As usual, another HN thread that perfectly exemplifies victim blaming and a collective burying of heads in the sand. There's a few people on here who seem to get it, but most don't. I'm sick of it. Goodbye, Hacker News.

It's all really hard work and a winery is likely even more work. You need to always be watching the grapes, you have to hire seasonal workers to pick the grapes (actually not much automation in this area) plus the unpredictability of t

Agreed - if you swing a sword hard enough it just becomes a bat, not a cutting device. I feel like this armor empowers people who'd like the experience of just wailing on somebody with a stick, but it doesn't really simulate a rea

That would be fine except Hershey's chocolate really isn't very good. They use way too much sugar and not enough cocoa to really make it respectable chocolate. The only reason it sells well is because of market dominance and that

It's true that "consumer chocolate" in America is pretty bad, i.e. anything made by Hershey's. Too much sugar and not enough cocoa. Good stuff should be above 57% cocoa. If it's less than that, buy high-quality milk

Imagine a scientific study that just said "Scientific justification for social oppression found." In a nutshell, I believe that's why. It's not even that it's bad for there to be differences between the sexes; what&

Agreed - I have to mention necroscope86 on YouTube. By far my favorite LP'er. I think he had a snafu with his account that deleted a bunch of videos, but he had some very funny X-COM play throughs. It was more about his commentary and

Well...there's that one operating system out there that got pretty popular after some guy in Finland posted it online. Name escapes me at the moment, though.

Funny enough, that attitude may make it more successful in the long term. History has shown many times that it's not always the 100% dead serious who make it, but those who are just, well...making it up as they go along.

That's the thing - my karma is high enough that I know what not to post. Generally speaking. Every once in a while though, I get tired of pretending that I don't also have a goofy sense of humor and stuff like this slips through.

Here's a simple example that most of us can probably relate to. I often read the Danish news outlets for coverage on "big" international stories. I read them a lot during the last Iraq war. The example: when the Abu Ghraib sc
