Hey, the admins are being biased in my thread. They allowed a user to hijack the thread accusing me of being a liar. The thread has lost all of the original context and chocked the thread. They've also been extremely biased in the number of supportive comments they've deleted as well as allowing comments that are personal attacks and name calling in violation of HackerNews rules claiming "fairness." Please support me…

If you keep posting about this in unrelated threads, where it's off topic, we're going to have to ban your account. I don't want to do that, and I'm sorry that my attempts to help have failed to meet your concerns, but it isn't helping to spread this to other threads, so please stop now.

You are not applying the rules fairly and are allowing defamatory commentary that is damaging to victims of sexual assault. I won't post any further, but please remove the thread before I am forced to take legal action.

Speaking of posting off topic comments in unrelated threads, I've been extremely curious about your ongoing arc-to-common-lisp work. Is there an appropriate place to ask about it? You so rarely talk about arc, but it's one of the most interesting aspects of your work.

(If questions like these are unwelcome, I can stop.)

@Dang you haven’t even protected my identity like you promised.

Why do you have such a bent against victims of sexual assault and domestic violence?

Out of the box suggestion: I moved to Taipei. There’s no COVID here so besides the 2-3 month lockdown last year I’ve been able to go to many in-person meetups like normal. Virtual is _fine_ but for my personality meeting in person is still my preferred way by far. I can’t recommend moving here enough to anyone who needs a place to live a normal life and wait out COVID.

Is it possible to live on English?

It's _possible_, especially in Taipei, but you'll want to take some classes before you go. I have non-Taiwanese friends who never learned Chinese, but they all regret it.

I find language learning fun though so it's definitely a feature, not a bug, for me personally.

It's Taiwan. Still the lowest COVID rate and from early on. Still one of the last democracies that aren't corrupted.

Yeah, my question was why . What is so different about it?

To my understanding SARS hit Taiwan REALLY hard, so they've been extra extra careful about COVID ever since it was discovered.
