This is the biggest issue with this list in my opinion. We are teaching kids to be offended by things they wouldn't think twice about.

Well, you'd better hope the "real social justice proponents" start rejecting it loudly and publicly because otherwise more institutions are going to follow suit. The problem here is that you and anyone who disagrees with this

I have nothing to add except for my somewhat amusing personal anecdote that this post was right above the post about "forever chemicals" when I clicked it. "Perpetual broths" would make a funny satire of "organic&qu

Sure, but why do you have to speculate on all this stuff instead of commenting on the actual story? It seems like you’re deflecting. Why is it so forbidden to think democrats did something wrong?

I really doubt he himself created any of it - he was surrounded by shady people the whole time. His own mom started an explicitly secretive superpac. He's the lovable rascal we're all supposed to believe was just too sleepy from p

What gets me is that if this guy was gay, if he got out of the car and said "I race cars, play golf and fondle big-dicked men", it would be celebrated.

That's a lot of things they still need to change - what are the good things about it? I use windows 10 at home and it's fine, but it feels like it's slowly becoming 11 without asking me. There's an ad on my lock screen n

> he thought Reporters would like him better He thought right. If there’s one takeaway from this whole debacle, I hope people realize that the mainstream media is inherently dishonest and there’s no reason to trust them by default.

But how can we do better? At the end of the day, dieting is just hard. Unhealthy food is delicious, and choosing healthier options and eating less in general requires a good bit of willpower. But I don't see what else can be done. Ulti

Is it tough to feel sympathy for the ordinary bahamiams who had nothing to do with this who are going to suffer the actual consequences of all this? As for the government, I see two possibilities: either they were paid off, or they were sca

So this isn’t really a big story yet, is it? I’m staying at my parents’ house for thanksgiving and when I asked them about it they both had no idea what I was talking about. My mom faintly remembered something about some crypto guy or somet

Cops in america already shoot way too many people. Do you think giving them the ability to do that from a remote location is going to help?

Easy with the conspiracy theories! As we all know, every three letter agency is 100% good. All the bad stuff is behind them and they'll never do any of it ever again. They told us so; don't you trust them?

I am not being partisan, I am just trying to point out that there is a democratic superpac involved in all of this, and I don't see it being talked about much. I'd like to see everyone involved be investigated thoroughly. I will a

Ok great! If they're implicated in this, then by all means, let's go after them. I just can't help but notice a pattern of left-leaning media outlets going really easy on this whole thing because a lot of democrats are imp

Did you also know that his mother founded a democratic superpac that prides itself on being secretive? It seems like this is a really important detail that everyone is overlooking/ignoring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I have completely lost any sense of trust in major media institutions after this. Seemingly every outlet accepted a ton of money from this guy, and in turn wrote very favorable articles about him. To me, there are two possibilities. Either

Dude it is plainly obvious that the government isn’t making a big stink of it because a ton of people in the government benefited from FTX’s political donations, and a real investigation will expose that. That is why the donations are impor

Why is filing the lawsuit bad? Isn’t that exactly what should happen here? Don’t you ever roll your eyes when you see a headline with “Soros-funded group does X” in it?

Funny how the post without “Koch-funded” in the headline had such a different discussion when it was posted here last year. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27558500 edit: I think it’s also worth pointing out that they
