You know, all those in this thread revealing their membership of Those-Who-Walk-Uphill-Both-Ways are going to get a serious reprimanding. But yeah I would have to agree with you. Family history of the same kind of poverty shopping. Making a

Not to be conspiratorial but I find all of this to be pretty intentional. It's currently very hard for me to stay on T-Mobile's legacy (i.e. true) PAYG plan which only supports regular texts. I often have to ask people I'm do

Well I'll say one thing about the "heat", I didn't expect this thread to get so noisy and thought my post was going to defuse it so now I regret that. I thought I was being nice. Anyway, speaking of projection. I'm

On the contrary, I'm the only one not judging this guy by his profession. As a result their mindset and platitudes look just as pitiable and silly to me than if he were to make a post saying that he works as a grocery clerk. P.S. Si

I think the downvotes (that's what gray means right?) are people's way of saying that the personal narrative that defines your life is so boring that your job is the only place you can achieve feelings like that. I feel bad for yo

And inconsistently moderated. Actual HN staff seem to hover between not caring about the obvious tactics at play - even calling it a "trope" a if we were in a movie, or flagging posts calling out the tactic while the originals sta

“Politicians need religion even more than a hermit in retreat. If a hermit acts out of bad motivation, he harms no one but himself. But if someone who can directly influence the whole of society acts with bad motivation, then a great number

When I see articles like this I can almost predict the steps of the big, bad independent cowboys of the world showing up in a related thread. I fully expect them to be the first to come on their knees to the people forming collectives to mo

You know, that's a good point. And I can't deny that now I'm probably locked into it by loose (/very/ loose) association. But yes I poorly chose my words, I'm sorry. Your example of branding is appropriate beca

Perceived? You don't see why I would find someone responding to a bad faith link with another link to a $15 pamphlet about their religion offensive? Why should I treat that as anything else like how I'd treat a mormon operating in

A videogame and book reference with crocs and PJs on? Yeah, seems even more foolish that I feel more identity with that look than real practitioners of its inspiration apparently do. :o

Such expert casting aside of personal responsibility and character that - I would assume - defines the self-sufficient individual who can dance and play hard that defines a heathen. How does it feel knowing that a conservative catholic (tol

(Foreward: I get the point you're trying to make, so please don't interpret as argumentative at you , forgottenpass) I enjoy Tolkien's success. This is the point I'm trying to make. I'm a bystander here and would n

Oh yes you guys have made it abundantly clear you're not bothered. So much so that I understand now how that appropriation happened so swiftly that it leaked over into sides of the fence only tenuously related to paganism. Resulting in

You are a heathen, yes? I want you to compare this excuse of a response - devoid of passion, identity or character to show people why being a heathen is wonderful - to my argument above in this thread. An argument made by a simple LOTR fanb

Regardless of whether or not the poster above was bringing up that tired comparison in good faith. The point must still be made. The ADL specifically says to evaluate all things in context. Note the similarities in the caution they advise w

This kind of thinking is why I have to dread the day someone calls me a white supremacist because of my Cirth tattoos. It's not even relevant to your viking nonsense. It's just LOTR. But people are being so submissive toward the p

Oh spare me. Not only do I not care to debate pseudo-intellectually in this fashion but my sample size is far beyond myself. Once again, cold cynicism doesn't make you cool. No more than unsubstantiated idealism.

Don't backtrack yourself. The day I took shrooms was the day I understood my place in the grand organism and the true power unto a god that each person has in their potential and the only inhibitor is how willing they are to confront t

Sorry man, your post has now been sucked into the toxic pit of horrible people both male and female. Also known as twitter. I tried to set the record straight, but alas I have less followers. You are now a horrible person and your typo is f

Agreed. I get by without having things I'm used to on my linux system like strace, lsof and so forth with it. It has a pane that displays pretty much everything with a handle from non-IP IPC sockets, normal sockets, files, registry, th

I have to be honest. This and other recent articles from them have convinced me that Ars is staffed by 18 year olds. 18 year olds with little life experience at that.
