Wow, the bootlicking in this thread is gross. And getting downvoted to death for speaking truth is an indictment of HN's culture.

Enjoy your bucketloads of logical fallacies, I am outta here.

This place is gross. I need a shower.

Peak capitalism. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

I have an early 1970s electric can opener from my parents that was bought at JC Penney. Still works well. Also, a 1950s clock radio.

Apple builds phones in factories with suicide nets. This isn't about forced labor, it's about poor people being able to skip the US middleman and have Amazon/Walmart goods at quasi-wholesale prices.

I hunt and recover fossils from Florida's "Bone Valley Formation". I find a lot of Miocene whale fossils, but mostly broken and incomplete specimens. I've never found anything this complete or interesting.
