It has infected the comments. Our patrons are fighting a good fight, but good slop is mostly indistinguishable from a worthless karma-farming comment. Mods are probably just cheating because there are people with 15-20 year old accounts, many of whom they personally know, and you can assume that the stuff they're interacting with is not slop or is at least worthy slop.

They figured it out forever, everyone! ...No. You figured out yourselves relative to technology of your day. Tech will change and the living will figure themselves out relative to their technology. You're just engaged in parroting specifics of your own experience.
