I fucking hate this website I'm done. People here love decrying "tyranny" in America and I will either laugh or cry when they their principles come up against the slightest of inco…

What country do you live in? Can you criticize the leader without going to jail? Do union representatives get murdered? Are police there to help you or to extort you? I live in an …

There is no way to have a good faith argument with someone who is advocating not saving lives because we aren’t saving other lives.

> What about drinking and smoking? Literally Whataboutism. Don’t take the irrelevant bait.

My understanding of the issue is that the biggest problems are a few well known defunct satellites in mid altitude orbit. We have no control over them so if two collide we are in b…

I don't think East vs West is a fair generalization of this attitude. In Thailand someone is building an Angkor Wat replica and the Cambodian government is protesting because they …

Al-Qaeda AI...I can't stop doing this find and replace in my head since I learned that Al-Qaeda means The Foundation (or The Base).

Taking MDMA with my girlfriend was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Brought us much closer together. I can imagine it would be a wonderful addition to couple's therapy b…

Me doxing myself in an anonymous forum doesn't make discussion any better if everyone else is anonymous. It just opens me up to real life attacks. Plus, honestly non-anonymous disc…

Same things I'd normally say because I know anonymous posts on the internet are a terrible medium for rational discussion on controversial subjects. I've sworn off arguing anything…

Am I safer if I disable iMessage or can the zero-click hacks exploit the Messages app through SMS?

For any HNers in biochem, how ridiculous was the idea of what they were selling? Blood tests with small amounts of blood doesn't strike me as impossible, but I don't know anything …

Does this mean that iMessage evaluates messages as code for some reason? Why on earth would that be the case? It's a foundational security principle to not do that. And even if the…

I like how Mike Tyson put it: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth".

Is that because Germany had banned property investment or because supply keeps up with demand in Germany?

So investors buy the homes then rent them out? What’s the problem? In some asian markets investors buy homes then sit on them unused for years. That’s a problem.

But 5ghz is an incredibly high clock speed. Is the cpu hampered in other ways?

What exactly does a mainframe mean today? I’ve logged onto multi user computer systems via a thin client before, but I guess the hardware I was connecting to was probably commodity…

Kettlebell workouts at home. 15 minutes with a 12kg kettlebell can be quite a workout with a single piece if equipment in a small space.

Find a job you aren’t emotionally invested in, and find other people and activities to put your emotions into.

I don't know how it was in 1986, but today you have 3 "chords". One in the back is the primary chute and hopefully the only one you need. On the front you have two. One cuts the pr…

I had an interesting experience with this a few years ago when I went through some pretty bad depression and anxiety. My first step of getting better was rejecting the bad feelings…

Have you ever seen a therapist? Talk with a real person about what you're going through. You have a lot of options at your age with that much money. You don't need to feel trapped.…

It seems to me that it's basically like me (a non artist) drawing something I saw and handing it to a good artist and asking them to draw that but better. They aren't drawing what …
