"Don’t tell me they’re made with the Autobahn in mind."
A quote from the inquiry. Other than that the speed limit is not universal, and it's not 'the speed limit' as the limit is context based. There are many a situation where speeding up would help prevent an accident.
- starbugs 3y agoThank you. Just wanted to find out if a little bit of joking is still allowed on HN.
- RagnarD 3y agoAs the percentage of humorless PC drones rises, that's going steadily down.
- bayindirh 3y agoThat's a hit and miss there. Sometimes a humorous bunch makes a mundane thing giggle worthy, sometimes a joke is taken too serious and you get accused of being manipulative. So, YMMV.
- jaystraw 3y agoi see what you did there. and smiled :-)
- orwin 3y ago'joking' is always a bit manipulative anyway (I bet asperger people understand that better than me, I've heard that it's how therapists teach them white lies). I guess the issue is when the joke isn't that funny and perceived as too manipulative, and anybody's threshold is different on both those.
- bayindirh 3y agoI mean, I hate jokes belittling people or throwing them curveballs and hitting their self esteem. As a result, I never make these kinds of jokes. The jokes I labeled manipulative are about something else and built upon double meanings of words, in the context of the subject being discussed.
- mynameisnoone 3y agoAbsolutely verboten. You have the choice of the manner of your excommunication today.
