It should be the end of Zionism.

New comment by obpe in "Remote work is bad for you"

obpe — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 15:30:48 +0000

It seems the entire premise is that Social Media is what is actually bad for us but going to office would help people be more tolerant... I don't think so. The vast majority of people do not work from home remotely. And the intolerance in our society was well established before remote work was common during the pandemic.

I personally really dislike when someone proclaims how society should be from the own personal anecdote.

If AI writing was good enough then they wouldn't be able to tell. Also, some people lying on social media won't change any minds about whether they will be fired.

I believe it is largely Meta pushing this so they can more accurately track people over 16.

Just another reason to never use AI.

I think the real problem is rich people thinking that their lives are "amazing" and can not understand, because their livelihood depends on it, why some one could possibly have a different opinion about their own life. What do you mean you can't afford rent, planes have Wifi now! You haven't got a meaningful raise in 5 years, but ChatGPT 5 was released, it's a step improvement in functionality! Not a single thing that is amazing impacts me nor has improved my life. But I guess rich people flying around can stream Netflix, we truly are living in a Utopia.

This is true for every obesity intervention.

Because high blood pressure can have many transient causes: caffeine, exercise, stress, dehydration, even high salt intake. Further, other diseases can also cause high blood pressure, such as diabetes, and Hypertension (high blood pressure) is also it's own disease.

I am truly sorry for the situation you find yourself in.

Meta makes far more money from scammers than they will from you so it's in their best interest.

Every assertion I checked from that article is false. So there is no evidence Wikipedia has a bias.

I stopped reading after the umpteenth paragraph not mentioning the book.

I don't think that is the case. According to pre-election polling more than 50% of voters said the economy was their biggest concern and only 25% said immigration. And the Democrats were largely touting the status quo which cleary people do not want.

I think they're referring to the Soviet Union under Stalin, a dictatorship, which was very much opposed to homosexuality.

I just don't understand this victim complex these people have. Alex Jones still did his show after he was deplatformed, so what do they really want? This is just a big whiny, "I don't like the consequences to my speech"

The reason it's a problem is the cost. Diet and exercise are free.

"What if we did psychic mediums but on a computer?"

This simply preys upon a lonely and vulnerable population which needs to process their grief not dwell in it.

My vibes based opinion is Alice's group will have less cancer but more heart disease and Bob's will be the opposite.

New comment by obpe in "Ask HN: Where to incorporate with free speech protection?"

I think China would fit this description the best. It seems like they DGAF about what you say as long as you don't criticize the leader and government or create "social unrest" which practically means telling other people to criticize the leader or government.
