When I was 14 I had to ban ex-Megadeth guitarist Jeff Young from my forum because he wouldn't stop calling everyone a "douche canoe" and destroying the vibes.
You can tell who did and who did not moderate IRC/phpBB/whatever back in the day, because all of us who did learned the true shape of online group culture: your culture is the shittiest person you don't ban

If your website truncates longer articles with a "story continues" link, I hate you. Show the whole article, you fucking coward.

The neat thing about working on an app with so many users is being able to measure millenia of users' time saved from performance improvements last year.

Yesterday I got blocked in a freeway exit because a driverless Waymo stopped in the middle of a busy 5 way intersection, blocking some lanes. Who do I honk at? Fuck these things.

I’m playing Persona 5 Royal for the first time and loving every minute of it. Except it makes me anxious that all of their secret communications are over text/chat app.

It will always baffle me how we as a society have just let scammers ruin so many parts of our daily lives. We cannot take phone calls anymore, emails and texts are flooded with scams, and social media directs you to scam sites for everything from forever stamps to kids toys.
I FOIA'd the FTC for consumer complaints about Little Tikes and there are a huge number of fake toy websites advertising on Facebook and Google that will take your money and won't send anything.

I'm playing Fallout 4 on survival mode for the first time, and this experience has upgraded the game to my favorite of the Fallout series. It's an incredibly immersive way to play.

It costs like $20 to get one that you can install between the toilet and the seat. The only downside is the disappointment when you have to poop anywhere else.
apropos of nothing it's wild to me that any time i extoll the virtues of owning a bidet, invariably there's at least one person who is very insistent that they WANT to have a dirty ass like a peasant from a medieval ages and is appalled that i would even SUGGEST they wash themselves better. grow up!
