Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.

They did the survey repeatedly over 11 years and the line spores the average across all years.
- Comment on Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised? 5 days ago:
About half of the right are people who hold certain beliefs and can talk about them. These people can recognize when they are wrong and make changes, though many of them will double down and vote their party no matter what. The other half is full of people who make the politics part of their identity, see it as a zero-sum game, and want to actively harm people they disagree with. The people who are surprised are on the first group.

OK. So things would stay just as they are, no changes. Sounds like a fine compromise when getting a move to the left.

I get that (now) but I stand behind my statement.
- Comment on Phishing attempt 1 week ago:
As a member of the community this is just the whole “gay is bad” routine leveraged to steal money from bad people. It propagates discrimination.

And if you weren’t so toxic, I wouldn’t have blocked you just now. Grow up.

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly. Those were exactly the personal attacks. Amazingly, I couldn’t even reference the topic without you needing to make it personal.

Look at you demonstrating my point perfectly. Amazing. Have a block, no need to interact with toxic people.

Things like:
Democrats are really like the center right in Europe.
That Arabs are semites.
That I liked the ideas of communism but don’t believe that it has succeeded yet because the average person is not ready for it.
Those things caused endless rage and personal attacks.

I opened my first account on .ml. I knew nothing about it and it was not until much later that I knew what ML meant. I joined only because it was the devs’ server and I figured that I could be on the cutting edge. Then began several weeks of angry attacks on random comments until I figured out what was going on and came over to .world.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 1 week ago:
An example: “Democrats are considered leftist in the US but are really center-right in Europe”. This inflamed the passions of the .ml-ites. You can buy it or not buy it but it won’t have any bearing on reality.
- Comment on A kid in my semi hometown in arkansas said he was going to shoot up a wal-mart if we went on a hanta lockdown. He was arrested and everything. Can you really be charged fed for typing? 2 weeks ago:
I suspect that the mere utterance is enough for it to be a threat, even if a rational person would know it was not serious.

You live in a zero-tolerance world where that sort of scenario lead to the deaths of many people. It is a terroristic threat and people will take it seriously.

lol you went in to attack and vent from the start. if you do this often, then you will experience backlash

And it’s so strange to watch people getting personal. If you don’t agree wholeheartedly with what they are saying, they will make illusions to your blood line needing elimination.

Oh I know but I am fine without having to see whatever they post.
- Comment on "The owner of my AirBnB has a dog named Kevin. His human-sounding name terrified me at first." 2 weeks ago:
Only useful if you’re going to a wedding or such with a group of people in an area without hotels.
- Comment on "The owner of my AirBnB has a dog named Kevin. His human-sounding name terrified me at first." 2 weeks ago:
I thought we’d discovered that Air BnB is generally more expensive.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. I did the same a few years back and have never regretted it. Every once in a while I will see a comment from someone in .ml and feel a bit surprised.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 weeks ago:
I got banned in a hard way from a lot of those sub and not on purpose. A simple comment here or there would set off an attack storm from people who sort all comments by new and look for it.
These people are no different than the militant PETA types.
- Comment on You take your dog into an elevator and they look at you funny. "Why did we get in this little room for a minute and walk back out?" 2 weeks ago:
Even my cat understands the concept. I don’t think they understand why you do it, though, just that everything suddenly changes.

Agreed

Believe it or not, MSFT made one of those back in the 90s. Terrible keys, but it may be what you wanted.

The author is obviously not a fan of valve. The bias comes through in their word choice

I hear a biologist once say that if the octopus could live to be 80 like humans, they would be in charge of the planet instead of humans.

I don’t think precedent applies here.
