>Even easier than being a fanboy is to

Easier? How? Because you said so?

>promote one's own superiority via dismissal

How come I haven't noticed that it isn't working, then?

>sneering at the efforts of others..

This is where you show your fanboy colors. The GP said something along the line "I don't think that is as amazing as you say", and you overreact, saying that they are, "sneering at others efforts". Another commenter said SpaceX is facing "incredible" criticism in HN. All signs of over reaction, typical of fanboys when their need and expectation of unquestioning acceptance and praise from everyone, for their object of worship, are not met..

>You probably see yourself as sophisticated, remarks are no different than a 7 year old putting down somebody for throwing like a girl, It's adolescent, not contrarian.

More typical, hurt fanboy reaction. Stop for a moment and and think about what exactly in my comment have provoked you to attack me in this fashion.

Getting stoked about trivial stuff and mistaking stunts for real achievements is one of the ways we will end up in Idiocracy. I see here, a whole generation of people reduced to a bunch of stupid cheerleaders...

The shame is on you. Not because you play along in this charade. But for how you see and project me for not taking part in it.

>I find the level of criticism for SpaceX on this site to be incredible.

This has to be the funniest comment I have seen today. There are more than one post regarding this event with 300+ votes. Still the level of criticism for Spacex on this site is "incredible", Really?

>diminish amazing things..

Sorry. We are living in a period where mediocrity and even complete fraudulent stuff is hailed as profound and "amazing". People with differing opinions matter, and I would say they matter more than ever.

And I don't think people love being a contrarian". It is quite easy being a fanboy, but it is hard to go against popular opinion, and be a "contrarian". There is no love in being a contrarian, there is only hate and ridicule.

Ok. Can we have less of Tesla/SpaceX posts. There is already one discussion about this in the front page...

>concepts of love/relationships/family/jealousy/cheating

I share a similar view,

But our current set up won't allow for something like that.

When you take out those concepts, you will see a human being suddenly has a lot less potential disasters/sufferings hanging over his head, which makes him harder to control and exploit, which is all living in todays world is about. Being exploited nicely.

Give a man a family or put him in a 'romantic' relationship. You will see that he get reduced to pulp, Easily controllable and mouldable into anything as required by the state and similar establishments...

They won't let that change happen.

Less about Qbasic and why it is still the best and more about a parent bragging about their kid doing stuff with computers so early.

I mean, just make the title "my kid wrote a text game in Qbasic" and do your bragging there. No problem..

How did you find it out?

Young kids easily grasping things is interesting. It is also commonplace...

Some guy brags about his son..

What all languages have you worked with?

My argument is that there is no line...

It is terribly depressing for many people to admit the reverse also. That money cannot buy happiness...
