Don't worry, nobody wants to attend your failing kleptocracy. America, you need to sort your shit out yesterday.

Guaranteed this is the next move they'll try in Australia too.

What a brilliant plan! Nobody could have seen this coming! God I'm sick of the constant attacks against online freedom. God forbid anyone should ever have a private conversation.

As an Australian it's so irritating how enthusiastic people are to give up their privacy and freedom of speech, and also force everyone to hand over personal information to private companies, on the flimsiest of pretexts from our per

As a child I had unlimited time to work out how to access stuff that interested me, a lot of which was forbidden in some way, because that's the most interesting stuff! In the process I learned about computers and eventually got a mode

I'm 100% convinced that the UN was under attack... But I'm very surprised there wasn't a copy of Sims 3 visible.

How many surveillance cameras does your government operate again? How much do you trust your current government with the extensive surveillance apparatus they have created? How much do you trust the next government? What about the governmen

It's interesting that you recognize that the oval office is where you go to make an agreement with Russia.

He hadn't agreed to anything. This was obviously a Trump ambush for "good TV". Yes sir, I'm very sorry sir I didn't wear a nice suit when my people are being murdered. Oops, I mean de-nazified sir. Just tell me wher

You make the mistake of assuming they're doing this in good faith. I'm in Australia and we're going to have the same problem with our under-16 social media ban. There's privacy-preserving ways to do it, but they definite

Here in Australia we have a line you can call, I think it was started during covid. No idea how useful it'd be for non-covid calls though. Probably not very.

All that illegal wiretapping has to be analyzed somehow!

Interesting. We didn't ask for anyone to call the ambulance, although personally I am happy that it was called and she was checked out.

Because you mentioned Germany and surprise bills... My partner suffered a medical episode while we were traveling in Germany. Bystanders called an ambulance which turned up and checked her out and asked her to be taken to hospital for more

If it is actually United Healthcare, it seems they haven't quite received the message yet. Maybe another hero can clarify things.

Aah. The documentary made it sound like it was miles from civilization.

When you put it like that, I agree it's difficult, but I'm trying my best to be charitable. It'll be an interesting 4 years.

What an absurd take. People do actually have a right to "quiet enjoyment" in their homes. If everyone made that amount of noise, the area we live in would be completely unbearable. I wouldn't complain if he only used his stup

I'm personally fine with scapegoating all CEOs. Basically anyone over a certain pay. 10M is my number but I'm sure all the temporarily embarrassed billionaires on here would be shocked by such a low number. Anything over that and

Why would you hope that? Can you really not think of anyone where it would be better if they were... not there anymore?

Everyone is walking a tightrope. I, and probably a lot of people reading this on HN, are outwardly very comfortable. I have cash/assets that would be life changing for most people (especially when I read comments on reddit where people

I wouldn't do it, but I actually do understand and respect the argument, "neither political side is going to materially help me, so why not vote for a wrecking ball that will surely change something ?"

When the government doesn't represent people any more, it's natural for people to represent themselves. And who feels represented by their government these days?
