That's evil. I love it. I've used variants of:

"its-all-caps-AND.all.dash.separated"

Obviously I had to quit it beacuse, done well, it's completely insufferable.

Nice. That's a whole tale of joy, adorableness, frustration, and brilliance, all in a Wifi SSID.

I think we should bring back web rings, but nobody else seems to miss them.

Edit: I'm so old, I should probably link to what a web ring is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring

I'm bummed that no one in this thread has an exact duplicate post with more upvotes. Can we make it happen to my post, or is that too childish?

It probably wouldn't work, but I would warn Martin Luther King's event organizers or security detail.

I'm old enough that I could have lived in a world where Martin Luthor King Jr was still an active activist in my lifetime. It's heartbreaking to think about what his loss meant not just symbolically, but in terms of how much better the entire world could have been with almost an extra half century of his influence.

I've given up huge piles of cash by choosing to not work for megacorps.

It's worth it to me.

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals.

The current trend line sucks, but we've seen plenty of times in history what the ultra rich ignoring the plight of everyone else looks like. Someone please pass the "not with them" list to me to sign when it's time to chop their heads off.

I wish I was joking, but I'm not. Seriously. I'm not with them. I would like to keep my head while we adjust course abruptly.

Edit: To be clear, I am not advocating. What should happen is that our climate, inequality, and injustice trends get fixed through peaceful cooperation. But our current crop of billionaires don't show a lot of sign of either wanting that, or having any real awareness of where their current path, historically, goes. Which wouldn't really be material to me, other than beacuse I'm at risk both from the climate, and from how guillotines historically kill a lot of bystanders.

I mean, that's only reasonable. Obviously.

For a moment there, I really did see five latinum bars.

Indeed. It is, I daresay, fucking perfect.

As part of the eternal September myself, we didn't just use AOL disks as coasters, we used them for awesome pranks like filling eachother's cars to the brim with them. It was truly astonishing how many of those disks were around.

Underrated answer. Feels like we see a lot of price fixing under that guy's watch.

Edit: I don't mean to minimize the damage that guy does. But I think there's value in remember that he'snobody's allly.
