It's good and not at all insane that I make $100,000/year for dicking around on a computer every day. Those poors just aren't creating value.

- grzm 10y agoSnide comments like this do nothing to promote constructive discussion. Please post civilly or just don't.
- freshhawk 10y agoThis should be aimed at me just as much then. My comment was more snide if anything. Also, I disagree, irony has its place and one of them is to poke fun at commonly held but profoundly mistaken beliefs that result in widespread suffering. Even if that has a high chance of offending people who don't like smart ass comments chipping away at the pedestal holding up their privilege. I'm sure you meant well, and I'm not attack you. I have noticed that often cutting jokes are considered acceptable here only when they align with certain political beliefs, and I feel it's eminently constructive to politely push back on that, so please take this as my intent.
- grzm 10y agoAgreed. Though to be honest the political alignment doesn't matter to me so much. I see so much acrimony on both sides which I've tried to push back against in general. I'm sure I unconsciously push back on one side more than another, but I have tried to be even handed and civil (as you have, and I thank you for that) when I do so.
- bertiewhykovich 10y agoI very much disagree that they do nothing to promote constructive discussion. They put a fine point on the absurdities of the position mocked -- hardly unconstructive.
