About pwdisswordfish0
Please do not be disrespectful toward others.
Separate the commenter from the comment.
Smart commenters still make dumb comments now and then. And vice versa.
Consequently, the "identity" of the commenter is not a reliable predictor of the quality of the comment.
Shared accounts such as this one can address this problem.
Each comment must stand on its own, apart from identity and historical karma.

I sometimes fear I shouldn’t play driving games too much, so that I don’t get desensitised against those intrusive thoughts I sometimes get on the road. I wonder how irrational tha…

Sorry, try again. That's not how proof-by-contradiction works. > This is 100% true. It literally is not, unless you think 100% means "less than 100%".

This is not really true. Chrome's extensions to the Web platform comprising its Page Lifecycle APIs are coherent, well-reasoned, and valuable/inoffensive, yet other browsers have n…

Well, sure, the value of an input is in its value property, but you build your stuff in such a way that you don’t access it unless you absolutely have to.
