QuoteA 2014 study published in the psychology journal Personality and Individual Differences found that the approximately 5% of Internet users who self-identified as trolls scored extremely high in the dark tetrad of personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism and, especially, sadism.
"Machiavellianism" is the easiest and most obvious hint that someone has never read Machiavelli.

QuoteOnce it was a geek with lofty ideals about the free flow of information. Now, if you need help improving your upload speeds the web is eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you're struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself.
I really doubt the internet was ever a place where only lofty ideals were posted and trolling rarely occurred. the author seems to project what he wishes the internet was rather than what it actually was

People have been telling jumpers to jump since the invention of the 2nd story.
Is the bigger problem trolls, or people that start new threads for every alarmist op ed or news article that gets posted, with comment other than a single line about how we are doomed?
You should have your sockpuppet answer that.

I have read Machiavelli: The Prince, the Discourses and a play he wrote about the devil taking a wife. I also know the MacDonald triad, and it's bullshit.

the MacDonald triad,
Chicken McNuggets, the McRib and a Shamrock shake.

It was a rhetorical question, no one needs to answer.
Way to stay focused. Good job.

Also, did Time just discover the Internet? I know weekly magazines are a little late on the news, but this is 20 years late.

Actually I was wrong, the article talks about the Dark Tetrad. The MacDonald Triad is about fire starting, bed wetting and killing small animals. It's suppose to indicate a person will become a serial killer.
Arby's still does their Shake of the Month thingy. Orange Cream for August. It'll make you cum.
And stupid Chik-Fil-A, cancelling their banana cream pie shakes. Real bananas, and real chunks of pie crust. And that shit came down from Corporate, the same assclowns that close shit on Sundays and hate fags. So that's your three strikes right there.

I'm still coming down from the banana pudding milkshake sugar high from years ago.
:lol: I looked up the nutrition...the small banana pudding milkshake has 780 calories and 104g of sugar.
The american heart association recommends no more than 37.5g of sugar a day.

Pfft, they have an agenda.
Yeah any place on the internet you let the public in un-moderated will quickly become a cesspool. Fortunately our benevolent Languish mods keep us safe.
But I remember this being true in the early 90s on the old Prodigy message boards.

Of those, I only consider one something that a sensible human should even consider ingesting, and that's the Shamrock Shake.
