Looking forward to see the next non-Trump administration (not that there will be one while he's alive) send him to an Iranian prison due to an "Administrative Error" due to forgetting his "protected status".

In the US, you can fly multiple planes into skyscrapers, rape three whole kindergartens, and lynch an entire race to extermination. As long as you then win the next election before you get convicted, you're in the clear. This is the Un

That's the thing, every freely available source about any remotely popular product may as well be entirely astroturfed, or pure SEO listicle slop. The good sources aren't openly available, they're private. The average ranking

Reddit doesn't give a single shit about violence. For the first time in decades, Luigi put a tiny bit of fear of god in the hearts of those in power, and they will have brought this up repeatedly in their exec group chats. With current

Numerous is greatly overstated. 1) only matters if you're a very high value target who is being manually target. Doesn't apply to 99.999% of people, who only need to worry about credential stuffing and brute force. 2) Similarly, i

Yup, they're permaflagged and HN knowingly lets them go by even though they could do differently. Case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43208973 . Seems exceedingly likely that this one too would've g

Huh? The graph in your link shows that AfD is indeed most popular among the parents of the average Reddit user - HN skews slightly older, but still. Scoring highest among 35-44, and in general pretty similar, showing a pretty normal distrib

Spot on, 727 comments, most probably by Americans, and only 2 (including yours) bringing up the CLOUD Act, the much worse US equivalent. Incredible ignorance.
