>We are a society whose culture has become unmoored from the values that built it. What society are you referring to? And what values? I’m trying to gauge if you’ve looked in a history book ever.

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I rather like this look and design. I always keep my phone in a case because I’m a coward but I would not want to hide this.

> sunscreens are just ZnO and/or TiO2 Those are mineral based sunscreens. Most popular sunscreens (including most from the study) in the US have neither. Usually it’s only the super-reef-safe and baby targeted ones that do.

No, after four straight years of complaining about grocery store prices, they stopped caring about them some time between November 05, 2024 and January 20, 2025. Since then, a higher price apparently means “Great”-ness.

I am the richest person in the world! I’m objectively not, but I claim to be. I trust nothing coming out of a federal level government agency under this administration. They have proven time and time again to lie and then double down when w

And I’m sure some HN users are autistic or have other traits that make them unable to appreciate a joke.

But only for the person writing it. And only for some amount of time. Other than that, clean code that is easy to read and understand is way more important.

So just to be clear: there is some undetermined optimal number, but so far no place has determined it and no place gone on the other side of it such that the ultra-wealthy left any particular area of note, causing a decrease in tax revenue.

Actually, that’s what called an evidence-based conclusion. I know evidence and science have really taken a plunge in our federal government these past few months, but we can still use them on HN.

This argument has been made time and time again. It seems reasonable at first glance, but I’ve seen no proof of it. California, usually mentioned as having high taxes, still has a large percentage of the ultra-wealthy in the USA. Same with

It is certainly odd that you have to resort to “get a life” statements in your argument here. Why do you feel the need to control what other people do? Should we all spend our time trying to accumulate 22k Karma on some forum?

You don’t need to. The gas retailers have already chosen the options for you. You actually need fewer options, as you have better things to do with your time.

>but in most cases you have too many other things to do and a simple set of options lets you get on with life. What a weird thing to say to someone else.

Yes! This administration, once again, adds more government control into the lives of every day Americans by restricting free trade. A win for the United Socialist States of America! I do hope it continues to take an equity stake in local co

>Maybe the US intervenes, maybe not. There is a 0.00% chance that the US does not intervene. That’s why we have a small presence there and a large presence in Japan. And that’s why China has not yet taken Taiwan.

Small suggestion: It might be best to avoid responding to these “trolls” because some of us who appreciate the work you do might be put off by your off-hand attempting-witty responses. It doesn’t really help you and can only hurt you to res
