Contemptible. This emphasis on "culture" is fatuous horse excrement. Whenever you hear that word, reach for your resume. It means that a cohort of smug self-satisfied untalented didactic mansplainers is about to institute a policy of competent mediocrity. I used to think that anyone who presumed that the rest of the world was as intellectually limited as themselves was merely mistaken. I was wrong: if they have any power at all, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy as they kick anyone with ability out. The new twitter is a dreary testament to the deceased neurons of the new management. Color me unemployable for saying so.

The new twitter is a dreary testament to the deceased neurons of the new management. This sort of comment doesn't belong on Hacker News. There's nothing here besides insulting Twitter in a way that uses interesting words.

- forensic 15y agoThe expressive language actually makes his point clearer. An inexpressive comment is when someone makes short insults and doesn't explain themselves. He explained himself in detail. Good English communicates the ideas and feelings of the writer, which he did with aplomb! Since he is a primary source for his particular polemic, his rhetoric is a valuable contribution to the discussion.
