That's not an explanation, though. Why are the American people so weak to someone so uniquely awful, evil, mentally disabled and morally degenerate? Is it replicable? Can the next gigabastard just not care too, and the Americans wil

Where did I say everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist? You are just attacking a strawman, it's much easier to assume that I am some lunatic who thinks anyone even 1cm to the right of me is literally Hitler, than that I'm ju

Yes, as everyone knows, air pollution is harmless.

No, it isn't. It's an American thing at most and possibly also a false etymology. Its prime usage appears to be for people in HN threads to pat each other on the back for knowing it's "real" spelling.

That's what I thought. Aeroplanes don't fly because of the Bernoulli effect: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/290/what-really-... Apparently. Not that I know either way.

The only country the Americans love and worship more than their own country is Israel. I can understand brain dead nationalism for your own country, but brain dead nationalism for another country, especially one doing the things Israel is

Right, "settler colonialism" is probably the more precise term. Colonialism is too vague. > it's just two native populations fighting over a piece of land - not exactly a new historical concept That doesn't mean it&#

I can certainly see why the Israelis don't want it. I would start with ending the ongoing colonisation of the West Bank and end the war in Gaza before Israel ends up any more of a pariah state than it already is. Colonisation in 2025

The UN partition was an act of violence. Violence leads to violence. It's not even about right or wrong, it's just eminently predictable and blaming the Arabs for not accepting it is just ridiculous. Of course they didn't

No country on Earth and no people on Earth would accept what the UN declared for Palestine and the Palestinians in 1947.

Just with work. Loads of things to do outside of work. I volunteer for example. Feels good.

I read what you wrote, it was just nonsense. What’s sad is you immediately start to lash out and act like a gigantic cunt when it was pointed out how stupid what you wrote was. No wonder you’re on a throwaway account tbh.

There’s nothing wrong with caring about your job and what you do. Just don’t buy into any of the horse shit about missions and so on. The bosses are ruthlessly capitalist so it’s immoral to expect the workers to be any less self intereste

I realise that, but my point is that it’s completely irrelevant how enjoyable they sometimes are to be around. They’re people. It’s trivially in the best interests of the person not to be born with Down’s syndrome if possible.

by twixfel 1y ago
Letting someone have Down’s when it’s avoidable just for the entertainment value is hardly moral.

In the UK for example we don’t go for this performative anti-apostropheism that Americans are so fond of. So it really depends on where you’re from.

The news industry of the future will be Joe Rogan and friends. Arguably it already is. Hard to see how that’s an improvement on what came before.

Word of advice: learn to write and this problem you face won’t happen quite as often.

I didn’t bother to read any of that. Except the last line. I can’t imagine I missed out on anything at all.

Ok so you just decided to randomly explain that cunt is not an offensive word in some cultures and in some contexts to some guy who complained he was called a cunt once and by a Brit. No reason why someone might think your comment was conn

If he’s posting about it on hacker news about how he was called a cunt by him then me thinks they weren’t, and never were, friends. Point is even with context you’re still wrong.

by twixfel 1y ago
I am British and we don’t call each other cunt that much. Among friends with a smile on your face, ok, but otherwise it’s still probably the worst thing you can say to someone short of throwing something racist in as well. And calling a w

But insulting people is also degrading the quality of discussion. More so than just asking “bad” questions.

They do provide official solutions. The problem is the official solution keeps changing.

If the rhetoric is actually true then it’s not just rhetoric and things will escalate regardless based on the facts on the ground. If it’s not true then yes you would have a point, maybe.

If you didn't trust someone, you wouldn't give them all your gold to look after. That's called trust. You can dress it up in terms of realism or whatever, but it's trusting to do it nevertheless.
