It's because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the 'overly emotional and illogical' stamp onto "bleeding heart liberals".

Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.

I hate spiders, know thine enemy I guess.

Top one is an Australian huntsmen. Bottom one looks like an orb weaver of some kind.

Under the game settings->beta you can select your branch, if the developer allows that. Or under game settings -> updates you can usually disable them

That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don't blame anyone for forgetting.

I hope to God I don't ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.

He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which... Was him.

Two spider pictures in the article, but neither depict a Fen Raft Spider. Shameful excuse for journalism.

Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!

To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.

It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.

It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump's ridiculous persona. He's so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.

You know that famous Texas saying: "Don't tread on me, unless you're a christofacist, then HARDER."

It won't actually work. So yes, this is just a grift until funding dries up.

I carried both the paraframe and mini paraframe for years while I was in scouts about 15 years ago. The steel was disappointing, needing to be sharpened frequently and sharpening wore down the knife quickly.

I use Kershaw these days, and highly recommend them for budget blades.

Oh to be clear, it's all humor. At least mostly, I'm sure there are RMS level fanatics somewhere that truly believe some of the BS.

This is something as old as time. I've seen it prolifically on Reddit (though not in the Emacs community, they generally discourage memes), various Linux forums, old Usenet, various programming forums... I'm not trying to be evasive, but it's hard to provide examples that aren't specifically cherry picked, which wouldn't benefit the conversation much.

There's even a Wikipedia page dedicated to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war
