If a "truth era" did exist, it was definitely before the current era of "math and acronyms are racist" and "men can get pregnant".

This couldn't be further from the truth. Reddit is orders of magnitude more heavily moderated than HN. Your average run of the mill subreddit has more moderators than the entirety of HN.
>Which is a good thing, it's why conversations here tend to be of a higher quality.
I think the conversations here are higher because of the userbase, not dang's moderation. The site doesn't lend itself to the toxic userbase that reddit and tumblr has.
>I don't think the HN style of moderation would scale to places like Reddit even if they wanted it.
There are subreddits with more scale than HN, with more moderation. Scale is definitely not an issue.
That rule makes no sense in the context of a social media site.
We know. Facts don't care about your feelings. Cope.
>You're living rent free in my head!!!!!
Soydev max cope.
That's not a fact, it's a delusion you just invented.
>that a pro-gun target shooter wouldn't seek real therapy
Shooting is real therapy. It's therapeutic.
>is sad since they're a danger to themselves :(
Everyone is a danger to themselves.
>Imagine all the therapy they could have gotten with the money they wasted on guns!
Expendable income and health insurance are two completely different buckets of money.
Three times in a row you've played yourself. You're batting like the Washington Nationals.
"I personally think therapy (shooting targets) is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health (greatest threat all Americans face)!"
Imagine posting exactly what a pro-gun target shooter would post and think it's snark. Congrats, you just played yourself again. Thanks for agreeing.
(This post is hilarious since gun owners frequently call shooting "therapy". Many gun owners would unironically say/type this exact same comment. Congrats, you played yourself.)
This is a selfawarewolves-tier post.
Tech teams are littered with chronically online SJWs. When something as innocuous as an email about Domain Driven Design [0] can quickly go off the rails and be derided as misogynistic, it's tough to communicate. Executives are not used to dealing with groups that have such thin skin. You constantly have to walk on eggshells around tech teams, and even then something/anything may still trigger them.
Yes, MilSpec [0].
>Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with?
No, wrong. You're thinking of "military grade", which is effectively meaningless as a term.
>There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff
This is what I was alluding to. It's thicker and denser.
>EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning.
This is where you're wrong. Milspec has a specific meaning [0]. The milspec in question is Military Spec # A-A-58092 [1].

How the US military, nuclear power plants, and plumbers worth their weight in salt do fittings: 3-4 times around the (male) fitting with PTFE tape, then a light amount of pipe dope on top of the PTFE tape.
Also, DO NOT buy the cheap PTFE tape as suggest. Buy the milspec tape. Your big box store will have both and you'll know where that money (a couple dollars at most) went.
"Latrine", " Latin@", and "Latinx" are almost entirely unheard of in actual Latin American countries, though.
The Association of Academies of the Spanish Language is the governing body that defines what official Spanish is. If you can find a single academy that lists "Latinx" or "Latin@" as official Spanish, I'll eat my hat.
These neologisms are nothing more than US leftist linguistic imperialism.
In what way are they slow?
If there's anything to be learned from the KiwiFarms saga, it's that these statements are no longer true.
Again, we can both play these games. You original presumption:
>My observation is that the modern right wing social media user only thrives when there are 'liberal snowflakes' around that they can piss off.
Remember, one of the major reasons behind Truth Social, Parler, etc. failing to gain user share is the fact that their respective apps were banned from Google/Apple stores.
At the end if the day, both extremes, left and right, need an enemy to point at and rally over. They are different sides of the same coin.
