The reason people are so upset isn't necessarily because of the environmental impact, it's because the people who work on these trains have been warning things like this could happen for years, and when they tried to strike over i

We live in a country where everything important is owned and controlled by billionaires or hedge funds who also control the government via bribery. Events like this make me think that it's much, much crazier to trust the government to

I'm conflicted on this. Online porn is way to easy to access online, and there's no way it's good for children. And before I get called a puritan, I want to make it clear that I'm not talking about sites like onlyfans or

What an absurd comment. The only purpose? That seems like quite a jump. I read it as a dumb comment pointing out a funny name for the current state of things. Also, is the world really so simple that anything that isn't capitalism is

You forgot to include "the people who are responsible for the train derailment and the people who decided to release the chemicals into the atmosphere told us there is nothing to worry about, so you should believe them."

Why are you talking about reddit though? If everyone there is so wrong, why bring it up on a totally different website? No one here is making those claims, and most of the comments in both of these threads are about the points I mentioned.

Well I haven't been on reddit so I can't say what's being said there, but I would say that the reason people are getting so upset over this is because we don't believe anything meaningful will happen to punish those resp

None really - it was a joke. Claiming that the bush administration was lying about iraq having weapons of mass destruction would have been called a conspiracy theory, yet in time, we learned it was true. I agree with you. I updated my origi

Do you know the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth? Time.

There is another thread about this, and for some reason it's no longer on the front page, despite having lots of upvotes and comments. Are people flagging it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34772687

This is very interesting - did you read this in a book or a blog or something? I’d love to add it to my list.

This is after they bought ten billion dollars of their own stocks last year. It’s unbelievable. They really couldn’t shell out a bit more, at least just for good PR? https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/09/1

Well, I provided an archived link to an ABC article to back up my claim, and you have provided nothing to back up yours. You also rudely implied that I don’t know how to consume news media. Why should I, or anyone else, believe you? edit: a

I guess my comment was a bit of an axe-grind rather than a response to your statement. I saw "paradox of tolerance" and was triggered. To clarify, I find it frustrating when people justify the government making laws that limit or

I'm really tired of the "paradox of intolerance" being brought up, mainly because the people who use it are almost always using it to defend a government making something illegal.

Because when western leaders want to censor information, they claim said information is a "threat to democracy", and everyone just trusts them. (not that it would work - it seems like turkish people actually know how to protest)

It's only a matter of time until it's required by law to be employed, which is pretty fucked up when you remember that health insurance is so closely tied to employment, in america at least.

Bullshit. Police in america are able to exercise discretion, which means they could (and should) have laughed at the order to arrest these parents and not carried it out, or at least just went and talked to them instead. They decided to arr

No I don't. Like I said, just because your manager is like that does not mean that we all are, and it's kind of childish to think that way. You also spelled 'bite' wrong.
