If you ever feel like you're rowing your boat against the current, like you should belong, but you don't, like you got something backwards, you are not alone. Here's someone to keep you company: a USB-to-USB-C adapter:

@mdhughes What the whaaaat...?
@eris I get how annoying that is. But I always assumed that the premise was that existing members are more familiar with the website than new users. The design prioritizes creating an account over logging in as a courtesy to those who come for the first time.
