some flossing would be nice.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Oh it's April fools day!  I got through a whole day of work without noticing, that's kinda disappointing.

Thanks for ensuring I didn't fall for any dodgy articles online tonight JD :)

I was going to post a thread like this. Looks like you beat me to it. I feel like April fools day is just a day to make unfunny people feel clever.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

I think the thing that bugs me the most are the fake classifieds posts. I mean, there are rules for posting in the classifieds, and these people are posting obvious joke threads. That's ****ed up. How do they even get approved. Oh, right.

It's okay. I think one of the Senior Moderators might be grant leniency. Maybe just give you a slap on the wrist.

I'm with you JD. Worst thing is I get through April Fools day here in Aus and then I have to wait another 12 hours for all you yanks to catch up. Super annoying reading April fools bool**** when it's April 2nd.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
