Comments are so cringe there.
- junon 5y agoI find the armchair generalists here on HN pretty cringe, too. Different era, same nonsense. The comments there are pretty typical of the time, as I remember it.
- artiszt 5y agobut the commenting serves it purpose, one does hope even more so does what some assume to be 'voting' [like/dislike] not sure how to measure tho how many shooting massacres it prevents. former mentor of our at Lond Inst of Psychiatry certainly would have designed a field study of it, if he'd been introduced to the nets, social nets in particular
- goldcd 5y agoI'm intrigued who James is - as he wrote half of them "Apple sucks !! ZEN Is where it’s at !" I feel sad for James in 2021
- mcphage 5y agoJudging by their comments, it almost looks like that’s the default name on the site.
- LocalH 5y agoI think you're right. "um. I’ve never been to this website or posted as a “james” before so why does it say “Welcome back james (Change)” seeing as I never have logged in, in the first place?????/" "i wasn’t going to comment, but someone elses details we’re already in the fields, as my name is not james… this does seem to be quite defiante evidence of the rumors i have seen floating about… this is will get a digg"
- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoIt’s useful to have the comments recorded. Looking back now, apparently we find the mindset of the average person hard to imagine. If they didn’t write their thoughts down, our narratives about the past public consciousness would be completely replaced by whatever seems obvious in hindsight.
