Have you considered maybe your "participation" is just insufferable even if it weren't blatantly bad faith?

I say! Someone managed to outcringe fedoras! Jolly well done, that chap.

The advice is wank, from people who don't know jack about this. And yes, I know - I don't, either. That is why I don't try to answer questions on hugely complicated fields I don't know. Almost nobody even considered posting a source for anything and that is a huge red flag in a question that is basically about science.

Given that the advice is off-topic, wrong, potentially risky or some combination, I am not wrong about the general sentiment. If you wanted me to phrase it some other way, maybe you could've been more, uh, constructive.

After all, commenting “this is the pure dietary sugar of discussions” and then walking away is the pure dietary sugar of discussions.

Holy crap, don't get your dietary advice from this place apparently.

Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you're discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that's a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it's subjective. If it's an opinion on something objective, then there's an actual burden of "proof" and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.

There aren't many reasons to "properly" respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong ("interpretation" only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I'm skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.

Yes... grown up...

As they say, you're not a train or plane, you don't need to announce your departure. I do completely get your complaint about the negativity here, though, it's... a lot. Wanting some distance from that because it's a bummer is perfectly reasonable.

Best of luck in the future.

I think the term "PDA" dates back to about then.

... OK, but seriously, what the fuck is it? Marketingspeke is cool (apparently), I get it, but what does it literally do?

Cyclops are Finnish??

I've been mildly curious about RDR2. It's been on sale a couple times, but I still feel... icky about the idea of giving Take2 any money.

"Finally"? Barf.

Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.

Small set of whetstones so I can keep my kitchen knives absurdly sharp. Sharp vs "meh" vs dull knives make a huge difference in speed, comfort and safety. I've scuffed my knives a bit getting into things, but at least they're sharp as hell and touching them up only takes a few minutes.

Also it's hardly unconventional, but a quick read thermometer (fold-out type) is almost a must.

This is on .ml, so I'm sure we'll see some of it shortly. Or this post disappears out of a window.

Let me answer that with a book title: Life, the Universe, and Everything.

The potential existence of sentient life out there? Sure. Space is big.

Anything that's ever interacted with us or is likely in a position to ever be able to do so? No. Space is big.

Getting banned from .ml is ... pretty much expected sooner or later, unless you're a tankie.

Don't forget the terrible crime of russophobia, which is when you point out the shitty things Russia does. Only "Amerikkka" bad.

It emphatically does not mean that. Tankies tend to shill for Russia and China (CCP), neither of which is communist or socialist. I don't even mean that in a "no true scotsman" way, they are literally market economies with astronomical wealth inequality.
