About newyorker2

Been on the internet since the 90s. At this point, nothing amazes or rattles me. I've worked for several fortune 500 companies and now consult independently. There's a high chance a comment of mine brought you here, welcome.

Comments reflect my own opinion unless stating facts or asking questions. I never participate in discussions because they increment/decrement a "points" counter in the DB entry associated with my account and always make a point to reply to everyone addressing me unless your comment is in bad taste, in which case I'll ignore you :)

Here are 2 pieces of advice since you're free enough to read random bios of "hacker" "news" profiles:

- Maintain a digital timeout every day.

- Respect the elderly and handicapped and practice gratitude in life.

    I might be a bit biased because my first car was a used M3 e36 back in the 90s. My wife just bought the M5 last year, admittedly one of the best driving experiences in recent years…

    If there's anything Biden will do, is to enable the cause further.

    It is strange that I read every article from the domain *.substack.com with a preliminary conclusion that it was either written directly by GPT-3 or influenced by it.

    You'll notice I stopped engaging with the replies once I recognized there was a texas-sharpshooter being invoked by my subconscious self through the parent comment. If we got a DUI…

    You're absolutely right - especially the second point. With that said, I often find the xenophobia here a bit disturbing, but (and thats a massive but) to say those are "typical Am…
