And mind you, my opinions aren't like of that guy who worked at Google and wrote "if women weren't bad at math, wouldn't they be working with computers?" or whatever that guy wrote. That's not my style of thinking.

But my style of thinking is definitely not "woke" and therefore many of my thoughts would easily be categorized as hate speech or something by woke people.

My vibe is the people who keep saying free speech these days isn't a problem are the same people who demand you only speak their orthodoxy. Always has, always will be.

The problem is that Americans, and most societies in the West in general, have totally lost touch with basic human existence. For example, in New York right now, people are delivering pre-cooked, packaged food in single-use containers to poor people[0]. If you can't provide food for yourself, are we to assume that this is the standard level of living that you are entitled to? I wouldn't be surprised if many people say: "Yes, this is what people who can't provide for themselves need."

My opinion, however, is that sustaining people in this way is completely unsustainable, a form of terrorism on the environment. You can't just give people free endless takeout and say that that is the basic standard of living they need to advance in life. But that is how this is being done right now, because the people who think UBI makes sense, I find, are by and large the same people who consume prepared, plastic-packaged foods all the time. These people, largely, live unsustainable, intensely capitalism-based lifestyles, and think for some reason that it makes sense to bring the rest of the world into their divorced for nature-reality existence.

Giving people a "universal basic income" so they can live the destructive Western capitalist lifestyle is a plague on our species, human culture, and worst of all, on the environment.

It's neither not constructive, nor friendly. Nothing about the contents of the page itself. You're basically, rude and borderline hostile with italics emphasizing something the author /should not/ do. Horrible.

Where's your #1 Hacker News site? Where's your awesome collection of awesome sites that you shared with people. I don't see one.

How do you go about "eliminating" a country and its inhabitants without killing them all?

How can Twitter apply these rules inconsistently and be taken seriously?

“Liberty means prohibiting biometric data bases or any other type of human designation. There is no difference in principle between sophisticated biological marking and tattooing an ID number; both turn our identities into the property of a third party. In both, we lose our freedom. Simply put: We have one God above us, and we should not be enslaved to another person or mechanism.”

There is /nothing/ "dangerous" about rebasing. You just don't rebase branches that are publicly shared without coordinating with the other users, so for some cases (like "master" of an open source project) you don't rebase.

But for your internal workflow, rebase is a KEY TOOL. It's how you write your story of commits. You can't just perfectly nail your commit history the first time you code, unless you are a genius. And what if you're working on a feature, but then you want to commit a certain series chunk of changes to master, so that other features can use that change. Rebase is how you do anything like this. It's core to using and enjoying the beauty of git.

Not to mention reset...

There is no otherwise.

You can't just use this—or safety—to justify anything.
