It’s interesting to think what in people’s personal perception makes them find strange thing interesting or scary or boring. Especially when it comes to grapheme.

Chesterton fence == I don’t have an argument but I do have a fence and you don’t, so I guess somebody should have learnt their lesson!

The thing correct information doesn’t change so it will feel like an echo chamber to people who have been taught being sold a new idea each week is the same as “challenging yourself.”

My estimates show X has at most 200,000 real English languages users. Can anyone prove X even has 1/30th of bluesky? Can’t count bots.

It’s kind of funny all those supposedly complicated technologies are actually pretty simple when you understand why you are using them. Docker is the best example, it’s hard to understand what is happening unless to understand the problem it’s solving.

I bought bitcoin, I hate it, I think conceptually it’s really dumb, but the first rule of investment is to diversify. I just can’t ignore the fact that it’s a store of value like gold it is very bizarre why it is prioritized, but it is.

Why are you asking for citation? Shouldn’t the person making the claim provide the evidence, instantly remove account if named man said “I take bribes.” So I believe he took a bribe. Why would you believe otherwise?

I’ve found much of the “reading” of cursive of my teachers was just basically snobbery. If it’s illegible but curly, well I just read it wrong! Illegible but straight, you makes it wrong!

In the US your insurance is literally worthless. Doctors make more money referring doctors to bullshit specialists then doing their job. I think you’re right about Swedish cheese. It does taste better.

Umm who in America doesn’t know someone personally who has visible liver damage from fast food? I know multiple families where 4/4 people have it. Why would he make that up? He didn’t even go diabetic.

Can there be some sort of mechanism on HN for criticism of an unsubstantiated headline?
