US, unfortunately. I'm not convinced of the accuracy of the script's list of commonwealth countries. I could have sworn Canada was part of the commonwealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Commonwea...
It is a very valuable member of the Commonwealth, but as I understand it it uses a mix of Commonwealth English and US English and I didn't get round to including it as an option.

This is great! In case anyone without telnet wants to see: here are 46 insults from that telnet service. http://pastebin.com/6SP2PucG I'm partial to "Your IQ is the same as the temperature in this room. And it's cold in here."
You don't have to remark about cold in most of the world. 35 centigrade degrees is very hot.

telnet: connect to address 108.4.184.93: Operation timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
ISP rotated out the IP... DHCP. I'll find a static one someplace and put it up. Edit: This works until 3:30 PM today (East Coast USA time): telnet insult.16s.us

I've lost the ability to flag in the past couple of months, for no reason I can discern. I seldom used it unless I thought the story was very off-topic. Only thing I can think of is accidentally fat-fingering flag on my phone, then a mod revoking my ability in retaliation.
If you think this submission is off-topic, and you've flagged other submissions like it, you may have lost your flagging rights. I dislike the way that people say actions are done "in retaliation" or as "retribution" - as I understand it they're largely automated.
Reddit exists for posts like this one.
I used to use 'flag' perhaps 10 times a year. And judging by how mods change post titles, they've clearly - IMHO - drifted into the harmful space.

Do you remember the way this site was when it first started out? I've been here a long time, and it's changed. I'm less and less engaged over time. Reddit exists for posts like this one.

Which on there are particularly good, or particularly bad?

Works both ways no? It's not that F needs the comment -- a comfortable room temp is ~75, and no one will think "but it might be 100 in here!"
