Idk exactly how it works, but my comments are black because someone else who is black either replied or recommended. Then I have the power (aha!) to un-grey comments but only within this particular thread. I think. Unless you were just being philosophical. Then I look dumb.

Here you go - not sure if it helps: http://jezebel.com/created-a-burn…

Someone posted on an SNS last week (maybe Saturday?) about hoarding. I'll see if I can track down the post.

Seriously - that sounds terrifying. My only tactic is bitchy resting face, and that doesn't work most of the time. I can't even pick out the most ridiculous attempt - maybe a guy who, at a Halloween party on campus, thought that the best way to get my attention was to pull my hair and try and bite off my gloves.

Haha I always saw it the other way. Gray is timid and meek. Grey knows what it wants, and is going to stand up for itself. I will never stoop to gray!

Yep - it sure is nice to be visited down here in grey-land!

This sounds like a challenge. I eat all chocolate. Even the gross cheap ones.

You are messing with my mind!

My fans aren't racist either

I had to think real hard about who this mysterious 'Colin' person is.

Agree completely - especially your last point.

You guys are saints for putting up with the abuse that open comments tends to attract - I have nothing but respect for writers and mods in that regard.

Have a star in solidarity.

I can't even see this gif but I hit the star cause I knew it would be good.

I'm Australian, so it is always grey for me.

Right? Pretty sure he wasn't responsible for any quality posting, either. Meanwhile, I see tons of intelligent/funny people down in the dust bowl known as the greys (grays, sorry).

I don't think this system improves the comments. I know it was modified to combat the gif trolls, but it's now like you're just hearing the same voices over and over - and a lot of them are really banal. I like commenting on SNS because people actively seek out the greys, but on other posts, it's mostly like shouting…

First day back at work and nothing is happening, so here I am. Who has ridiculous/fantastic stories of working over the holidays?

This makes me want to vomit, I lost so many hours of my life studying these graphs.

That was so beautiful and heartbreaking. I hope you find some peace in 2015.
