but, at least they know how to make hyperlinks

Not my fault these forums are all screwed up

It's not your fault that you didn't hyper link?

what's a million bucks these days?

chump change.

and you can never know where you will get quality insight.

From what I have read, this is part of three years of research by a university, funded by a science grant, that is looking into how the internet uses and spreads misinformation through articles, twitters, memes, etc.; a project which is now nearing $1Mil worth of funding...which amounts to pretty much nothing considering how the government usually spends money.

You guys Mingmao just wants you to be mad at the government (and women usually). Can't you stop considering what he says and just get behind the his overall sentiment?

Step 1: Click "link" button

Step 2: Paste URL in "URL" line.

Step 3: Click "Create Link"

That isn't screwed up. That's just fucking lazy. They've made it infinitely easier to insert a link than the old forums.
