Re: This is why I hate Libertarians

None of those policies would really effect me one way or the other honestly. Am a freelancer so minimum wage laws don't really apply to what I do. Anti-trust laws seem to be hardly ever enforced. Also most federal food subsidies seem to be actively harmful but might not be worth throwing the baby ou...

Re: Twitter's decline

Twitter is still losing ad revenue, down 59% over about a year. And as of a couple months ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/technology/twitter-ad-sales-musk.html Many prominent journalists and news organizations also seem to be leaving Twitter or at least scaling back. But few celebrities are.

Re: We are all Kumioko

Without actually knowing who they are on Wikipedia, and I'm certainly not advocating they out themselves, it's hard to say but I have certainly called a few editors a creep. A couple I have referred to as a creep are Drmies, Beyond My Ken and Fae but there may be others I don't remember. As was men...

Re: We are all Kumioko

Dunno if he'd (kumioko) wanna be me. Never met him but he once called me a creep without barely knowing anything about me or my Wikipedia account. I am or was probably a creep, in the henry-flynt sense of the term, but seems he meant it as insult. Link? Was this on Wikipedia or a forum? some other ...

Re: Crap or questionable articles

[[transmaxxing]] was deleted. Surprised it even lasted a week. They included 4 citations, none of which pass Wikipedia standards http://web.archive.org/web/20230624081638/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmaxxing specifically, a blog, a subreddit, a Medium.com-like website called 'unherd', and a Gl...

Re: Libreboot

User:Yae4 is pointing out that there probably aren't enough WP:GNG passing sources present in the article to establish any version of libreboot as notable. Taking only rules into consideration, and if no more sources are added, he/she's correct and the article should probably be deleted or merged in...

Re: Buzzfeed news is dead... stock 67c

Had a feeling Vice was going down the tubes when formerly large Vice reporters started expressing dismay at their complete loss of social status in NYC, and started tiny blog sites for example: countere\.com <----this garbage dump probably doesn't help things that Vice's founder is accused of starti...

Re: Minor-attracted person AfD
