There are certainly things Biden can be criticized for but your comment is hyperbole that has little bearing on reality -

most of the major cities here are no longer safe

objectively, nearly every major cities is safer now than at virtually any time in the past 50 or so years.

massive hordes of illegal immigrants

This uptick trend has been noticeable for the last 30 years so I'm not sure how this is attributable to Biden. Additionally, as a percentage, we are still not yet relative to the percentage of population that is an immigrant as compared to the late 1800s. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested...

But yes, I agree, ignoring the reality of all of those things, pretty good!

But yes, I agree, if you ignore reality, you can blame Biden for everything :)

I'm more impressed that only 25.9% have been killed by a moving locomotive ("Watch your step" achievement). Those things are murder-vehicles.

amazon only sells counterfeit books anymore

This statement is (obviously) false as 99.9+% of all books sold on Amazon are authentic. Yes, Amazon should do even more to combat counterfeit everything but inflammatory, false comments are not productive.

Serious question - mind sharing what you enjoy about NMS multiplayer? I tried it recently but the mission goals weren’t shared. So basically, we were playing two “solo” campaigns next to each other and got bored. Is there more to it?

The code should explain what it does. In-line comments should provide explanation for any non-intuitive code that can’t be refactored to an intuitive state. The function comments should be about the intent of the code.

Beyond what others have mentioned about requiring the Chrome extension, I would strongly recommend altering the language in FAQ - "How do I make You.com my default search engine?"

It vaguely references "the monopoly" in ominous tones. This comes across as petulant and distracting. Just focus on the instructions to set it as the default and how to respond to questions that try to change it back.

We must not travel in the same circles. :-)

Of the people I know who have seen a David Lynch movie, I haven’t met anyone who enjoyed them. Speaking for myself, Mulholland Drive is definitely in the running for worst movie I’ve ever seen.

Meanwhile, the liberals are in favor of big business above all else and will gladly vote to bail out companies while their attempts to help working class families is an utter joke.

Your definition of liberal seems very different than the typical definition.

Tree Style Tabs 8 years ago

The minority on HN, maybe. Definitely not to the general public. The general user is almost certainly not using more than 1 tab at any time.

Seattle has some pros but, of the 9 points listed, 4 of them are wrong - #1-3, as mentioned above, are invalidated by the insane water rates in Seattle. #8 is subjective but this is literally the first time I've ever heard someone say Seattle had a great culture. Edit: Also, the weather in Seattle may be "moderate" temperature-wise but it's definitely not for everyone and the majority of folks would just classify it as "dreary".
