You are completely correct. Regarding your first and last sentences, the C19 invasion of HN has normalized "Did you read the article?" style comments, though this is explicitly recommended against in the guidelines:…
No, that source does not validate your claim. Rick Perry did not "attack regulation".
Yes, even further the guidelines suggest that snark has no place on HN. One day we may undo the damage done by the massive influx of C19 redditers. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: Replying to the…
I see a sarcastic misrepresentation of the parent's comment, and nothing of substance here. Is there a deeper, substantial point you wish to make?
> If you dig into the sourcing if the Colorado Sun's article, it cites an Instagram post[1] as evidence the business is closing, but the post says no such thing In that post, they announced that they will be closing,…
Yes, you are correct. Noting that [not] all cancel efforts are the same, and I'm sure there are edge cases and exceptions, it seems that generally cancel culture efforts often gain momentum when the target shows…
You make assertions which would require that the author was mistaken, while ungraciously and unfairly accusing them of lying. Posted elsewhere in this thread is evidence suggesting the possiblity that you may, in fact,…
No, I'm not arguing that proof is necessary for certainty. I'm pointing out that the implied reasoning is akin to argument from ignorance. We don't have to take a position on a topic if we are ignorant, but we often do…

Can you explain the strawman you believe the parent is presenting? What is the original argument, and what is the misrepresentation?
That "hip jargon" is concise, specifies characteristics, and clarifies meaning.
> Well, one thing you know is that poster knows no one reliant on powered medical devices. No, this is simply a baseless assumption made by you, with an effect similar to poisoning the well. I know people on medical…

Yes, this definitely contributes. You see these changes in the language used and in the voting habits as well.
Yes. If it helps, the script blocking toggle in Brave allows me to read it.
I sometimes find word choice to be a reliable heuristic for evaluating the probable worth of some prose, but I don't see why, in this case, you feel this way. Would you mind elaborating? (Assuming your conclusion is…
I could be wrong, but I assumed it had the necessary number of (presumably fake) 5 star reviews that had no comments, and that the parent post was listing only those reviews that left comments. Edit: In other words,…
