Can we please calm some of these wild theories about election sabatoge please? It seems unbelievably unlikely to me that there is not a more obvious reason why mail sorting machines are being removed. Just some thoughts that seem much more

This all feels so off to me. Why would the pentagon just openly admit that they have no idea what this is? If it was a foreign military's advanced aircraft, this is them admitting that, yep, your stealth/whatever technology works

Why is everybody in here being such an asshole to this company? Has the HN culture seriously changed this much? Is the lockdown just pickling everybody's minds? They're trying something. If you don't like it, give construc

Okay a serious question for the people who saw this news and thought it was a bad thing: what do you think should happen? Everybody HAS to have antibodies for this eventually. There is no way around that at this point. If Florida truly has

Maybe your model for the state of humanity is being manipulated by people who stand to make a profit by making you feel this way.

I just looked at all of the sites around my city of Phoenix. I'm not sure what sort of double speak definition of "hyperpartisan" they are using here is. If anything this seems refreshingly matter-of-fact, and it's pro
