I just wish I had someone to talk to. This year, like last year, and the year before, and the year before… I spend it alone, hating myself for being the unlovable mass of fat and depression that I am. It’s just be nice if one night a year I

It seems that to be included in the billionaire tech bro club you must adhere to a certain right-wing worldview. Or, if you are more Marxist in bent, that the accumulation of capital naturally and inevitably leads to the internalization of

As things are in much of the world now, in other words. GDP is a terrible measure of “success”, and yet remains the primary indicator used by the international community to judge that very thing.

That’s no different from any nation, though.

Donald Trump did exactly the opposite of your advice at every turn, yet remains free and unindicted. SBF’s main mistake seems to have been not cultivating political clout before committing fraud, not anything related to what he said or did.

There are more expensive cars out there than even your top-of-the-line model. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make.

Given the critical urgency of climate change, there is no situation where burning oil is the ideal choice.

I also own a Tesla. Over the 6 years I have owned it my automotive costs have decreased by some 80% compared to the ICE vehicles I owned prior. Significantly, the “no oil changes/no weekly fill up” costs immediately saved me around $28

I do not have mileage anxiety. The 300m range is way more than I usually need, and right at the edge of how far you want to drive without stopping to rest. Also, regenerative braking means you get a lot of power back when you go down the ot

No catalytic converter theft, no gas gouging, no oil changes. I read things like this and is just makes me hope more people get on board. In the meantime, I’ll be sticking with my Tesla, thanks.

Which will likely involve not raising animals for slaughter at all, but rather things like Impossible/Beyond meats.

Porn is legal, but the credit card companies kicked out PornHub anyway. Not that they have ever been warm to any businesses that involve sexuality.

> The Facebook app gets around Apple privacy rules by opening web links in an in-app browser, rather than the user’s default browser, according to Wednesday’s complaint. TikTok does the exact same thing.

I think the idea of codifying the repair of the environment as a foundational legal concept to be an interesting one, and one arguably necessary to successfully combat the problem. Treaties tend to codify shared values between states; since

I would argue too successfully. There are fundamental changes that could and should be made to the Constitution, especially in regards to climate change and information warfare.

I have social anxiety because of a lifetime of psychological and physical abuse from everyone I have ever considered “family”, with only two exceptions. It has nothing to do with “outside”, and your idiotic hot take discounts the lives and

Echoing the sibling to this, this is not a viewpoint I have seen expressed before. Do you have a link?

To echo the sibling comments, this is incorrect. NeXT lives on today in every Mac, iPhone, iPad, and every other Apple device. When Apple bought NeXT they used it as a foundation for OS X, which went on to power every device Apple makes or

And are you not upset because of psychopathic tendencies? You certainly seem to be disdainful when someone expresses empathy. I’m upset about climate change because it personally affects me, but I’m also upset about armed agents of the stat

My take on the Platonic ideal HN user: Tech-savvy NPR liberals: deeply capitalist, socially liberal, who consider expressions of emotion profoundly offensive. This is particularly true of anger, with empathy being a close second. Humor is a

I live my life similarly to yours. Then I read stories about how celebrities are using private jets to make 15 minute runs to the next town over. Or how the Saudi family continues to, you know, exist. This is why I am pessimistic about huma

We will not survive if we wait to convince the unconvincable. We must take actions that will anger some. When it comes to climate change, the use of force is vitally necessary and wholly justified.

For many years now I have had a rule to downvote on sight any post that complains about something being “overrated”. 99% of the time it’s a cheap criticism, insubstantial and impossible to rebut. “Formulaic” feel like it lives in a similar

Libertarian and capitalist propaganda. The answer is always a variation of “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it/let the market decide.” Even if the “market” heads towards apocalypse.
