Although, that makes me feel like the turtle tax is even less needed than before...

Have you noticed how little it has been needed today, simply because it exists?
It's a little paradoxical... The fact that it can be used lessens the need for it to be used.

There's something that I wrote up in 2016. If Reddit hadn't messed up the API, I could easily retrieve it.

Ironically, if Reddit hadn't messed up the API, I wouldn't need to retrieve it.

Found it anyway! From August 2016:

Whenever there are three or more gathered together, rude and nasty people will arrive. The question is, what do you do with them?

Do you... tell them to leave? Or do you make them stand in the corner and juggle fish if they want to continue being rude and nasty? At least with the latter, they are somewhat entertaining.

Sounds kinda silly, until you figure one more thing in... what if there is a group of people who consider it a prize to be told to leave?

"No prize for you -- start juggling, or decide on your own to go somewhere else."

Then when the juggler returns home, prizeless, hands smelling of fish...

There is the possibility that the others there might try to find a less-juggly place to be annoying.
