Slashdot Mirror


An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World

Saige writes "Every night, as darkness descends, countless street lamps and lights turn on to keep the darkness at bay, bathing countless square feet of the planet in light that sometimes rivals daytime. But has anyone stopped to consider what effect all this light may have on people and animals that have evolved to fit an environment where a significant part of the 24 hour day is spent in lightless conditions? Some scientists have, and they are claiming that all this light is causing numerous problems."

    FUCK YOU! I think that this forum is being abused by people who insist on moderating funny posts down just because they are off topic. That's stupid and it's not the way Taco used to run his site. He originally liked a little bit of humor here or there regardless of whether it was on topic or not. But now you fucking moderators have ruined what little fun was left on Slashdot. You've turned it into the lowest common denominator of what it used to be. INstead of being visited by intelligent people with a sense of humor and a love of the obscure, it's now a cesspool of mediocrity just like all the other sites on the net. Fucking monkeys bring down the tone here. Anyway, enough of my rant. This is just a big fuck you to all the bastards that ruined what was once a great community for those of us who spire to something more.

    If you're looking a a website that accepts you for who your are, go to plastic.com.

    If you read Slashdot at score=-1, you soon see that it is full of racist homophobes who like to shout "first post."
