This is truly incredible. I made a personal account just to play around with this. More of this kind of thing, seriously.

I'd love to assume this had something to do with government abuses and overreach that YC couldn't condone, but call me cynical, im not holding my breath. Also, I wonder if when asian businesses consider starting up something in th

Having visited museums dedicated to all sorts of artists and authors, Paris shaped the lives of so so so many critical thinkers and producers throughout the last several hundred years. James Baldwin, Picasso, you name it and they probably w

Does this cover the implied subtext? He’s writing about it because a rentier class profits off of that obsession by maintaining an environment that encourages it even when it goes to far and harms the obsessor. That’s what “something that m

It's not so much that there aren't gays in those places its about whether or not someone is in a place in their life where they want to be a "trailblazing gay," ya know? The guy that cuts my hair was in Bend, Oregon in a

I lived in tokyo for a bit and i always wondered if these theme cafes get repeat customers. I enjoyed going to like a Feudal Japan era cafe, but animal cafes aside, i never really had a desire for a repeat visit especially since the lines c

Eh, thats definitely something happening in the west but theme cafe culture has been a big thing in Tokyo for far longer than Instagram has existed. These places don't typically stay around for too many years but they are common places

If you meant to say "assigned gender" you should just say that because otherwise it comes across differently.

by ixtli 7y ago
This is an unsurprising position to hold when you don’t know (or refuse to acknowledge) the difference between gender and sex. Do you think people who transition to a different gender think there’s no difference between the two?

Timely as I’m going to Berlin/Prague/Budapest in four days :) Not so much a counter argument but a different perspective: I live in lower manhattan and have for the past 8 years or so and the only way I ever see it is when tourist

Almost 10 years ago I was living in Japan as a student and I saw a shitload of tourists constantly. Japan has been a major Australian tourist destination ever since flight became common, also the reverse. While it’s true that since it’s mor

We are, at best, making the same leap of faith but in opposite directions. The people who are there observably share a nationality but they also happen to be a pretty small group of ethnicities. You’re choosing to believe that’s not ultimat

I actually can't tell if you're talking about China or the US. This is currently happening on the US' southern border.

1) and that’s a great thing. watch the video and you’ll see it begins with the claim that “no one wants to live in a world where tech companies control what you can say” and ends with “but we should keep doing exactly what we’re doing”. GDP

I actually subjected myself the the entire 30 minute video of his speech and there’s little else I can say other than that it was embarrassing, bordering on disgusting in its western chauvinism. And I don’t just mean castigation of Chinese

Also lets not pretend its just RMS. ESR has been ostracized for his weird comments and behavior as well. The presentation of this as without precedent is really disingenuous.

He created it more then 30 years ago. It has evolved into something much, much greater than himself and so the organization has a very serious responsibility to more stakeholders as well.

every time this issue gets discussed on HN the comments are filled with these weird implications that facebook invented the court of public opinion.

thats observably not the case: countries where the government is unopposed in speech censorship do it pretty well. the only way people can engage in speech banned by the authorities is to do so on platforms run by countries who dont care ab

I certainly hope you haven't. But yes I know what you're talking about: that is certainly a behavior of a certain type of racist I've encountered. I find quite often that people with reactionary beliefs feel that they are per

Thank you. Strange that that article doesn’t at all mention Mencius Moldbug even though that’s clearly where this all inherits from.

This strikes me as wishful thinking possibly born of not having had enough conversations with concerted racists. The ones who are not afraid to tell you what they really believe will do so without the sort of equivocation you get from crypt

I didn't know that as I'm not up on soccer, but I'm not surprised. This is liberal ideology at its most pure, and it leads to a great many of the social problems we have today. Some know taking a moral position will disenfran

I've been doing this a long time but someone making an unironic claim that phrenology supports their argument is a new one, honestly. Other than that this is all over the place. You go back and forth between conflating "genetics&q

Yes, it’s terrible that you’re not allowed to reproduce white nationalist propaganda in public.
