The CCP is watching this go down with the understanding that if they invade Taiwan the world won’t stop buying their stuff because money matters more than people.

Good point. I encourage you to read up on the personality disorders, they are fascinating.

This is tragic but you need to seek out a doctor for your mental health so you and your family can heal from this. Money won’t help you heal, and if you continue down this path of not seeking emotional closure this company will destroy the

The world is better off without Reddit and similar sources of empty dopamine. There’s a big difference between doing well and feeling good. Someday humanity will look back on the early users of the internet as lives lost to addiction while

I think China is trying to do right by China, while the people are secondary. They are such a different culture than the West it’s hard to see their system from our perspective as anything but totalitarian and abusive, but the idea that the

Rich people don’t want to go to China or India, and I think if you compare the offerings of the West versus these other two countries for just a moment, you’ll understand why. Russia is a classic abuser, the only way out from a relationship

Reminds me of the outcry over micro aggressions in recent memory. Not to say that these things aren’t emotionality harmful, we shouldn’t dismiss people’s feelings or normalize hurtful behavior, but perhaps we should start asking why people

There is something about hypocrisy that has always rubbed me the wrong way. There isn’t much worse than being a traitor to your own cause. Both parties are like this to an extent, but I feel the Republicans are more honest in their motivati

This is baseless fearmongering that has no place on Hacker News. I think everyone needs to start asking why this story is suddenly making the rounds among mainstream media outlets during an election year in the U.S.

It’s an election year. Rather than address why voters are supporting Trump it’s easier to demonize them than reflect on one’s own shortcomings.

It’s interesting that humans have decided to allow violence to be acceptable and commonplace, celebrated even, while sex is the thing that is taboo. Seems backwards, especially when you consider consent.
