"If you disagree with someone, the only honorable thing to do would be to go on their platform of misinformation to make them more money while they present your position in the most disingenuous way possible." Come on, you can&#x2

My favorite part is how on Monday mornings when I have a meeting I can just 100% count on one of these things happening: -One of them will have a dead battery, even though they've been in a perfectly clean case that charged it yesterda

Not exactly what the OP is talking about, but I do consulting and have ~5 gmail accounts. My FAVORITE feature ever is: "huh. You just woke up on a Tuesday and need to get to work? Well, we've logged you out of all your accounts an

glad we're focusing on the important thing here.

So you're dismissing the defund the police movement based on the phrasing and not knowing anything about it? What would be so harmful with learning about the thing you're speaking about with authority before doing so...?

Its really weird how the "its just a flu, lol" crowd is totally okay with flu vaccines yearly but having more than 3 vaccines against a thing that has killed millions of people is JUST TOO MUCH. CAN'T HAVE THIS.

Totally! I don't think I've ever turned down a request to help someone. But in this case he basically admitted that he kind of lied to me so that he could get my advice, while asking for my advice. Bleh.

I have a fun one. In 2015 I was laid off from a startup that unfortunately shut down. During my search I was intro'ed by their VC to the CTO. The CTO told me they were hiring for my exact, kind of niche role. I was pretty pumped as I h

I absolutely cannot stand the way these TV providers continually try to rope their customers into their disputes. This happened when I had directv, it happened when I had comcast, it happens now with YoutubeTV. I would never in a million ye

>His reasoning was that they use to feel like they were on the side of the community, but in many places it is now the community is opposed to the police. This is like your grandpa telling you kids have no respect nowadays when all he do

I cannot think of a more sinister motivation than not wanting your fellow Americans to die.

Wow, I think I found the most disingenuous person on hacker news.

Aren't they mostly just used for Bloody Mary's? I fly a lot and I've never actually seen anyone order a tomato juice.

"why on earth should my actions have consequences!?!? this is cancel culture" is easily the most disingenuous cringe thing in the last year, and that is saying a lot.

by ryguytilidie 6y ago
I mean, you're basically the problem here. You're very clearly being disingenuous and playing word games at the exact moment you're accusing others of doing the same.

"They have illegal ones?" Yeah I thought the US only had LEGAL torture centers!!

I worked there in 2013. I very specifically remember getting a speech about how if we didn't believe that the company would be worth more than google, we should quit. Seems like that may have been a better option for a lot of folks.

I mean, at this point you seem to be upset that I'm judging someone for their statements and actions? What else is there to judge people by?

The things you're describing are rare. A credit card expiring is not rare at all. What were you hoping to prove here?

>The difference between McDonald's midrange line and, say, a burger at a restaurant for $18 is negligible in flavor. Oh come on. I get that you're trying to make a point but this is ridiculous.

Somewhat similar. I used to moderate a web forum and last summer I met someone from Scunthorpe. He said "yeah, its a small town, you've probably never heard of it." But I HAD heard of it because when I used to moderate that f

Its so weird that a company would make it clear that theyre in control of the platform they own and are responsible for. You're really being duped here. Its not about "twitter posting their views". This isn't a question

by ryguytilidie 6y ago
I don't think I've ever disagreed with anyone more than, "Twitter has massively overstepped what would reasonably be considered moderation." This is all because they DARED fact check lie number 2129317?LOL

Do you have a source for this? I hear this every year and it never happens.

Completely disagree. You forgot the A350, which appears to be a better plane than the 777x. I also disagree that the A330 neo is inferior to the 787. Its cheaper, more reliable and the fuel burn isn't much different. To say they'r

That's funny. I was aware of the secondary usage, but not the primary.

Why not make this calculation yourself versus demanding a stranger does it?
