Why is this on hackernews again? I thought it was a blog on Kubernetes or React!

You’re mistaken about something - the only thing hacker news denizens have in common is that they could potentially feature in posts on /r/iamverysmart. You probably thought it was tech or something about startups…think again.

If you have showdead turned on, there's a fella spamming almost every thread saying it's a covid site

Yeah, what the actual fuck. This really makes me question the audience on this site... Does anyone have any alternatives to hacker news? Preferably ones with more skeptics than there are occultist and "demonologist" morons? Fucking bizarre.

    Funny how the pretentious dorks that spam this never seem to apply the quote to itself. I mean do educated people have to entertain thoughts of pedophilia without accepting it? Idiot.

    I forget, is your quote attributable to Michael Scott or Wayne Gretsky? You assume I've neither read the article or researched demonology. I have. All of the neopagan bullshit and demonic sigils can be traced back to obvious frauds starting in the 19th century, when occultist grifting was in vogue. This is a simplistic article on an already childish subject.

      You seem pretty caught up in your own emotions on this topic and are missing my point entirely. These stories and ideas still came from human minds, and that's the part that interests me even if I think the claims are fraudulent.

        One could argue that the mere existence of a concept or an idea in someone's mind makes it real, especially so if that concept or idea has real, observable side effects for others in the "real" world. Heck, isn't this why we read science fiction or play board games? They create a mental image, the image is real in our minds.

        Neat but it's still a simplistic article and pretty much everything "comes from human minds." My emotions are disdain and disbelief that people still gobble up this horseshit. Nothing wrong with that. Do you believe yourself to not have any emotions and are an arbiter of truth and perfect logic? Please.

      As technologists, we play in complicated contructed worlds, with rules and rituals, and obscure variations and debatably non-stochastic processes, created by other people all day long (and sometimes all night). You don't have to believe in demons (or third normal form, or agile) for the body of knowledge to be interesting. Some people take it pretty seriously, and some people do it for fun. Like LARPing.

Is a classical 'testing your interests' hook. Probably for filling reports. Similar to 'What brand of sunglasses do you wear?'. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28029206 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28029206 or the, always popular bunch of themes falling in the pattern: 'do you take drugs?/ what drugs have you experienced?' or 'what diseases do you had?' also very popular theme. In resume, Don't talk with the police but, would you mind to answer this bunch of questions about your personality on internet instead, please?.
