dns_snek never said any specific person as a mindless consumer. They argued that if you see nothing but drama then that implies you are a mindless consumer. The argument is that a …

Maybe I'm lucky in the instance I chose or the content I like being uncontroversial, but this isn't my experience at all. I've heard of instances carrying a lot of Nazi content bei…

You can name them if you want, and the names will show up in the properties of the operation, and you can reuse the values in formulas. There's a lot of options, and I think a lot …
