Nope. Just one side is problematic. The other has a monopoly on wisdom and justice. Go team!

So much "news" today is opinion masquerading as fact. While news media companies often do get the facts wrong, even when the facts are right, those facts are heavily colored by commentary and slant, often leaving out other facts t

I suspect the risk aversion has to do with social anxiety that accompanies the tendencies to exist more and more in virtual worlds. Instead of physically going out to interact with people, you can do it online. Instead of going on a physica

This is a straw man. Saying that the burden is on parents to ensure a child's safety doesn't mean a child molester is free from blame. You've taken his point and pushed it to the extreme.

I wonder if these adult sites could host a ton of non-adult content in order to get below the 30% mark. There used to be a similar law in (I think it was) NYC stores. To combat this, adult bookstores would stock tons of non-porn titles whic

I would guarantee that most of the people who come to Hacker News haven't ever posted an amazing hack here. It doesn't mean we can't appreciate one.

Am I the only one who finds the term 'sportspeople' weird and awkward? Why not call them athletes?

You don't even need a seed box. You can use a debrid service, like realdebrid or alldebrid to upload the magnet, then download from their site. Costs about $3 per month and you won't get a nastygram from your cable company.

The same has been said of New York City, and is true to some extent. If you don't have a lot of money, it's not a very comfortable place to live.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that someone else, such as a family member, used his computer or it was compromised.

I feel like the central tenet of wokeism, or at least its defining attribute separating it from liberalism, is a belief that differences between groups are 100% attributable to oppression. I used to be extremely liberal for years. Then one

The Democrats have been cozying up with the "deep state" more than Republicans in the last decade. Look at the origin of the Russiagate hoax and all that followed.

> Most Israelis don't want that Because it would mean the end of a Jewish state. Combine Israel and Palestine and you get roughly 50% Jews, 50% Arabs. (5.3M Arabs in Palestine, 7.1M Jews in Israel and 2M Arabs in Israel).

Right, I'm not saying that they don't break the law. They do. But technically, their role is not to break the law. There ostensibly is oversight but it obviously doesn't work well enough.
