Re: Reddit promotes HEROIN!
https://files.catbox.moe/5vlss7.PNG It's always been a part of Reddit's culture to push buttons, and talking nice about hard drugs is part of that. This the same site that had a subreddit called "Pics of Dead Kids", started and run by Michael Brutsch (u/Violentacrez) whom Gawker outed in 2012 . Say...

Re: Thoughts on Reddit?
We will see if Gab and all these other hard-core Trumpist websites will survive. Seeing as how MAGA is co-morbid with anti-Black, antisemitic, homophobic, xenophobic worldviews I'm guessing not too long. Why do you judge a huge group of people based on their dwelling type? In my experience and IMO ...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Maybe paid, but certainly COI: Andrewsmclain is probably writing for Eugene Jarecki who pays for a billboard in New York City that accuses the President of murder.

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.
Anyone wanna take a stab at why this article disappeared? The hoax (which was a complicated one and many journalists fell for it) dates from 2009, the only two captures were taken in 2016. There is NO RFA and no speedy request and no explanation. Or anything. But it's STILL the top result if you go...

Re: 2010 AskReddit thread asking for Wikipedia donations
r/AskReddit • u/[deleted] • 9y I know we're all making fun of Jimmy Wales' creepy stare on Wikipedia. But seriously... have you donated? Wikipedia is fucking fantastic. Go donate a few bucks if you haven't already. Most of us use it several times a day, and I think it's reasonable that they ask for...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.
I don't think he deserves a BLP but because the mob hates him, he is likely to get one. Wikipedia tends to side with the left on these things, iirc. nuff said. But I'm willing to bet that if it does happen, McCloskey will sue the WMF. And then said article will "magically disappear". Sort of like t...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.
A beautiful home. I can see why the McCloskeys wanted to protect it, but i would suggest to them that they abandon it and flee. The Anonymous mob never forgives, never forgets, and is to be expected. Just curious, do you think Mark McCloskey should have a BLP at this point? I'm starting to wonder i...
