Old friend drama, yeesh. I'll skip the story for now and say this: plenty of nerds have not figured out that in the age of the internet, wittiness is abundant and low-value. Consideration and respect, however, are still pure gold.
@MexicanYenta it's a proud tradition: Sitcomsplaining.
But when Ricky told Lucy SHE had a lot of 'splaining to do, it was a language issue, since the Spanish word for Splain is Splique...
Autumn weather? Here it's 86F/30C, bright sun with less than the usual great air quality, due to the fires 200 MILES NORTH OF HERE. There's a storm front that may get here by Thursday (current 5 day forecast under 50% chance of rain). Autumn?
...and a follow-up comment:
Here's a potential rule of thumb (via a fiendish thingy's comment upthread): Mansplaining when doing it to women, Whitesplaining when doing it to POC, Whitemansplaining when doing it to WOC, Cissplaining when doing it to Non-Cis, and when you do it to persons of your own category OR don't care what they are: just SPLAINING.
And there's a not-too-broad line between MeFi's already-defined "beanplating" and Splaining.
In MeFi's thread about "Mansplaining", this is my most favorited comment in MONTHS...
Most of this is PAINFULLY TRUE, but this one is actually funny:
When women sing
"They did the Mash"
And then the guy chimes in
"They did the *Monster* Mash"
That's called Wolfmansplaining.

Or am I overexplaining?
this is why 95% of my commenting is on Metafilter where moderators delete my awfulest stuff...

"if you're not paying for it, you're the product" is not a hard-and-fast rule, but true frequently enough (and true in the BIG examples) to be very useful for influencing actions...

I have a category in my rss reader (yes, I still use one) i call "Brain Candy"... this is one of the less active sites I follow

Later, I'll link to some of the more active - you have been warned.
These numbers do not fill me with confidence for the future.

Well here's a chart on relative Scoville Units of major branded hot sauces https://sriracha2go.com/blogs/the-spicier-life/how-hot-is-sriracha-scoville-scale It's a Sriracha FanSite but Huy Fong isn't high on the list, which explains why my Very Gringo Taste Buds accepted it so quickly (but also the identifiable garlic side taste)

@ctmf well, at lest you won't be constantly badgered by "American Real Christians" yelling "Say Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays!!!"
@bunnyhero I'm current on Firefox Regular 56, and fearing the move to 57 because most of my Add-ons are "legacy" and may not survive the Big Switch. (I'm being optimistic saying "may") I already gave up my favorite legacy theme because it borked some customizing...
