Post title corrected, as pointed out by OP.

One comment removed for not answering the question.

Hey folks, no comments removed but two comments in we're already off the rails. If the issue is that the post doesn't summarize the article well enough, that's fair feedback, but "what does this link to" read as combative rather than curious, and it pulled three more comments into a meta-conversation about hovering over text instead of the actual subject. Let's use the rest of the thread to actually engage with the link. Flagging and moving on rather than litigating the link format would be appreciated. Thanks.

Removed the first comment and a few replies to it. Posting a single link with the headline as a comment at the beginning of a thread lacks context so please try to articulate your point so that members understand the relevance of the comment in the context of the thread. Also, in general be careful when posting the first comments within a thread, as it can easily derail the conversation right of the bat.

Hey folks! No comments removed so far but just a quick nudge to bring things back on track. The thread is starting to drift into broad generalizations, “all women/all men” takes, extended arguments about Western culture in general, and a few back-and-forths that are not engaging with the article at all. That’s not super useful for anyone trying to discuss the actual topic here. Please refocus on the specifics of the post and let’s keep this thread grounded and in good faith. Further derails and back-and-forth comments picking a fight will need to be removed.

A few comments removed.Please remember that AskMeFi comments should address the question being asked, and please avoid starting and argument with other users.

One comment from Mr. Yuck has been removed. We have identified an ongoing pattern of posting graphic and disturbing personal anecdotes, despite prior moderator guidance on this issue. As a result, Mr. Yuck has been placed on an open-ended timeout and has been notified about it via email.

Fixed post title.

One comment deleted. Describing a situation involving sexual assault and unsafe supervision in a care setting in a casual, storytelling manner that is not appropriate for a free thread. Content that includes or trivializes harm needs to be handled with care and posted, if at all, in the proper context with clear intent (like seeking advice or support). Additionally, disclosing the name of the victim can do more harm than good, please refrain from doing that. If you need guidance on handling such a situation, consider posting in a dedicated Ask MeFi thread looking for advice or seeking appropriate professional resources

Duplicate comment removed.

Fixed wording in the original post.

One comment removed. Please try to be sensitive to context. Dropping a “you'll eat anything if you're hungry enough” joke into a thread that’s about women’s autonomy, captivity narratives, and sex ends up reading as dehumanizing toward women, even if that wasn’t the intent. In this context it treats sexual access to women’s bodies as a kind of generic need, which is objectifying and dated humour. Let's try to drop the derail and keep the focus on the ideas and history in the linked article instead.

Fixed URL

Please avoid using “derp” in this discussion. It has been widely used as a slur or mockery of people with intellectual disabilities, and even when someone intends it casually, it can still read as ableist and demeaning. We ask that comments use plain, non-stigmatizing language instead.

Added tags for AI and LLM.

Link to obituary updated in post.

Please drop the Israel derail and bring this back to the actual topic of the post. Continued derails may result in comments being removed.

No comments removed so far. Varion, your comments in this thread are moving away from discussing ideas and into attacking other users, which is not acceptable here. Insisting that people use AI when they clearly do not want to, and framing their refusal as a personal failing rather than a preference, is not how we expect disagreements to be handled on MetaFilter. You can make your point without attacking or belittling other users. Language like calling people “mentally deranged” or saying they “cower in ignorance” is out of bounds because it targets and insults other members instead of engaging with their arguments. Please take a step away from this tread and let the conversation move on.

Two comments removed as requested.

One comment removed. Please avoid starting a side conversation in response to orther comments. AskMeFi comments should answer the question being asked.

No comments removed for now, but let's not use protected classes (sexual orientation, race, and religion) to make a point; this is considered inappropriate here, moreover if it includes highlighting negative stereotypical characteristics historically related to those classes. This comes across as particularly violent towards those classes when you are comparing them to a job, which is not a fair comparison.

Added free thread tag.

Just chiming in to suggest we drop the Billy Joel derail, the point has been made.

A couple of comments removed left others as they contain useful advice. Let's try to recenter comments in this Ask around the actual question being asked (recommendations for Bike horns) rather than providing general advice for cyclist and pedestrians.
