Having been in a metal band and known guys that toured, I can assure you that This is Spinal Tap is a real life depiction of being in a metal band.

DDR 4 shot up too. It was bad enough that instead of trying to put together a system with the AM4 m/b I already have, I just bought a Legion Go S.

There's a flight path directly over my house. I'm going to see if my wife would be on board for this.

Termination of Transfer is what happened to the Friday the 13th franchise. The screenwriter wound up owning the name Jason Voorhees, but not the adult visual of Jason. As I understand it, the F13 franchise owners could have made movies with adult Jason Voorhees as long as they don't call him Jason Voorhees. All in all it was a mess. I think it's all resolved now, but the situation did tank the online game that a lot of people enjoyed.

Just found out my unit was robbed. The thieves ignored the lock and just destroyed the unit's latch which the padlock secured.

There went Uncanny X-Men 94 through 300.

That's interesting. Off the cuff, I'll say it would depend on venue. Like on Reddit, you can easily have dozens of people saying exactly the same thing and other views can easily disappear in the muck. That's not even getting into the dominant view down voting all dissent. Still, everyone there can type out their thoughts in as complete a fashion as they so choose.

In person, things are different. The dominant side can and often enough does drown out dissent. In that case, the intent is to silence. So that would be "censorship" in a cultural, not legal sense which would be hostile to the freedom of speech in the cultural sense, not legal.

I didn't know this had a name! Thank you!

Fair enough on that. The problem I've seen (and don't have a good idea for how to fix) is on Reddit where the most terminally online are the worst offenders and they simply drown out everything else until non-crazy people just leave. It doesn't help that the subreddit mods are disproportionately also the terminally online.

As I understand it, Twitter has something called Community Notes. So people can write things, but it can potentially have an attached refutation.

I've been banned for over a decade from leaving reviews on Amazon. I have no idea why.

I think you are the only good moderator on the internet.

I forgot about the HP one! I distinctly remember there was a Sun too; it was like a backyard shoot.

My mind first jump to an old video of somebody shooting a Sun Microsystems machine and the bullets did not in fact penetrate the steel.

I started seeing this more than a week ago on r/ASRock. There was a BIOS update and loads and loads of people reported that their CPUs fried.
