Correction made!
Mod note on 'Strategies for a stressful conversation with my mom'
One comment removed for not answering the question. This isn't so a question about Korean cuisine.
Mod note on 'Playing a computer game onstage in the Sydney Opera House'
alexjesus: "This also makes me think about how meaning gets constructed now. Itโs not delivered top-down; itโs decoded, negotiated, played with. Thatโs why this reminded me of kuakua.app"

Mod note on 'https://update.web-safe.link /campaign_ 8OBLRP_document.php'
Extra spaces added in the title to prevent the post from breaking the mobile page on some devices.
Mod note on 'How do I 33F escape my parents?'
Hi folks, just a mod note to recommend that people be gentler with those in abusive situations. We know the intention is good, but to those within the situation, the forceful, authoritative tone can feel like a further erosion of their agency and cause the person to shut down or ignore the suggestions, even if they are helpful. Please try to moderate your tone for the person who really needs the help.

MetaFilter post Pulp's My Sex ... by the numbers deleted. Please feel free to repost this in the appropriate subsite.

Mod note on 'I changed my phone number and my dad showed up at my work?'

Mod note on 'How visible is the policy on LLM-generated content?'
did anyone reach out to the poster to ask them if they had used generative AI to create the question and ask them to repost, as a courtesy?
Yup, I sent them an email explaining the decision more in detail and pointing out to the relevant guidelines.

Ask MetaFilter post can this table be saved with minimal effort and no skill deleted. OP's request
Mod note on 'Armed masked men in the neighbourhood. What could possibly go wrong'
Do not call for the death of Trump or anyone, it violates the Content Policy and is generally in poor taste. Comment removed.

Mod note on 'Frivolous filter: Maduro's hat'
Hey, if your comment starts with "Wow, I know this is off-topic here.." please consider not posting the comment. Ask MetaFilter has stricter guidelines for comments and they need to answer the question.
Comment removed.
Comment removed.
Mod note on 'Ladies and Gentlemen - The Peace President'
Just dropping in a mod note about treating other members with respect or at least less sarcasm tends to help difficult conversations go better.
Disagreement is fine, of course, but try to avoid making a thread about one particular person.
No comments have been removed.
Mod note on 'High School Men's Rhythmic Gymnastic Team from Japan'
The comment noting the sensual pleasure of watching underage males doing gymnastics has been removed (along with a response) and the member will be contacted directly about the comment.
Folks, please be mindful of comments you're making about children, as they give off an impression you don't intend.
Mod note on 'What is this foot and leg thing?'
Above comment edited to correct a typo that was flagged.
Deleted mefi post 'Do Androids Dream of Epstein Island?'
MetaFilter post Do Androids Dream of Epstein Island? deleted. The post is on a controversial topic, but it's not exactly clear what the topic is, most of the links are too gated articles, and the inside portion has an editorial slant that geared towards making people angry, hence the deletion of this specific post.
Another post about the subject would be fine, but please post ungated links, consider a trigger warning, and avoid defining the post in the comments.
Mod note on '"... not epistemic agents but stochastic pattern-completion systems."'
Deminime: "Let's keep in mind that the authors of the paper are people whom Metafilter agrees should be put to death because they're working on AI."
This odd comment that has little to do with the link and is more of jab at the MeFi community has been removed, along with a response, for being a derail. It has been reproduced here for the public record.
Mod note on 'Whistleblower exposes food delivery apps'
Flagged comment that was a duplicate has been removed
Mod note on 'Jason Williamsom of Sleaford Mods "The mornings are my afterlifeโ'
Corrected Sleafod to Sleaford in title, passed on a flag, carry on!
Mod note on 'A B C D E F G H'
Just remember if the thread closes and y'all want to continue, contact the mods who can reopen it so it stays open.
This can only happen in MetaTalk, fyi
