While you might think it's cute to talk about a little girl named Miju and her parents dying from gas, poison water or heat exhaustion, the baby maybe dying of exposure crying to death. The rest of us don't. This is the real world. Not your dungeons and dragons. Poison gas mines and mystical algae or lightning strikes. We can talk like adults about real people and real problems and real tragedy and not just give out suicide hotlines like it matters. Or don't discuss this at all. In which case why are you here?

  We've warned you so many times not to post flamewar comments to HN that this is easily a bannable offense. I'm not going to ban you for this one right now because the GP was also a provocation, but we need you to fix this properly if you want to keep commenting here. This is totally unacceptable, and enough is enough. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938697 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938697 (July 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26906491 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26906491 (April 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26232972 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26232972 (Feb 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25146549 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25146549 (Nov 2020) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15692343 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15692343 (Nov 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15442748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15442748 (Oct 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15133287 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15133287 (Aug 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069196 (April 2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11977454 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11977454 (June 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11156918 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11156918 (Feb 2016) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6074465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6074465 (July 2013) Edit: actually, your recent comments have been so bad for HN that I'm going to ban you after all.
