So the post is really click bait and does not tell the whole story?
- Aurornis 1y agoIt’s a calculated appeal by a biased narrator (his wife) who knows how to exploit the anger and sympathies of a community that often doesn’t click links, read documents, or look for facts before passing judgment (Reddit)
- busterarm 1y agoThis is why in some corners of the internet we adhere to the "not your personal army" mantra.
- fkyoureadthedoc 1y ago> "not your personal army" 4chan in 2010? Is this really ever even said anymore?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 1y agoThis may be overly cynical. I suspect that she's getting her biased account from the only person she knows who is technically savvy: her husband. She accepts this uncritically, and that some very large fraction of the spin originates with him. Some stuff (like ignoring that the drug use violates probation) might be hers, but the rest probably isn't.
- nodesocket 1y agoThis is why Reddit has become a cesspool. Looking at some of the Reddit comments: “fascist, thank trump” without doing any bit of research on the story. Reddit harbors anger and frankly dangerous thoughts from the habitually outraged and poorly informed on details.
- Freedom2 1y agoI think that's why I enjoy using HN most of all. People generally dive into the article and don't make judgmental or charged comments, not mention then curious discussion to be found every day.
