You're probably right about /newcomments, but it seems uncannily common recently, even with posts that have nothing to do with politics. As for the article, I would summarize it like so: "I'm drawing a link between mild

I was more referring to ancillary incidents like the GTA V recall with the line about protesting etc, but come on. There has probably never been more comics available for young girls in history. That article reads as half "I took my ki

Can I guess that you are a tech yuppie, whose social circle consists mostly of other tech yuppies? Most people around the world are not tech yuppies in a recession. Try asking a dropout or a convenience store clerk about the sex they'r

As the articles I linked waaaaay at the bottom of this comment section suggest, this is not a uniquely Japanese phenomenon.

I think stegosaurus's idea is that a sufficiently motivated government or billionaire could make that land attractive to urbanites. Cheap rent in high-rises + an art and cultural scene attracted by the low cost of living + planning t

Land cannot be mass produced, but dwellings certainly can be. There is plenty of unused or underutilized land in the US waiting for a high-rise to be plopped on it.

Ever been on a video game emulation forum? A lot of the users come across as about 10 years old. Windows 3.11 may not have the same appeal, but I bet you there are kids learning DOS today to play System Shock.

2600 Pacman sure does suck, but to be fair, that video was recorded on a potato at 14hz, making the flickering ghosts inscrutable instead of just annoying. Here's one that seems to have been recorded at 60hz then downsampled to 30hz wi

If you spend any time browsing the archives/ghost boards or the public ban list, seeing what content gets deleted and what people get banned over, I think you'd change your tune.

It's pretty sad how all it took was time and a thin coat of feminist paint for HN to forget how corrupt and morally bankrupt these clickbait "journalists" are. http://www.realdanlyons.com/blog/2012/0

Members of the anti-GG and social justice crowds have carried out similarly stupid and counterproductive acts of aggression and bullying. They still all deserve a voice and home. SWATing is horrible, but IMHO you should be placing more of t

A guy that has been using 4chan and other anonymous messageboards since he was 12 acts and thinks like a 4chan user. What a shock. I know it's not the same to you, but if you look at the top 15 boards on 8chan, that list includes a boa

That's fair, but then he shouldn't have been surprised when his site started hemorrhaging users who were there entirely for the freedom of speech they enjoyed. 8chan will probably last much longer than 4chan precisely because Fred

Oi, downvoters, can you convey your objections in the form of text? Not because I give the slightest shit about internet points, but because I want to understand what you're thinking.

Porn and sexual norms have been inextricably linked for decades now. One need only consider the once shocking, now common practice of pubic hair removal to understand this. That cat is out of the bag, so to speak. And not all porn is like t

What on earth does that have to do with internet porn? I think you took my mention of societal collapse way too literally, but if you want my serious opinion on that, the real problems afflicting millennials are all directly caused by eco
