This helped me a great deal with people. That is, I kept falling in love with "narcissists" (probably not fully fledged, but bad enough) and then cried about how they treated me, tried to show them how wrong they are, and all that

The real leaders in a war of aggression are those who don't show up or fight on the other side. "Leadership" and "excellence" and all that wank is really just that, wank. It's a compensation price for those who

It's not about moral outrage, heh. I guess the US is really a child when it comes to this, once the continent was laid to waste we probably can see eye to eye on this much better. Until then, did you deal with real Nazis before? I di

You can have hundreds of years, if all you have is a piece of paper and 100m³ block of concrete, you still do not have enough time.

Then why are they "tired" of such comments? Has anyone here ever actually been near a group of, say, more than two actual nazi skinheads? Would you discuss their ideas in their basement? I'm not for censorship either, but I k

No, it's not. Plus the person who wrote the blog post isn't the person who posted it to HN.

What discussion? Like, you would have responded, but now you can't? That's just more of the same.

Why are you not dealing with the response? The very fact that this story got flagged to page two after 5 hours, with 600+ points and only 300+ comments, kind of shows what's going on.

When they run around with torches and swastikas, they're Nazis. What's the problem? When someone steals your car, are you also hesitant to call them a thief because "people have been called thieves for bad reasons before&quot

I ask how this weren't bad and silly changes. When we can't even discuss why we are doing what, why not get rid of version numbers, too?

Do you mistake yourself for someone who can give me orders? "Full stop" is code for you not having the honesty nor courtesy to just say "thanks for the correction". Your comment stands corrected, you're welcome.

It's not about the fact that something changed, but what changed. Full text to summary is quite the change to do based on -- who knows what? What progress, what advancement do you see here? And changing the default number of items fr
