I'm on a fuck off spree lately. So fuck off with what you think is important and not.

Do you feel woke? Fuck off.

Do you feel threatened? Fuck off.

Do you feel like an idiot? Fuck off.

Do you feel I'm having a bad day? Fuck off.

For the record. This post on Dr. Seuss has no place on HN. If it is allowed on HN but dissent ideas are not, then fuck off together with your woke HN points. I'm sick of idiots turned social warriors. Fuck off

And to those that are offended by fucks; fuck off as well.

That include anybody that cares to point me to HN guidelines. Have a nice weekend, but fuck off in the mean time

To those that find my comments offensive - fuck off

Nitpicking and a pet-peeve but Elon Musk is an African-American. You probably mean "black". They are not from Africa simply because they are black and for clarity we should stop being politically correct (especially when critical-race theory is so keen on language defining reality)

That would not happen in the America that we looked up at when I was a kid.

De-platforming for decades?

Either it will swing back or its momentum will topple the base with it.

We've seen revolutions before and they were not pretty.

When you read the Skunk Works book you stumble upon passages where the government has to pay for tools maintenance and storage after the project is complete.

Some bureaucrat entity always decides at some moment that paying for storage of an arbitrarily old project tooling is not worth it.

I don't know.

I think I replied to assimilation of the idea of totalitarian regime institutionalizing otherwise mentally healthy people for dissidence to merely not letting them vent on radio.

Indirect lines explaining seemingly unrelated concepts are everywhere. They even made some shows about that. However, linking these two particular concepts together is strange.

Yes but that won't stop you from drawing/rationalizing _any_ conclusions from a set of facts. Not all of them will be right and fewer even will make any sense.

Which is indeed your prerogative until you mess with the laws of physics and start believing that because you move your arms very quickly you can fly, and that will stop you from falling off of a cliff.

There is a five-whys strategy to go to some bottom of an issue but even this strategy will fail you when you cherry-pick the answers to your convenience.

How is that accurate? More, like, exaggerated to make a point but missing it by a mile.

Soviets did not give airtime to pro-party ideologues to validate their position. There was no competition between ideologues to get more airtime. The program was _dictated_ by the powers that be.

Ha, ha! Let me tell you what I think the Democrats believe. For one, that men can carry babies like in that Schwarzenegger movie!

Generalizations are useful until they aren't! Let's put our thinking hats for a sec don't you think?

What should we do about the 20%?
