I've been using it for well over 10 years now. Sometimes I want to spend money on things that I think are morally right, but the credit card companies/paypal won't let me buy. You …

I don't know buddy... Might be worth it to invest some time into anxiety/stress management. Meditation, keep an eye on your sleep, exercise, maybe go talk to someone. You're not su…

Yeah, that sounds cool and all, but somehow I ended up with a job that pays over $100K a year, that makes me work for about 3 hours a week from home and has been paying me for year…

Check the front page of downdetector, there's a lot more that's down I think including origin, it all spikes up at the same time. Either an backbone issues, AWS or something like t…

Just odd. Why would you change a definition in the middle of an existing chart... Just call it M1a or M11 and add a new chart. Curious what is really going on that I'm not supposed…

>All of this funny stuff is mostly people trying everything they can to get capital gains instead of income so they can pay a 25% tax rate instead of a 39% tax rate. When you're ta…

Ugly. So it's just a "protection fee" in a sense. Wouldn't surprise me if that's true. You just won't find it written down anywhere.

It took me about 10 years to really understand the enormous differences between my native culture and my current culture. And those differences are staggering. And they are both we…

Kind of makes sense. People probably didn't all of a sudden become more dishonest. Thanks.

>but it was in the past two decades and got particularly ridiculous beginning around "28nm" up to now. I wonder if that is some kind of cultural shift that is taking place that sta…

No more Facebook for her.

Comes down to your definition of advertisement. It's not without self interest. But that was kind of my point. So I'd say you and I are on the same page, I just used a different wa…

>Reddit-like software is open source, what's stopping anyone like you then? Talk is cheap. That source code hasn't been updated in years. >There are job ads on HN, plus HN is even …

"Approaches free" does not mean "free" in this context and that HN derives that value in other ways than advertisement was the point I was making.

Just so you know... Here you can't say that slang word for cigarette either. Because that comment where you said it to me is "dead" and doesn't allow me to reply to you. If that's …

Computation, bandwidth and (open source) software is so cheap these days that it approaches free for many people (but not all). It's just a matter of coming up with a functioning m…

I don't really need to find myself, you know. I know where I am. The problem is more that others can't find me and don't even know that I'm missing. Maybe you're right about the re…

Oh yeah. Accounts have NSFW tags these days. Also impacts chat functionality. You'll get warnings there. They call it "profile" but your profile is 100% of your account activity. h…

>I think a factor we all underestimate is Elizabeth herself has this super creepy presence in nearly every photo and video where she makes an appearance -- something just seems "of…

I'm being censored on Reddit myself. I'm not really sure why exactly. I suspect it has to do with having a NSFW tag on my account (that I didn't put there) that I'm afraid to turn …

It's just a never ending disaster once you go down that path. Because now people have to "select" their community somehow. If that existed, I'd refuse to be part of whatever commun…

There is a counter movement, for example, these guys place a significant role (and as far as I know primarily with a practical focus): https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/
