  • Rule #4: Don’t submit low-quality posts.

    Also, this user is a bot. Look at the post history. No normal user posts 40 entries in a 24 hour period. And no, I don’t mean they post a bunch of posts in one period, and bunch the rest in another period. I mean they are consistently posting 2-3 entries an hour without sleep, without a break.

    EDIT: Holy shit… 1.69K posts in two months.

    Yep, there it is. There’s the hook. This bot moderates exactly one forum as the only moderator, to sell a bunch of PC parts. There’s the scam. This is just like those YouTuber bots that link to a personal profile for a porn website.








  • I taste no appreciable difference between the brands,

    Either you don’t have any taste buds, or you don’t order pizza that often. A statement like this is like saying “I taste no appreciable difference between Coke and Pepsi”.

    • Papa Johns’ has an almost-sugary pizza sauce that I don’t like that much. I also prefer pan pizza, but their default is that floppy NY pizza style. I consider them one of my least favorite option. Fucking Yum can’t manage any of their brands.
    • Domino’s used to suck about 15-20 years ago, but they have improved in every way now. Typically my go-to delivery, for a major chain brand.
    • Pizza Hut is still pretty good for pan pizza, but some think is greaser than others. They tend to use a lot of cheese, which is fine by me.
    • Little Caesars, absolute fucking garbage. I’d rather heat up a cheap pizza at home.
    • Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis
    • Jet’s Pizza, really really good pan pizza, a bit more expensive, but better than old standards like Domino’s or Pizza Hut.
    • Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Blaze Pizza, all S-tier pizza restaurants, though they don’t deliver. Making your own pizza with Blaze just makes it the top pick out of all of these.




  • We can’t even say “blue checks only” since Musk fucked all THAT up.

    The problem is that you’re looking for an easy system when none exists. You filter down to simple, easily by-passable rules, instead of curating your own system, and as a result, you’ve limited your community to news sources that new generations (and many older gens like myself) no longer pay attention to. It’s like polls that rely on cold calls, when only the boomers bother to actually answer the phone and waste their time on them.

    Hell, I don’t even want Twitter because it’s just a bunch a two-sentence short-form nonsense from a known Nazi lover that has already forced any good elements of their community to Bluesky and Mastodon. But, outlawing video out of politics, when a major chunk of the population is getting their politics from video, is fucking wild!
