As is nearly always the case with these types of conspiracy theories, never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. More charitably, you can explain most of these actions (maybe…

I'm not going to go back and forth with a "yes, it is" "no, it isn't" exchange with you, but "not allowed to exist" is VERY clearly different from "not allowed to be visible" -- the thing that you specifically wrote to…
Unless you have better evidence than Keith Olbermann to back your statement, I think we're done here. I'm not going to go back and forth about Twitter followers as a valid metric for gauging public opinion on genocide...
"not allowed to exist at all" doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. Nothing you have said bears any more discussion.
googling for 'man date' to read the manual page on date always gives me a second thought.

This joke never adds anything to the conversation, I wish people would stop making it.
But I don't think you would disagree the following is worthwhile: "There is a hurricane, and we're hearing initial, unconfirmed reports that it's to the south. We want to stress these are unconfirmed at this time, etc…

Have you been on Twitter in the last three years? Have you heard of 4Chan? That statement is disturbingly incorrect.

Absolutely, and if your business is repeating the same mistakes in Chrome as we saw 10-20 years ago from IE....

Reducing cognitive load by breaking things into digestible pieces can be hard, and at times it's hard to say if option A is better than option B, but it is not preference. If `extractId` is an eight-step process that's…
Sure, but, like porn and art, we can tell the difference between Info Wars and The Onion. A simple landing page on The Onion or Babylon Bee is all Snopes needs to do, whereas it's clear Info Wars has an agenda of…
