Maybe it would be better for this community if I would leave… (I’m not satirical)
Why do you think so? And why would you leave?

Please don’t leave, you’re a really great part of the community, and the forums wouldn’t be the same without you! I’m sure they didn’t intentionally write your name there, too, I think it was just intended represent a sigh.

I believe it was more the exclamation ‘aah’, as in ‘oh right’, and not your name

For a moment there, I was confused as to why @aah31415 felt concerned by the message as he was not part of the discussion between @TeaKing and @zenzonegaming. It’s only after your message that I realize it’s because their username begins with “aah”. Rest assured @aah31415, I was not talking about you.

You can’t eat the cake and … eat it too. It is clear at this point that it is the cake you eat every year that causes the sickness.
it doesn’t always make me sick, just most of the time
Toxic cake… Each to their own, I guess.
Anyway:
At least on Mac the new UI works slightly better than the old one, though it is still laggy ab.

I’ve got no clue who that is and googling doesn’t also help. So based on previous experience I would guess that it is again someone who has very one-sided garbage opinions. And no one is really interested on these forums to take the time and dissect such argumentation videos. At least that’s my prediction.
Is ‘ab’ an abbreviation for ‘as Belgium’‘, as in "Cthulhu belgium it, this connection’s laggy as Belgium’?
@hhyyrylainen I do enjoy breaking down a bad argument. However, most of the time when a disingenuous actor makes a series of arguments, it takes so long to pick apart everything that’s wrong with it that it’s unlikely to overcome whatever damage might be done by showing them saying it. And very often ‘debate’ videos are actually just people trying to look badass by putting down their opponents.
@blackjacksike What’s the debate on?
Yes. Exactly.

Yes, there’s a lot of money to be made in that. There are whole media networks built around it.
I debated joining the er, debating societies at uni, as I though it would be really useful to learn how to explain things in a way that people would more readily understand, and be more likely to accept. But, they’re always based on convincing people of something regardless of the reality. It’s Plato’s main criticism of the Sophists - although Plato was guilty of it just as much as they were.

I was reading: How to Delete Uploaded Files? - support - Discourse Meta
and to my shock I read, what I kind of knew already, that uploads are only deleted if the latest version of a post doesn’t reference them. And deleted posts count as the latest version. So before deleting a post if there are uploads in it that need deleting, the post needs to be edited to remove the image links to allow the automatic orphaned image deletion task to delete them.
I see. Well, I can’t remember all videos I’ve watched a couple of minutes of.
