In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers.
"A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

i mean. it is cancel culture. like that's what it is, the thing being described is in fact when you ask "but why tho" about a video game mod and then have to delete your account because 100 people threaten to kill you
My hottest take of 2026 is that what just happened to Parker is actually what terminally offline people in a some Iowa diner think they mean when they non-ironically use the term “cancel culture”.

Some days, I'm struck by how I was always the one dragged for spending too much time obsessively on computers growing up, but now I'm the one annoyed by how many people can't stop using their tech...
...and I haven't significantly changed my technology usage patterns.

Part of what makes abusers so effective at the things they do is we want— even when we've had it demonstrated again and again someone is a manipulator— to see ourselves in other people, we want to try to form a mental model of the person in front of us that matches the behavior we see. We can't stop

After reading so many online stories, I see one thing many people seem to miss in one dynamic
When a family group tries to appease the chronic asshole over the non chronic asshole who finally got sick of their shit and called it out...
it's because they want peace not justice and they're used

saw a post where someone was complaining that mamdani was giving a speech about his policies rather than actively instituting them and we desperately need to reopen the schools and get this specific person a calendar

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

i wish it were a more universally accepted that you still, on a societal level, have an obligation to other people, even if you do not personally care about them and/or helping them does not materially benefit you in any way

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
