10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

I wish I could be shocked and horrified but this just seems like par for the course at this point
I thought this was common knowledge.
I'm honestly astonished that it was less than half.
9 had strong ties, but 4 had moderate or loose ties, so it's more like 65%.
Your cynicism is useless and even irritating. The purpose of commenting is contributing to the subject.
Yes, and I thought the fact that the food pyramid was bullshit made up by the corn lobby was common knowledge.
Your pedantism is useless and even irritating. The purpose of commenting is contributing to the subject.
Pointing out the one purpose of commenting is pedantism? Ok contrarian. And why are you regurgitating my comment? If you had made the effort to read it, your comment wouldn't have been made, ironically.
You need to get the stick out of your ass buddy. Not every comment needs to "add something to the conversation". People make comments as jokes, like me copying your comment, but you clearly don't understand jokes.
You're the one who needs to get the stick out of his ass, imagine if 380 upvoters were self centered enough to comment their "funny" jokes, comment section would be unusable. Original comment wasn't even a joke, just cynicism. Stop being a self centered twat and follow basic etiquette, you're not that funny
Damn, I see it's lodged way up there, you may want to see a doctor about that!
Apparently you've never been on Reddit either.
Nice retort, no arguments, no wonder you defend shitty comments you aren't capable of anything better. Also reddit being bad is an excuse for you to do the same here? Can you like type 1 smart thing for once?
Nope!
stay out of my inbox then, pretend to be the funny clown elsewhere
Nope!
Holy shit after going through your comment history I can see you’re busy fighting the good fight. Good luck fighting cynicism and technology/windows hate, I couldn’t take it anymore and just blocked like all the tech forums here, the people are insufferable to anything against their echos.
Wym windows is one time payment, stable, easy to use and no devs target linux, hannah montana OS maintained by Derek is free and open source.
I'm not a server nor an appliance so idk what's your point here
But I am. brb, distro-hopping to hannah montana linux now
Differences aside this was actually hilarious
Bro I use both windows and Linux I’m just not a fanboi of either so I’m sorry I don’t fit within your world of extremes.
I run windows with straight defender built in and I’ve never gotten a virus. Hell, last time I got a virus on windows I was like 17 and downloading pirated games. Ever since I got a job and could afford to buy my games on steam I’ve been fine.
You guys blow this shit way out of proportion for just some Linux love. Which while a beautifully efficient OS, sometimes you just want to use a more polished ecosystem.
No viruses unless u install random exes and what do updates break? And how are weekly updates a negative? Do you like out of date software? Is that what linux is like? Youre scraping the bottom of the barrel for arguments. Sounds like youre the one vulnerable to viruses without weekly updates lmao
