That didn’t acknowledge anything that I said and was no different than the grandfather comment lol. You just pretty much reworded your original comment. (Although, I do slightly agree less with this wording. It’s too absolute and doesn’t ap

True, but people tend to act like similar programs don’t exist in red states also when they make statements such as yours… (Also, Maryland had a republican governor up until recently)

Good thing you can’t do anything about it lol (Also, please don’t forget all of the degenerate white people who were also the cause of “Stop Asian Hate” (i.e. the ones who voted for Trump and complained about Chinese people eating bats.) S

What are the effects? What’s the science? What are the calculations you’re speaking of lol? If they’re so basic and can be done on the back of an envelope, can you provide them right now? Are you saying that fetanyl is no more deadly than h

Uhh sure. What are the actual effects? Have you tried it? I’m all for calling a pig a pig. Let me know. Are you saying that fetanyl is no more deadly than heroin? (Also, if anything, the whole “illegal substance flying in a person’s face” t

There are plenty of stories of the wind accidentally blowing illegal substances into people’s faces… Based on the death rates, it seems like no one really has a higher “tolerance”. Even fetanyl users can’t handle fetanyl…

Remember that HN’s guidelines say that “if a story is spam or off-topic, flag it.” This is neither spam nor off-topic. Flagging this means that you’re triggered. Let’s have a civilized discussion. I know you guys can do it! Can’t you?

@gnicholas @dang See what I was talking about 4 days ago! Just the name Gebru is triggering to (some) HN users. My comment from 4 days ago: “”” Sidenote: HN isn’t all fun and games. Please don’t paint it as that. When I (and peers that I’ve

I think the person took “do the same” too literally lol. Likely there was no ill intent. They also might have been asking the question: “Does 0.5px vs 2px matter in any significant way?” The answer to that question is still no. But I could

Have you seen the newer calculators? TI does still sell the older calculators but the newer ones have color screens at least. The interface is different (from my 2000s TI-83+ and TI-89) too. Also, I would have appreciated the app/onlin

I get shipping and delivery notifications from Zara because someone (accidentally I believe) entered my number when ordering. It’s sort of creepy because it shows me their address and I see a photo of the package on their doorstep.

I enjoy spoilers also. But if the game is story-driven , then I do feel skipping cutscenes makes me miss out on the story or become confused and start to care less about the game (e.g. Diablo IV) But yes, a point I made in my original comm
