I think it's 'dead' in comparison to the way it used to be used. I was actually just looking for RSS feeds for some of the top news sites, and a lot of them have specialized RSS feeds for a certain category but not for…

Yeah, I remember during World War II, the Fascists were really giving the Nazis hell. Just classic fascism.

I mean, that's a pretty common narrative. "They were being ATTACKED for being racist so they became MORE RACIST." And? There's this black guy. They did this documentary on him a while back. He went and befriended KKK…
I mean, if banning Nazi'ism is considered 'state censorship' then yes, I wholeheartedly support state censorship. If that's 'imposing someone's truth on everyone else', so be it.
Name three podcasts since there are 'a lot of black supremacists'.
Honestly, I would prefer that over the ambiguity. I'd much rather live in a state in America where being a Nazi is illegal with the side effect of knowing, unequivocally, that I need to leave another state because my…

I think that's really easy to believe in - when you're not at risk in any kind of way. I mean, if you're a white guy, what do you give a fuck about someone turning America into a white ethnostate? Sure, theoretically,…

It's interesting this would pop up, because I was just thinking yesterday about how the holes of cans used to be a different shape. I believe it was mid to late 90's. They switched over to a larger hole. I was telling…
I walk laps around the car in my garage and if the weather is particularly nice, I'll walk outside. I try to do this for about an hour a day. Since this is Hacker News, and might fit the demographic, I built an abacus,…

"Different people have different risk tolerances and people with lower risk tolerances disgust me." Okay, gotcha.
I have a similar issue with watching TV and movies and any form of media consumption. I stopped rewatching stuff. (for the most part) And now when I save stuff for later, I ask myself, "Is this something that I find…
It's not so much 'people who left California are Republicans" but more, 'people who post on social media about how they're leaving California -are- Republicans".
That's because many of them from the Elon Musk school of problem solving. "You're poor? Work harder. Get a better job. First principles." "You're unhealthy? Exercise more. Eat better food. First principles."
I would have agreed with you... up until the pandemic. If we didn't live in a car dependent country, way more people I know would have died. You -could- make the argument that we'd probably be healthier and thus,…
