Well I mean I'd call it being dickish but that's just me. He's a perfect gentleman as far as I'm concerned. I aspire to keep form and force of character as he has this many years on. If anyone wants a pretty amusing…
I too remember the time when we didn't assume there'd be a Makefile-ish system that has to bundle everything, compile the sass, pull bootstrap, etc. Then there's the map files for debugging that will generate cleanly…
The more people see through fear (lies we tell ourselves to be merciful to ourselves in lieu of the pain of knowledge) the more it becomes clear that those they fear are just different projections of themselves. That…
It's my understanding that the "horn" is some kind of growth at the base of the skull caused by craning it so often. So nothing like a horn any more than someone with a spinal condition if I'm reading the article…
I like how this thread is at least partly confirming that Facebook has been taken over by parents sharing minion memes and shit, and this explains why. I mean no judgement here. If you can get your social jollies…
If I had the fuck-you levels of money facebook does I'd switch you and your house cleaner's salary, hire a PI to follow you and figure out which waiter or clerk hates you the most (you know there's at least one) and…
You know, all those in this thread revealing their membership of Those-Who-Walk-Uphill-Both-Ways are going to get a serious reprimanding. But yeah I would have to agree with you. Family history of the same kind of…
Not to be conspiratorial but I find all of this to be pretty intentional. It's currently very hard for me to stay on T-Mobile's legacy (i.e. true) PAYG plan which only supports regular texts. I often have to ask people…
Well I'll say one thing about the "heat", I didn't expect this thread to get so noisy and thought my post was going to defuse it so now I regret that. I thought I was being nice. Anyway, speaking of projection. I'm not…
On the contrary, I'm the only one not judging this guy by his profession. As a result their mindset and platitudes look just as pitiable and silly to me than if he were to make a post saying that he works as a grocery…
I think the downvotes (that's what gray means right?) are people's way of saying that the personal narrative that defines your life is so boring that your job is the only place you can achieve feelings like that. I feel…
And inconsistently moderated. Actual HN staff seem to hover between not caring about the obvious tactics at play - even calling it a "trope" a if we were in a movie, or flagging posts calling out the tactic while the…
“Politicians need religion even more than a hermit in retreat. If a hermit acts out of bad motivation, he harms no one but himself. But if someone who can directly influence the whole of society acts with bad…
Sure, I'll follow that link to who-knows-what to prove a point only you're aware of. OR, I could call whataboutism for what it is and not be an intellectually dishonest weasel about it like you are. I choose option B.…
Cause HN is starting to turn into the same whataboutism infested propaganda repository that Reddit is. Only when I get tired of it here, I can't delete my account. :(
Sorry for being mildly off-topic but the other comment with regards to police being complete morons and causing violence on purpose is pretty much my take on the situation. Definitely justifies my incredulity at the…
When I see articles like this I can almost predict the steps of the big, bad independent cowboys of the world showing up in a related thread. I fully expect them to be the first to come on their knees to the people…
You know, that's a good point. And I can't deny that now I'm probably locked into it by loose (/very/ loose) association. But yes I poorly chose my words, I'm sorry. Your example of branding is appropriate because at…
Perceived? You don't see why I would find someone responding to a bad faith link with another link to a $15 pamphlet about their religion offensive? Why should I treat that as anything else like how I'd treat a mormon…
A videogame and book reference with crocs and PJs on? Yeah, seems even more foolish that I feel more identity with that look than real practitioners of its inspiration apparently do. :o
Such expert casting aside of personal responsibility and character that - I would assume - defines the self-sufficient individual who can dance and play hard that defines a heathen. How does it feel knowing that a…
(Foreward: I get the point you're trying to make, so please don't interpret as argumentative at you, forgottenpass) I enjoy Tolkien's success. This is the point I'm trying to make. I'm a bystander here and would not…
Oh yes you guys have made it abundantly clear you're not bothered. So much so that I understand now how that appropriation happened so swiftly that it leaked over into sides of the fence only tenuously related to…
You are a heathen, yes? I want you to compare this excuse of a response - devoid of passion, identity or character to show people why being a heathen is wonderful - to my argument above in this thread. An argument made…
Regardless of whether or not the poster above was bringing up that tired comparison in good faith. The point must still be made. The ADL specifically says to evaluate all things in context. Note the similarities in the…
