Jesus HN. From racisim, to flame baiting vegans and a collective holier than thou, fuck the plebs aire, I am about finished.

Your moderation used to keep up, but its just reddit in here now, with slightly better submissions, and a few decent commenters that still occasionally show up to the dump when they see something shiny (their name).

I applaud YCs recent attempts at media, to help raise the bar here on news, but its an uphill battle without ousting the trolls.

Goodnight sweet prince and all that. I may still read you on the shitter, but I feel contributing is more trouble than its worth now. I suspect others may feel the same, but I can obviously only speak for myself.

Well, I didn't expect blatant racisim in HN comments, but there it is. Based on ignorance no less. Can we ban people like this? /serious

I am all for free speech, but excusing murder based on race is where I may have to draw the fucking line. Feel free to post this on a board relevant to your hopefuly unique interests.

There most definately are, although not extremely common. I recall reading a HAYES (pro-fat) article calling for beauty equalization or some rediculious thing. Sure its not common, but to dismiss any extreme you arent aware of does not help the conversation. The amount of impact is highly variable, but one must assume there is some, as many of these blogs have thousands of followers.

And you almost always make your actual life objectively worse in the process. I dated a media junkie, never any fun, always posing, aranging dishes, making 'moments' instead of actual enjoiable memories. She was an amazing person, but the near OCD levels of trying to make life look perfect to the outside just didnt work for me. The most amazing moments in her life, never documented, only a ghost shell online to paint a false memory.

If one dimension is limited compared to others, it makes sense to call it psudeo 3d, because all planes are not fully realized. But it is still clearly invoking a 3rd dimension, maybe a 4th if you consider movement in time.

I still call it just shy of '3D'.

All my meat is raised on open pasture locally, fed only on wild grasses. I specifically said factory farms are a clear problem. Thanks for talking past me and ignoring my point. This is what makes conversing wih you people get on my nerves. Show some intellectual respect and get some in retuen.

I can't agree more. I grew up next to a theater and it was the thing to do. The last decent movie experince I can recall was the film print showing of the hateful eight. I didnt even like the movie itself a whole lot, but the quality, and experince were amazing. I would love to have a movie to get excited about. It all just seems like such low effort drivel now.

That argument just lowers the bar. It can be a shallow movie and also not insult my intelligence and cram product placements into every other shot. Bad filmmaking is bad. Do not make excuses for it.

This so much. The stream of corporations passing the buck into a black hole of irresponsibility needs to end now. If people arent held responsible, they will continue to make these failings without pause. I hope everyone is writing their legislators and congresspeople right now. They listen more than even my disillusioned self thought. The just might have bigger incentives to act otherwise. But if they dont know, they cant even choose to be corrupt or not, they are ignorant by proxy. Communicate to your leaders, and remember their response when you vote.

Can we get an apples to apples price comparison? Most people dont get huge government kickbacks, and have to pay connection fees to the local power company, etc...

I know 3 people with solar, and none are able to use it because of regulations except when completely disconnected from the grid.

I know people in most cities with a similar setup, if often a bit more specific to their hobby. I have a similar setup for old deadbug 'tronics and audio gear. Between making geek friends and hackerspaces, most people in the industrialized world have access to this stuff on a reasonable budget with a bit of effort.

And the Vegan shows up! I kid, but the stereotype really holds true all too often.

The unsaid assumption in your comment, that I disagree with, is that harvesting animals causes anymore suffering than caring for and harvesting plants (in a humane manner, which admittedly, many facotry farms fail at on either side.)

Taking off the tinfoil hat, stripping away his race, and religion, this guy still reads suspicious as hell.

1. Postgrad, with connections around the world, but works airport job. Ramp agent for Delta.

2. Uses new credentials to fly to previously unavailable places immediately.

3. Many mentions of odd behavior, taliored suits, frequent travel to other odd places.

Its a shame he can't know why, but there does seem to be a reason. Assuming there is a security risk to revealing the reason, what would be a better method of limiting disclosure? This seems to be a problem with classification, not skin color or faith.

Did americans kill english? Or did the brits fail to evolve their own? The article is a lot of hand wringing over 'American' becoming the worlds default 'English' without much attention to why. It is global communication, and americans do a whole lot more of it (in the last century).

Wtf. The US military does indeed exist, even to quash internal rebellion. The national guard is the branch that would deal with such a threat. The number of armed citizens alone might suprise you as well. So all in all, I am not sure what you mean. Anyone could 'attack a city in their own interest', but there are quite a few organized parties very invested in resisting that with their lives.

Wow dude, go outside more often. Sure there are less farmers, but they are no less important. That is ignoring the natural resources, and your disagreeable prejudices.
