4. Just do your job and don’t listen to screeching harpies in the HN comments

Iran has claimed to have sunk the USS Abraham Lincoln 5 days in a row. they have claimed to have killed 700 US Service members.

Why would I believe anything they say about this school is true?

If you live in CA this is because they have a law requiring this.

Of course, it was all just a coincidence

Thats okay, they can just build their own network, hosting, payment processor, and app store. Totally not censorship.

Pretty interesting how the ACLU becomes an enemy when they go after the employers of a sizable chunk of the users on this website.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This is absolutely the case. We’ve replaced evangelical christians with social justice mobs.

I had basically this exact experience with GIMP, truly life-changing software for me.

I feel like hardware problems on Macs are overblown, especially compared to the alternatives.

I also don’t understand the idea that MacOS has been regressing, it seems like a weird hivemind take around here lately.

You're being downvoted, but I agree. In the information age public school teaching is a glorified jobs program.

TLJ is an objectively bad movie, politics and nostalgia aside. It’s absolutely littered with plot problems.

What the fuck are you talking about? Have you looked at the markets recently? What recession?

I’m a millennial and i don’t feel like I was affected by the recession in the slightest. No millennial is locked into self employment, unemployment is at like 4.5%, the job market is doing fantastic. All this doom and gloom and “poor me” is fucking ridiculous.

Agreed, it's just weird to think how much that mindset has infiltrated the HN. This place is supposed to be populated by engineers with critical thinking skills, yet any criticism of these large corporations is met with censorship via down votes.

Really makes you think..

I don't know what my comment has to do with libertarianism, or why it's being down voted. I was simply mocking the blatant corporate bootlicking, and the branding of all criticism as evil right wing attacks.

Obviously it's appropriate to remove the citations from someone's work then, right? No bias there :^)

Title could just as well be: Things you can't say on HN without being censored by an archaic down voting system.
