this kid really embodies the american spirit: rich white boy doing whatever the fuck he wants without the slightest concern for who he might hurt or kill in the process, all in the delusional pursuit of a meaningless status symbol he has been conned into thinking he can get because of the cultish adherence to the belief it’s the land of equal opportunity despite any and all evidence to the contrary, all while trumpeting about how great he is to anyone who will listen
- defen 6y agoSo, the kid isn't actually white, which makes me wonder if that changes your perspective on things? https://kutv.com/news/local/5-year-old-recounts-being-stopped-by-utah-trooper-after-driving-family-car-on-freeway https://kutv.com/news/local/5-year-old-recounts-being-stoppe...
- ZenPsycho 6y agoDon't ask me, ask Paul Graham if he's white enough to be a startup founder. Seems to be a sliding scale in the USA. Very situational.
- ZenPsycho 6y agoOkay okay, to be fair on Paul, he did pretend to apologise for those remarks.
- someperson 6y agoOut of the loop here. Context?

- Aeolun 6y ago> boy doing whatever the fuck he wants without the slightest concern for who he might hurt or kill in the process Honestly, as far as children doing stupid shit like this goes, that describes pretty much all children. It’s not like the thought he might hurt someone ever even entered his mind.
- ZenPsycho 6y agoForgivable for a child, perhaps. but not for a president, or a ceo, or startup founder.

- ZenPsycho 6y agoif there were a way to delete all my posts and my account I would do that. the hacker news community has become thoroughly disappointing to me and I retroactively want all my contributions withdrawn. i want nothing to do with it.
