I’ve stopped using the label “libertarian” and started using “anarchist” to mean the same thing.

Well the way things are headed, we’ll be fighting it out in the open IRL soon.

That’s not censorship, it’s editorial oversight.

I believe in freedom of speech. What I do not believe in is freedom of mass speech. Your responsibility to the truth should increase in line with your reach. Have 1000 followers in twitter and want to talk about starting the next holocaus

Hey OP, I’m a couple years older than you but have gone through this over the last few years. Also haven’t had a serious relationship since I got divorced in my early 30s and was feeling stagnant in my career. Things changed for me when I s

Being an introvert does not remove your monkey brain’s need for social connection. Sure, it means being deliberate about when/how/who, but most people leading a solitary life are not happy.

Nope; social life is important. I find that I get overwhelmed and drained with large groups, but doing things with a group small enough to fit in a car together is fine. I personally have some hobbies I enjoy for their own sake, and meeting

Only they weren’t getting caught because the media was censored and nobody knew about it. The people talking about it were dismissed as conspiracy theorists.

In 1990 school kids were pledging our fucking allegiance to an evil empire. Hell no we didn’t have a free society then.

Some of us did. America has never been a free and Democratic society for all, and we’re actually closer to achieving that than ever if you’re not white/straight/upper-middle class, which is why they’re so desperate to push this bi

It’s not censorship when you sign over distribution rights for $100 million and they decide not to distribute content.

> Same to apple. They want to control things they shouldn't have this much control over. I think that’s their right as a platform owner. They have no responsibility to sellers setting up shop in their walled garden. If the App Store

This is not the government and you have no idea what the Stasi system was.

They’re charging the apps for distribution, which is a lot of infrastructure and a lot of human-driven process that doesn’t come for free. There are good platform reasons for not allowing alternate distribution methods. There are no wholesa

Might want to add Square to that list on the JRPG side; they have new IP but it’s all nostalgia bait for their games from the 90s (like re-using the same battle systems, heavily derivative music and character design, etc). They’re also drop

The problem with the current iteration of America is that satire is not obvious. Many things that would previously have been considered satire have actually happened in real life (the four seasons lawn and garden incident could have come di

Not the good ones. There are definitely top-tier voice actors out there who command good salaries. The ones on fivr are for like, recording audio books or radio commercials.

Ehhh that list of game dev costs seems really suspect; Star Citizen is only notable because they released dev costs when everyone else holds them tight to the chest. Personnel counts have ballooned in the era of motion capture and full voic

The Index has plenty of VR titles; there’s a whole VR section in steam with all the standard ones (there really aren’t that many native VR games, maybe a hundred give or take), Half Life: Alyx, Serious Sam VR, etc. My favorite VR experience

That’s actually not my problem with it; my big problem with it is that the whole thing gives me a headache after about 15 minutes. And you can’t use your phone, have something on in the background, etc. Also basically every game was way eas

I have a valve index, one of the best VR headsets available. It sits in my closet and I haven’t touched it in over a year. VR is one of those things that’s really fun to use at your friend’s house, but not something you want to use daily.

Most of the draw was that you could design your own avatar. There were a lot of furries.

AFAIK it’s still pro-atheism. And Ron Paul was basically the only Republican not in bed with the Halliburtons of the world, which was considered progressive in 2008.

I actually don’t feel the discussion on any topic on HN is any higher quality than other sites with a similar age demographic. And yeah, HN is kinda small by internet standards.

In the current polarized era, all discussion online is inherently political. The only way to escape it is in small groups with other people you have mutually agreed not to talk about it with. This is the result of Citizens United; when elec

Huh? I typically associate Reddit with the far left, not the far right.
