StackOverflow had the most toxic community didn't it?

If only I had known back when I was buying a floppy of Wolfenstein 3d in the 90s that the game that lets you shoot Nazis and their German shepherds would directly lead to actual Nazi mutant cyborg war dogs.

No. Sporatic means the occasional presence of something. Intermittent means the occasional absence of something.

Drills are used sporadically. If a drill was used intermittently it would be on most of the time and occasionally off.
Who wants to hang out with illiterate, intolerant goblins? Not even their fellow goblins apparently. You ever see an American on fentanyl walking around with a hunched back? Goblin.

What we really need is an alternative to capitalism
The problems come from right libertarians. Left libertarians are great.

It's so strange to see this here. I remember when this site was nothing but foaming-at-the-mouth fawning adoration of Elizabeth Holmes long after her scams were exposed.
Re:Account bans on Reddit on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @02:56AM (#49989273)
You will get an account level shadowban if you comment that the Reddit moderator with the most kharma is Ghislaine Maxwell (yes, that one). Her main account went dark when she was arrested but she likely still controls major subreddits like /r/worldnews from prison. Everyone would know about this if Reddit didn't use bans to strictly control the flow of information. And I assume journalists won't cover the story because they're afraid they'll lose their access to Reddit.
This is a good place to remind everyone that Ghislaine Maxwell is a moderator of /r/worldnews. She stopped using her main account when she was arrested but we suspect she's still moderating from prison using other accounts. If you comment or post about this on Reddit you will get an account level shadowban.

Let us see if the pedophiles control this site too. Bookmark this and then check back later to see if it was flagged and removed.

People do drugs in abandoned buildings. In a few hundred years archaeologists will think the purpose of shopping malls was fentanyl.
I didn’t accuse anyone of anything.

Does this site not have a policy against incivility?

Your comment is rude and uncalled for.
I don’t need evidence to speculate
Your comment is rude, obnoxious, and uncalled for.

Re:GMails custom domain "send as" discontinues January 2027 on Friday September 04, 2026 @12:55PM (#49567155)
Apple is a good choice if someone doesn’t know which company to start with. A lot of Apple customers have iCloud+ but don’t realize email hosting on your own domain is included in the plan. If you’re already paying for it you might as well use it.
Even worse some data centers have been caught running on diesel generators even in places where that is illegal. People are sick of tech companies bribing their way out of any accountability.
Re:How would you know whether an ancient culture had zero? on Sunday August 30, 2026 @09:59PM (#49504788)
Zero has two roles: as a positional placeholder and as a cardinal value (nothingness or net-zero). This only addresses the former.

Maybe other space companies would be under budget and on time if they weren't run by Nazi drug addicts. I'm not typing a name but everyone reading this knows who I am a talking about.
They do not need more training. They training they already get trains them to be aggressive and abuse people. We need less of that, not more.
Re:Cop Explains Why He Used License Plate Reader to Stalk Woman on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @04:41PM (#49366944)
In the 2000s I knew a guy who was transitioning to software development after working in HR at a large American police department. He told me you couldn't become a cop unless you had a mental illness. They psychologically screen candidates to filter out people who have too much empathy. They would reject you if you said you had a close relationship with your mother, for example. They wanted people with aggressive tendencies. They loved it when someone had a superhero tattoo or had a parent die when they were a child.

People always comment that we need to do more screening before people become cops, do more training. The screening and the training are the problem.

Re:So Reddit has decided that plain HTML is unsafe on Thursday July 23, 2026 @09:22AM (#49021168)
Yes. There are questionable policies on the website where Ghislaine Maxwell is the top moderator.
