I hope reddit/antiwork don't leak on HN.

We all agree with that, it's just not the right place.

FYI during world war I, armys could laid a track in 2 days during world war II german wehrmacht also build the railways and change gouge in real time

time to real hot war solutions, send nato ships to odessa to unblock the port

is it just impossible to ship grain by train, the same as it is impossible to install android on iphone 13

well, offtop by Russophilis is getting out of hand. Russia was aggresor, in 1994 in Chechnya IIRC 1999 Chechnya, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine 2022. Russian FSB do terrorists attack on their own citizen [1]. Case is simple, goverment is a war crime and was for 28 years. There is a whole generation of young people brainwashed by their parents with roots back to 1800s tsarist propaganda. Russians need to step up and deal with their horrible country past. I, as a polish, kinda has a natural degree in sovietology and Moscow war crimes throughout the ages.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with some incovenciencse. But there are people dying right now.

looking a the current suffering of Ukraine and considering my mental not so good state: I'm just flabbergasted that so many people simply don't care about wellbeing of other humans. I don't know how anyone can enjoy things while people are suffering few hundreds km away.

And yes I also think this way about iraq, yemen, syria and numerous african countries

and as a law student, it's stupid that torrent seeding is considered as releasing something to the internet. It is meant to be penal to be releaser or initial uploader - at least in polish(europe) criminal code, but non-technical judges just go with it, I hate it, but i'm not sure what polish equivalent of polish SCOTUS wrote about it to be honest

as always lobbing by big companys is designed to screw over teenagers and common folk for exaple, got(HBO) in freench amazon 50$ afterdiscount, in polish stores - 250$, how to not pirate when minimal earnings - 750$

I swear this is the worse comment I saw on HN, I'm going very political here:

I'm not native english speaker, but calling fact checkers more damaging to society then: fox news, qanon, american nazism, evangelical believes, mormons, all christianity, school schootings, obama being war criminal for drone bombing iraqis, climate catastrphy and propping up islam regimes in saudi arabia etc, war on public transport by motor-lobby, end of democracy in us

I could go for hours, I smell right wing bullshit from miles, or OP is autistic
