Saw this in a link concerning the Dutch teenage girl who tweeted in a bomb threat but then changed her mind and tweeted that she was sorry. She was picked up by police afterwards.

This is not a political thread, just an informational one.

That term is often used as a catch-all for agents of Internet mischief and unpleasantness, but recent studies have actually suggested a link between dedicated trolling and psychopathy. To quote a February paper published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, “it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists” — a.k.a., people who enjoy deceiving and manipulating other people.


I find it apropos for some on here. Hell, I might be one myself. Nah, I'm not that smart enough.

I like a cool, creamy coleslaw with my barbecue to add contrasting flavors.
