No, creating self-moderated threads is not censorship but it can become a tool to censor someone else. In OP's example, if another person says something negative thing about waffles and the OP deletes it, then that's also censorship in my view.

I would not be thinking that far for ethereum yet. I want to see ethereum 2.0 first and how the community will react to it. competitors only in words. Ethereum has a very strong team and other projects (at the moment) can not bypass Ethereum in terms of marketing and development, as funding will not be enough.
Do not be so sure about that. Have you actually studied the other blockchains competing with eth? Or did you just look at their respective prices?

The default emojis are enough. There is no need to use more. Those emojis in the OP are more useful in social media and not in a forum like btt. Bores attacked the topic Since when is expressing an opposing opinion an attack? This is a forum mate, don't expect everyone to agree with your opinion or proposal. You can lock this topic if you do not want to see more "attacks".

This is hilarious! I really wanted to give you a merit just for this post but I thought maybe it is better if your merit count remains 555 for another day. Enjoy it

Don't do that. Fans wont cheer for him at his best if he aint unique. He can explode for so many times just like how superstars do it and also have his off nights which superstars also have. Still it doesnt make sense for me. I will look deeper to what analysts would say about this.
He ain't unique mate. The last time I saw fans really cheering for him was during his Linsanity stint with the Knicks. He had a little break when Melo got injured and he took advantage of it which is good for him. After that, he wasn't able to elevate or adjust his game. NBA is a tough league where players fight for position, it's either you shape up or ship out. If your current form doesn't impress the coaches, then you're on your way out. Which do you think is more gifted overall? The Greek Freak - Giannis or Zion
When you compare them now, It's the Greek Freak. When you compare them when the freak entered the league, I'd say they're pretty much equal.

Neymar?
Juventus acting like Real Madrid now. I hope this transfer won't happen. I don't think Ronaldo-Neymar would work. Ronaldo nominated for Ballon d'Or, how do you feel that?
I'm all good with his nomination. He is still an elite player and also instrumental in Juve's win last season.

I still expect the Beermen to reach the finals (3-1) and TNT (3-2).
Oh well TNT finished off the GSM already and now waiting for the winner of SMB vs ROS series. I was expecting the TNT vs. GSM series to go to game 5 but it's all good since I didn't put a bet for game 4. I would have lost for picking GSM

If Wilder won rounds 9 and 12 by KO, why do you think Fury won rest of the rounds?
It was hard to see Wilder swinging and just punching the air. Fury was more precise during their first fight. I am not a judge but if it were up to me, Fury won 8 rounds at the very least. Knocked down was the more appropriate term, not KO.

He should be based on his win streak. It's unfortunate that he is an organization that doesn't really have a standard on who gets the next title fight. If he can finish or win impressively, that will increase his chances. If only Woodley was still the champ, he could have his title shot already.

Hindi ba medyo kumplikado itong LN para sa isang tao na wala masyading alam sa technical side ng crypto kagaya na lamang ng opening at closing ng payment channel? Nagkaroon na ng segwit-enabled btc address, magkakaroon din kaya ng LN-enabled kung saan mas simple ang proseso?

Worse, you love playing the game but no one is trying to give you minutes again to showcase your skills.
Just dont know why an explosive guy like Jeremy Lin will be benched like that. He can do "no look" pass and shoot with a high percentage. Can also penetrate the paint. Just what the hell is the reason behind the sudden dip of this guy.
He is just 30 and they say his being "Linsanity" is over. Urgh!
Maybe you are not seeing what the coaches are seeing. Maybe he can shoot and make those fancy passes but there are so many aspects of the game that he may be lacking from the coaches point of view. It's also not like he's a unique or once in a lifetime player.

Tyson = Left hand; Fury = Right hand I would also go for Fury on the rematch. Wilder was the happier of the two when it was announced as draw. The guys is so skilled and fast for his size. He'll fight smarter during the rematch. It could happen early next year. Come on now how can Fury be robbed, as he was knocked down twice (round 9 and 12). Plus, according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuD_G_WE4Sg it took more than 10 second for Fury to recover. Judge "saved" him. If this was not last round, judge would count till 10 and stop the fight (just my opition, but I'm not a boxing pro). By judge, you mean referee? Fury was robbed. Rounds 9 and 12 were the only rounds that Wilder clearly won. The rest of the fight, Wilder was punching the air most of the time.

I would prefer that the government still hold lotteries. It is still better than letting some private corporation control the prices of the tickets and where proceeds should go. The government are getting funds from poor people to help the poor people, that doesn't makes sense IMO.
It's not like people are being duped by the government to give their money though. They aren't forced to join.

As far as the recent free agency status is a concern, looks like no teams shown interest on some of the notable names left on the free agency like Carmelo Anthony, Shaun Livingston, Jeremy Lin, JR Smith, Lance Stephenson, etc.
Shaun Livingston has to be signed somewhere, even for a minimum contract. The guy can still play and knows how to really share the ball. I've also seen that Lin video, he should have elevated his game after his Linsanity stint. I understand that he still wants to play and prove something but there are just better guys out there.
