This is deeply irresponsible. We are already living in a time where constant fighting, outrage, and division dominate public life, and instead of pushing back against that, this kind of content normalizes and encourages it. Treating conflict like a joke or a personality trait doesnât make you clever or detachedâit just adds more fuel to an already out-of-control fire.
People are exhausted. Communities are fractured. Real conversations are drowned out by knee-jerk hostility and performative arguments, and pretending that getting into fights with strangers online is harmless fun ignores the very real impact this behavior has on how we treat each other. Not everything needs to be a battleground, and not every disagreement needs to turn into a spectacle.
If we want things to improve even slightly, it starts with rejecting this mindsetânot celebrating it. Encouraging chaos, even âironically,â is still encouraging chaos. We donât need more provocation; we need more responsibility, restraint, and basic respect.

And this is why ultra short throw projectors have such weird lenses and mirrors â what they're projecting is nothing like a rectangle.

Heck yeah! I pissed off some prolific mod and just found out I'm banned from like a dozen communities I have, and now will, never interact with.
But I'll still call out the lazy and animal abuse deniers in the more political communities.
You didn't vote but could? You don't get to say shit.
Someone you agree with shocks their dog for getting off a bed, and you defend it? You get heat.
Just like Noam & Steve picture on the front, never worship a hero.
Edit to add: fuck tankies, and I feel sympathy for confused ancaps
