Most kBin’ers, unfortunately: “Does not conform to my position, try again.” shakes magic 8-ball furiously

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but boy has this conflict really shown the dark side of kBin. I guess that nice federation atmosphere only applies for some topics. This place is not really any better than the other alternatives. (Edit: Still better than Reddit)

Oops you fell victim to your own response. Oh, but you used alternating caps, so I guess I’m supposed to feel stupid? I don’t. You could have live footage of the jihad perpetrators, and you’d still get people saying, “isR8eL 1nvEntEd M1nD c0nTr0L derp!” Can’t help those that don’t want help, I guess.

That’s sad. I’ve always loved him in everything he’s been in (maybe not Event Horizon, but that’s me), and he seems like a very nice person. He’s Majestical!

I don't understand why every news source has to give dump so much more time than anyone else. Who cares what he said this time. It's the same thing every time. I guess it gets them more views (by what metric? Nielson?). CNN even said after dump's first win that maybe they shouldn't have given him about triple the coverage of every other candidate from both sides combined. In the interim years, CNN has still had more dump than even the current president.

This is why I do not watch news anymore. But, it matters little. Humanity, please continue our speed run to extinction.

I’ve been doing it for so many years across all devices and platforms that I actually get…confused for a second when one slips through. It is normally YouTube that slips through (they seem to be trying new things almost daily to get around any possible ad blocks), but sometimes it is from a major news web site or something. I actually have to look around for a second and then realize what has just happened.

The windmills are stealing the wind! It’s not infinite, you know! Those windmills are going to slow the planet’s spin down, and then we’re all going to fly off it! But, I’ve heard if you love Jeebers enough he’ll pull you back down to Earth by your oversized belt buckle (but not in a gay way), so maybe it’s okay.

The Russians got smart and bought Carryout Tracking on every pizza order. The drone strikes bankrupted Domino’s, not their food-adjacent menu.

I would never brush or floss before, unless I had just eaten something awful within the last hour or so. I think it is best to stick with your normal routine. You give the hygienist a better look at how good or bad your cleaning is. They can easily tell what is recent and what has stuck to the teeth and requires scaling. Furthermore, you aren't saving them any stink. The stuff that you need their help to clean out smells about 50 times worse than the things you just ate (just smell your floss compared to your breath after any meal). A quick rinse with water will get the worst out of their way, and even if you're a sloppy eater the rest will take maybe 5 minutes at worst to remove.

I browsed around it for a good 20 minutes or so. My initial knee-jerk reaction is that I would not want to join a community with no ability to create or join specific areas that could be narrowed down to more specific topics. “Gaming” for example (and as someone else already mentioned), has to be video games, of all forms (retro, console, computer, homebrew, hacks - from all years) alongside board games, card games, browser games, children’s games, educational games, physical toys, etc. It’s a mess, to me at least. There aren’t even that many categories.

It is also very sterile-feeling. I appreciate a good old-fashioned text wall, but no options for background and text colors even? (Maybe that is an option if you are able to log into the site)
