It's interesting to see comments like this that sound like they were written by someone who recently went through a social justice course at university. Of course, I understand the impetus to piggyback a grievance on phrases like &quot

To further feed these tortured analogies, your car is rusted and has no wheels. Replacing the transmission is pointless and it's time to send it to the wreckers and get a new car.

Correct, and companies only ever pretended to care about measures of diversity that didn't hurt their bottom line too much. How about software diversity, where one doesn't have to use either iOS or Android to function in the moder

You're assuming it's possible to incrementally improve the situation, but maybe a "crackpot" is the best we can manage. If we could put someone truly, brilliantly competent and uncaptured in charge it would have happened

This is a pattern we see again and again. The true believers are fools because they don't anticipate how the implementation of their doctrine will be gamed.

> Half the populace elected a blubbering rapist, felon, and fascist to lead them. Again. Your kind of ignorance is so tiresome. It's one of the best arguments for doing away with democracy altogether.

Trump may not have deserved to win, but the Democrats deserved to lose - and I'm relieved they did. Maybe after this rematch the blue team will finally understand the loss was their fault, so they can start moving away from the abomi

This is complete nonsense. Israel isn't pursuing genocide. They've killed less than 100,000 Palestinians out of several million. That's obvious restraint compared to what they could do if they really wanted to. You may not li

It's not about "failing". Boeing lobbied for special treatment to save some cash instead of fixing a safety issue. For that, the death penalty is appropriate.

No, it's a woman who uses her sexual allure to attract and extract money from lonely boys.

Yes, the punishment should be immense. But we all know there's no real justice to be had here. In places like China, there's personal accountability at the highest level of an org for major screw ups - sometimes even capital punis

Not all cultures have the same personality. Some combinations are more compatible than others.

Healthcare is not free, it's taxpayer funded and consumes a huge portion of the national budget.

Wait until the definition of hate speech changes to include something _you_ want to say.

Frigate for object detection on RTSP streams. It integrates with Home Assistant so you can include detections in automations. Also Proxmox, Prosidy (XMPP), AdGuard Home, Jellyfin, Paperless and Photoprism. Also see this list for more ideas:

What does "safest speech" even mean? Most boring? Orthodox? Speech that doesn't cause negative emotion?

I've done nine days on water only and it was fantastic. It reset my tastebuds and simple foods tasted great again. Not to mention the weight loss.

Yeah, beauty and fun aren't necessary. Maybe we should instead exist in a drab, brutalist world. That ought to decrease emissions a fair bit.

This is what pathological inclusion gives us - a lack of conflict between ideas, which means there can be no proper evolution of ideas. So inferior ideas end up wallowing in their own pools of self-aggrandizing ignorance.

Postmodern relativism has encouraged viewing all knowledge on an equal footing, which is ridiculous, because the application of knowledge has varying consequences. If you care about what's real and you care about progress, scientific e

What's this trend of telling others to please do something? I've seen it all over HN this year and it's so condescending.

He was POTUS, that's why. And still they got rid of him as soon as they could. Less well known figures got booted for less.

The average person would not agree a far right systemic bias is now growing. What you're seeing is a correction towards the center.

Online platforms should not be allowed to moderate content according to whim or unwritten bias. If a piece of content is moderated, it should remain in place and be clearly labeled with an explanation from the TOS. Exceptions: If the modera

Either you're kidding, or you're so far left that everything else looks right wing.

In other words, Twitter was moderating user content according to a systemic far-left political bias at the company. But since your bias matches, you don't think it's a big deal.

Some of the recent pronouns I've seen are barely pronounceable. Getting others to refer to you in an unwieldy way seems more like a power play to me. We already have some titles that signal achievement, like Doctor. I'd be for int

It being incredibly important to them is part of the narcissism. They can believe whatever they want, but they don't get to demand validation from anyone who's not willing to freely give it. This pronoun nonsense is as much of a c
