About WhyUVoteGarbage
Why do you upvote garbage? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
— Science reduced to mysticism for morons (phys.org, quantamagazine.org, nautil.us)
— Angry rants about last week's news (Techdirt)
— Gratuitous mentions of Brave browser or Rust lang (tribalism goes brrrr)
— Misleading clickbait from decadent 20th century news establishments that threw away their best people and joined the race to the bottom (WaPo and NYT)
— Yoink-and-spin secondhand summaries of somebody else's reporting (Verge, Cyberscoop, Gizmodo, Engadget, Wired, etc.)
— Fake news (and then the follow-up that says it's fake gets flagged)
— Dupes: Reuters and AP stories on Yahoo News fly high while the exact same stories on reuters.com and apnews.com sink like a stone
— Super-old stories and Wikipedia articles that keep coming back like Groundhog Day

Yeah, they forgot regime change: remove leaders who are actively thwarting reform.

After the novelty wears off, it'll be interesting to find out whether a normal number of holes is a requirement for porn star success.
