I'm annoyed that members are insulting one another with words like "stupid, ignorant, Nazi", or making condescending posts to criticise other members' spelling, punctuation, or grammar. This is a support site, not one for belittling members with sweeping, overgeneralised presumptions about their character, their education, their political affiliation, or their support for genocide, murder, and hate crime.

Last I checked none of us condoned violence or racism, and we were free to disagree with others without gaslighting them ... or promoting ourselves as superior.

Regarding the Incorrect Use of 'Decimate' (Merriam-Webster)
This is one of the few times (perhaps the only time) that I disagree with the editorial staff of Merriam-Webster.  Decimate means to kill every tenth soldier and, by simple extension, to destroy only one-tenth of an item, location, or system.  Replacing "Devastate" with "Decimate" shows a distinct lack of knowledge or concern regarding the historical differences between these two words, so when a journalist misuses "Decimate", it is an accurate indication that he or she lacks journalistic depth and understanding, and will likely misuse other words and phrases, as well (i.e., "hone in" instead of "home in", et cetera).

sounds like windows 10 to me. :| a rule of thumb is that if the thing is running longer than 12 hours of steady work, you're running on fumes in terms of the exhaustion of system resources.

Someone on twitter (pretty sure a teenager) deliberately twisted what I said to make me look racist or for a joke.

Being ignored because I’m in the minority.

Same old things.

What I mean same old things, I meant few things I've been always annoyed about since as early as 5 and as late as 15.
Couldn't seem to move out of it despite being more than a decade of dealing with it.

And the whole point of the post itself -- I'm annoyed of not able to just end these old, personal, yet petty crap.

if it is older than a few years, chances are the requirements of the web and current software exceed its design parameters.

People casually referring to my loved ones as a 'rat infestation' and then acting like I'm looking to be offended when I call them a racist as*hole for their assholish racism. I'm enough bigger than Dustin that when I decide to toss him head first in the tire pit he won't be able to prevent it and it'll be over before anyone can intervene. If he survives the fall the equipment will mangle him, but that if isn't certain.
