Hey, if your argument is that somebody has to build weapons, then that's your argument. I don't believe that's the situation and building weapons only encourages other countries to…

Starting a weapon company is different from owning a gun. You have control over that gun. Your weapons company, those weapons will be used to kill innocent people, there is no doub…

I live in a US city. I have a nature area, gym, pharmacy, grocery store, numerous restaurants, bar, and a bunch of other amenities you just listed. I live basically on the rail lin…

What's the point of being this rude? People are doing things like this, you just have to look around YouTube. This is what I don't like about the anti stance, it's just so often di…

How are they not in good faith?

I mean sounds like it's a your problem if you are saying that certain tools, no matter how they are used or the effort put into using them can't qualify as art. You're right, I don…

Yeah I just don't think there is anything special about "art" and I don't think there is some specific definition for what art is. People create that's art. You can put different a…

Please, elaborate.

Somebody still has to prompt it, there is a creative task. Somebody still has to curate it, that too is a creative task. I was comparing this to when photography first came onto th…

Writing a blog post is a creative effort, selecting a few pieces (generated or not) is creative, too, whether it is up to your standards are not. The gatekeeping on this is crazy. …

I don't think it signifies any of those things. This is all new stuff. Some people have decided to offload image-creation to machines because what they care about is the text. This…

They're creating for you. They don't owe you anything, they presumably don't have the same feelings about using generated content as you do.

Is posting on HN really that much of a superior way to spend precious time on earth? That's why I don't take this too seriously, at the end of the day you're complaining about time…

Yes, I avoided using it for the longest but the voices that end up pushing me away these days are the antis who gatekeep like crazy, say other people are lazy, decry anything they …

There still are 2 halves. Framing it as quarters is the entire thing. There are numerous things throughout a game which will cause the game to be paused just as long, which is why …

Sports people (I was listening to Bill Simmons) rated it pretty highly. There was nothing egregious and it was widely attended.

We're really going to act like the entire world doesn't have issues with this. Given this is a worldwide institution dealing with this, I think you are both casting the new too sma…

Sure, but they aren't leaving the field. There are plenty of stoppages in game already which take as much time. In that sense it's nothing new. Do non-fans view it as changing to 4…

It's still two halves there is just another short stoppage time in which players stay on the field, the same as every foul, goal, and variety of other timing based decisions in foo…

How does it violate the laws of the game? Every single break time decision in football is arbitrary already.

The original post mentioned people that weren't fans, though. Who are we talking about that are "football people" but not fans. I'm not trying to be dense, I just don't know which …

I'm not arguing for ad breaks, I'm saying non-fans would not even be aware this is something new. This is the thing that is too much? I just don't get it. The entire thing is a spe…
