's reversible), but I just wanna warm anyone who changed the CSS of your magazine, as you can brick your magazine if you mess it too much. Hopefully @ernest can quickly fix this, since this is a pretty dangerous bug.
I'll gladly be the sacrificial lamb for everyone else.
EDIT: Thank you @llama for the fix.
> > > Try opening the inspection panel in your browser and disabling CSS, you should be able to do this in both chrome and Firefox. This should be able to at least get you back to the page where you can edit the css and fix it. > >
I'm still gonna keep this post up in case someone else has this problem.
@ernest Hello. After your done with this process, have you considered making a magazine called /m/kbinRequests where people can apply to takeover abandoned magazines? Thank you for your work.
This brings me back to the old school forums. Thank you for this.
Why is bass sometimes the loudest?
So you know when it's quiet and your neighbor is playing loud music, but you can only hear the bass? Why is it like that?
With Reddit becoming public, why are the founders creating so much drama around the site? Wouldn't that make their IPO worse?
I'm not into investing, so sorry if this doesn't make sense.
With all the drama and news surrounding Reddit recently, why is Reddit making such bad decisions when they are about to go public? With all of their negative decisions they've been making recently, wouldn't all the bad press make their IPO worse? Are they trying to maximaze their profits to make their company seem better to investors when they go public?
I get wanting to donate to the server. I personally find them annoying and think it encourages people to troll to bait awards.
Awards. I just think they're unnecessary for an internet forum.
Where did the logo for kbin come from?
I'm trying to find where the logo for kbin came from, but I found nothing. Did @ernest make it himself? Was it commissioned? I'm curious.
Also does anyone have a high res version of the logo? I couldn't find any high res version of the logo.
Make magazine icons 600x600 instead of 600x500
Minor complaint, but I think that magazine icons should be in a square format like 600x600 instead of the current maximum size of 600x500. By having the icons in a square, it would make the magazine icons look natural instead of the squashed images we see currently.
EDIT: I just noticed that this also applies to image previews too.
How would this solve anything? This would most likely get people to spam account creations for mod then trash the magazines. Just having a magazine dedicated to requesting mod access to magazines would be a better system.
It is impossible to be unbiased?
I don't know if this is a well known theory or not, but the basis is that it's impossible for someone to be unbiased, even if they say they aren't. People are subconsciously biased to a degree, so it's impossible to be truly unbiased.
I doubt this has any substance, but I thought it was an interesting thought experiment.
thank you my friend
@DmMacniel thanks
The comment sorting might be bugged right now, since "hot" and "newest" does the same thing. "Active" just sorts comment by reply count (sometimes?). Also there isn't a way to sort by top for right now. The team will probably add it later when they have other important stuff sorted out first.
Please use /m/kbinmeta to ask question about kbin.
This magazine is not the place to ask question about kbin. Use /m/kbinmeta instead.
Thank you for the updates! It's quite refreshing to see some transparency from the owners (especially in recent years).
