Well said. A few days ago I made a response to a comment in a thread, where I laid out a list of some aspects of American Culture [1]. And, 2 of the BIG ones in the Beliefs category were, "fundamental distrust in government and a share

Well, with that in mind, have you noticed the problems you speak about going down in life? Was I right about the core of what a social problem is - and how it can be fixed? You're 100% correct to talk about your criticisms still, but y

At that point why not just go to state-controlled capitalism? That way of life was MUCH closer to competing socio-economic theories to capitalism - than capitalism itself. I saw Sanders' Rogan podcast, I heard his plea - it doesn'

Of course, this won't be popular on the HN crowd, but I'll say it anyway: What we need is securities tax. Absolutely any conversion, collateral, or divestiture of securities need to be taxed at the rate of those securities at that

Great! The fun thing about social problems is that you, yourself, can make routines and picky-preferences in life to avoid most of them for yourself! You could start today by taking away HackerNews from your routine - as well as other platf

I also implore you to research everything on that list and its origin or credit for widespread use, starting with the one you critiqued: "The ice cream float was invented by Robert M. Green in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1874 during

Cheers for admitting your ignorance and willing to expand on it, and showing you haven't been a member of the national identity (which is THE ONLY ONE in the world where most of its members believe ANYONE can assimilate to, regardless

Let me preface this by first saying your reply is "No" to a comment that stated the courts just ruled the President as a King. You followed that by saying they just decided no federal judge is King (not what OP said), and you supp

Who said dual citizenship is on the table for most of the folks affected by these proceedings? For many people, this WILL be home. Why will some H1B visa kid give a shit about Iran, Venezuela or Mexico when one of his parents are from any o

Peter Thiel's 20-year pursuit of ensuring technology companies, and their accompanied data, are used as a highly-efficient machine for surveillance - and plutocratic-endorsed authoritarianism - is almost actualized. I guess creating an

why not just go to /pol/ at this point with a comment like that?

Solid comment. The more I read into these geopolitical pretexts, the more I think the U.S. government didn't orchestrate 9/11 - but that they allowed it to happen.

It is in Google Gemini, which I really hate to say - but I've been using a lot more than GPT. I reckon I'll be cancelling my Pro if Gemini stays with this lead for my everyday workflows.

Thank you for laying it out so plainly. The “let’s gather every perspective” line only works when the people doing the gathering aren't patting survivors on the head. Walking the sun‑lit nave doesn’t qualify anyone to lecture the folks
