- tubularhells 6y agoThis place is a drop in replacement for r/asd.
- aspyct 6y agoYeah uhm... Never been to /r/asd, and now I'm slightly afraid of checking it out, seeing as two comments have been deleted :D
- napier 6y agoSome people’s insecurities make them allergic to (admittedly tenuous) attempts at humor in face of absurdities and so they downvote as if they’re on Reddit.
- tubularhells 6y agoLook at the way people communicate here, how little empathy they show, the complete sense of humour, how anal they can be about not about the big picture that the other person is arguing for but, say, choice of words, someone's formulation of a sentence, use of the oxford comma, whatever really. Then tell me if this site is not the largest community for autistic software developers, diagnosed or not. This is in no way meant as an offence to anyone. Signed: someone also on the spectrum.
- napier 6y agoHear, hear!
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoLook at the way people communicate here, how little empathy they show, the complete sense of humour, how anal they can be about not about the big picture that the other person is arguing for but, say, choice of words, someone's formulation of a sentence, use of the oxford comma, whatever really. There are too many commas in your sentence :)
- awssucs 6y agonah this is not reddit the quality here is lower
- jtms 6y agoBONK! No humor or fun allowed! Go to HN jail!
- OnlyMortal 6y agoMate! It’s closed as we’re in tier 3.
- BryanBeshore 6y agoI love their chips
- patrickthebold 6y agoIf you read the science, it's much more likely that the vaccine is simply ineffective than would cause any kind of zombie apocalypse.
- jonplackett 6y agoany kind So not even a mild case of the zombs?
- dane-pgp 6y agoPresumably they meant the non-human kind: https://metro.co.uk/2020/11/25/zombie-mink-rise-from-grave-after-millions-culled-across-denmark-13653032/ https://metro.co.uk/2020/11/25/zombie-mink-rise-from-grave-a...
- djsumdog 6y agoWith this type of accelerated testing, it's much more likely we'll see a small percentage of permanent neurological issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bOHYZhL0WQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bOHYZhL0WQ
- Diederich 6y ago> small percentage If I carried the decimal correctly, 5 thousand out of 58 million is less than 1% of 1%.
- djsumdog 6y agoI'm sure that will make those 5,000 who have trouble walking or smiling feel so much better.
- rootusrootus 6y agoIs that not true of all medicines? There is a net benefit calculation to be made.
- lavezzi 6y agoNot sure we can boast that if it takes the same amount of time to deal with incoming passengers from abroad who were carrying COVID.
- nfg 6y agoThe UK is not an island.

- locusofself 6y agoGreat Britain is an island, as are a few other islands that are part of the UK.
- nathankunicki 6y agoThe United Kingdom is made up of the island of Great Britain and a part of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland). It also includes many other smaller islands You're probably thinking of Great Britain by itself, which is the island containing the main parts of the countries of Scotland, England, and Wales.
- teeray 6y agoSo the UK is an archipelago?
- nfg 6y agoNo, I don’t think you can fairly say a country is an archipelago unless it’s solely composed of islands all of which are entirely the territory of that state.
- alexchamberlain 6y agoTo continue the pedantry, the archipelago is called The British Isles.
- lumberingjack 6y agoGreat with comments like this the site is now basically worthless reddit
- annadane 6y agoI'm 99% certain the person you're replying to is kidding. I thought it was funny
- elif 6y agoThat's his point. A decade ago, the comments on this site were 99% relevent, solid technical feedback and analysis. The top post being layperson speculation with a joke response topping it bears a much stronger resemblance to reddit than to hn's origin.
- OnlyMortal 6y agoDo you remember Slashdot? Maybe Ars Technica, before it sold out?
- teh_infallible 6y agoArs Technica was great before it became an online shopping catalog
- dragonwriter 6y agoFrom the Guidelines: > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.
- Apofis 6y agoThere's even a documentary titled '28 Days Later'.
