Some of us don't click on links if we don't know where the link is taking us.

That's a pretty common sentiment around here.

Thanks.

But if it makes you feel better it's an opinion piece and the site doesn't throw crappy ads at you. It's Pajiba and provides all kinds of news.

In my years of being here at DU I've never had to explain a link. Either some will read it or don't.

It's a sobering read which is why I've provided it. I certainly wouldn't post anything on DU that would be an issue.

Really hard to deconstruct the link without clicking on it, particularly on phones. Just be polite and state the site name rather than arguing about it.

BTW It is a pajiba.com

Maybe deleting this thread is a better idea.

I've never had to explain a fucking link before.
