I mean I was personally disappointed here
Being an American citizen, I prefer to do business with American entities, regardless of what shitty opinion her detractors may express. I am loyal to her, more loyal than I would be to Tonga, or Montenegro, just to…

How about using a gTLD that is not subject to the whims of geopolitics and unstable island nations? I think it is class-A stupid for whole swaths of the Internet to be depending on these "micronations" who are…
55 != 38. That is a huge discrepancy!
Congratulations! You are this thread’s winner of the UUOC award!
For centuries, Roman Catholics belonged to territorial parishes. That is, wherever they lived determined which parish they attended, and they also had obligations to support the material needs of this home parish, and…
> someone alive who wasn't really alive. Wow what a completely horrible and deliberate misunderstanding of the facts. I hope that if you're ever in a state where all it takes to keep you alive is food and water, that…
It is only logical that prospective mates use LinkedIn as an informal "background check" because, 9 times out of 10, if you're in front of a real person who is a professional, they'll be on LinkedIn, and moreover,…
Yes, what is that indeed? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pluralism It seems that HN commenters don’t understand what collectivism is. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/collectivism
So, falsehoods are jokes now? Hey guess what? I wrote xscreensaver! Haha, funny joke, right, philistine? Hilarious! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistinism
I think the most common use case was when a file descriptor was still open in some process, but the file itself had been completely unlink'd from the filesystem. Most often it was some sort of temporary file. Anyway the…
Man how low does that aircraft fly? My friend used to complain about UHF interference because he lived so close to the approach glidepath.
I am unclear what the joke is here. GP appeared to be sincere because there is a still image from the film embedded in the FAQ for no reason. The “joke” is not part of the FAQ. So, what actually is the joke? Has the…
I should re-read my lease agreement to see exactly which kinds of AA batteries I can install on my 2nd floor balcony.
You must be joking about Jurassic Park, right? The systems in Jurassic Park are clearly and obviously running IRIX on SGI workstations, and the girl character says as much when she recognizes Unix. The file system…
No idea where you got those definitions. An immigrant is one who arrives and moves into a place or country. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/immigrate An emigrant is one who leaves and moves out of a place.…

I have currently got 5 Google accounts: 4 personal, and one from school. Google encourages multiple accounts and it’s not like social media where they stamp out sockpuppets. Also, a real phone number that isn’t VoIP is…
I am surrounded by dog owners, and most of them are terminally stupid dog owners, and that is why they "own" pets rather than having children, because CPS would probably take away humans in a heartbeat. My human…
Supermarkets are abundant near me, and vary wildly in their experiences. I could shop at a Wal-Mart or a Target for groceries, and thus be subject to all the same big-box shopping pitfalls. I could shop at a farmers…

Whenever I go shopping for a single, most trivial item, I really need to psyche myself up. Those critical moments just upon entering the store are the key. Because immediately upon walking in the door, you are immersed…
I can relate. For a brief, shining month, I worked at Tower Records, and one of the duties when we closed was to get on the PA (through the phone system) and make the announcements about the store closing. Now these…
