Jesus HN. From racisim, to flame baiting vegans and a collective holier than thou, fuck the plebs aire, I am about finished.

Your moderation used to keep up, but its just reddit in here now, with slightly better submissions, and a few decent commenters that still occasionally show up to the dump when they see something shiny (their name).

I applaud YCs recent attempts at media, to help raise the bar here on news, but its an uphill battle without ousting the trolls.

Goodnight sweet prince and all that. I may still read you on the shitter, but I feel contributing is more trouble than its worth now. I suspect others may feel the same, but I can obviously only speak for myself.

Well, I didn't expect blatant racisim in HN comments, but there it is. Based on ignorance no less. Can we ban people like this? /serious

I am all for free speech, but excusing murder based on race is where I may have to draw the fucking line. Feel free to post this on a board relevant to your hopefuly unique interests.

To some. There are also quite a few traveling americian yuppies that trade aid for 'souls', for the sole purpose of bragging about it back home. Its an unfortunate mix.

There most definately are, although not extremely common. I recall reading a HAYES (pro-fat) article calling for beauty equalization or some rediculious thing. Sure its not common, but to dismiss any extreme you arent aware of does not help the conversation. The amount of impact is highly variable, but one must assume there is some, as many of these blogs have thousands of followers.

And you almost always make your actual life objectively worse in the process. I dated a media junkie, never any fun, always posing, aranging dishes, making 'moments' instead of actual enjoiable memories. She was an amazing person, but the near OCD levels of trying to make life look perfect to the outside just didnt work for me. The most amazing moments in her life, never documented, only a ghost shell online to paint a false memory.

This was the reaction I got from most non techies. Makes my heart sad.

If you are willing to gamble real money on that assertion, its there for the taking.

But very few go to trial because the courts cannot afford to try that many cases. So, like most social issues, where does the money come from?

Edit: I want to be clear. I agree with your point, but observing the obvious roadblock to implementation.

If one dimension is limited compared to others, it makes sense to call it psudeo 3d, because all planes are not fully realized. But it is still clearly invoking a 3rd dimension, maybe a 4th if you consider movement in time.

I still call it just shy of '3D'.

All my meat is raised on open pasture locally, fed only on wild grasses. I specifically said factory farms are a clear problem. Thanks for talking past me and ignoring my point. This is what makes conversing wih you people get on my nerves. Show some intellectual respect and get some in retuen.

I can't agree more. I grew up next to a theater and it was the thing to do. The last decent movie experince I can recall was the film print showing of the hateful eight. I didnt even like the movie itself a whole lot, but the quality, and experince were amazing. I would love to have a movie to get excited about. It all just seems like such low effort drivel now.

That argument just lowers the bar. It can be a shallow movie and also not insult my intelligence and cram product placements into every other shot. Bad filmmaking is bad. Do not make excuses for it.

If you live/lived in the usa, and have ever had credit here, this affects you.

This so much. The stream of corporations passing the buck into a black hole of irresponsibility needs to end now. If people arent held responsible, they will continue to make these failings without pause. I hope everyone is writing their legislators and congresspeople right now. They listen more than even my disillusioned self thought. The just might have bigger incentives to act otherwise. But if they dont know, they cant even choose to be corrupt or not, they are ignorant by proxy. Communicate to your leaders, and remember their response when you vote.

But you still pay the fees from the banks failings, so it really does hurt everyone even when the bank eats it.
