Well, it's been long enough for me to take another piece or few from the pile to put on display here. Before I forget to mention it, I like seeing these cocksuckers call Facebook by the name Meta and then refuse to call Twitter by the name X. I refuse to call them anything but Facebook and Twitter, because I hate them.

There's no point in archiving this, because the comment is flagged. Interestingly, I found this through the search interface, which doesn't have this censored. That's good to know.

Well, when it comes to writing, kill your darlings and all that. I've plenty of examples of Hacker News members, wishing death on people who don't live in big cities like it's fucking Reddit, but oh well. None of it's really worth mentioning here.

Here's some old dumbfuckery from Paul Graham justifying grotesque wealth inequalities:

I'm glad I put Walter Bright in the first post, because I keep seeing stupid shit from him. Here he is defending Hollywood forcing actors to give body scans, for perpetual use, for one day's pay, because, hey, Carrie Fisher was able to make money:

He really embodies that old view Boomers have that excuses whatever heinous shit some company wants to do, because it's not like he was ever exposed to the consequences of it. On that note, here he's defending Google publishing books without the rights, in a conversation about people putting books made by neural network nonsense under other authors' names, using the same damn Carrie Fisher analogy:

He practices what he preaches, because he writes shitty comments on Hacker News. Lastly for him, he's claiming humans can't survive without economics:

He's no different than the communists who draw analogies with small villages. None of those analogies properly extrapolate to the current state of such systems.

Here's some idiot bitching about us. I began to look into his posting history, but I got bored:

I'll finish this off with something most recent, a now-flagged comment in a now-flagged discussion about advertisers leaving Twitter. Someone points out something he shouldn't have noticed:

Yesterday, Hacker News showed its retarded little brother some attention. Here's the top comment:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38508282 (archive)
Lobsters Hacker News.png
Most of the comments are complaining about favouritism from the staff towards certain users, and I agree with their observations. Here are a few more on that mark:
Lobsters Hacker News 2.png
Lobsters Hacker News 7.png
Lobsters Hacker News 3.png
I care not to look into it, but this jart user may be the tranny involved in that old llama.cpp drama, based on the link comment below his, but that's for someone else to investigate. It's funny either way, and burntsushi also makes an appearance:
Lobsters Hacker News 5.png
Lobsters Hacker News 6.png
Someone rightfully calls the shithole a ghost town, to amusing resistance:
Lobsters Hacker News 8.png
Someone remarks on the low quality of Lobsters, and I also agree with that observation:
Lobsters Hacker News 4.png
That comment segues nicely into my covering the Lobsters discussion on their discussion. Since the discussion is about Lobsters, it gets a lot of attention, and since Hacker News discussed the same thing, none of the valuable conversation is over in Lobsters:

This reasonable comment is, of course, near the end:

So, it's happened again, a Hacker News discussion about some vapid shit some fuckwit on Twitter wrote:

Put simply, the big Silicon Valley companies need to join together to beat down a smaller company that's mad about the blatant copyright violation. Others agree, and I like how this user in particular suggests the cartel illegally threaten them:
NY times is asking that all LLMs trained on Times data be destroyed Hacker News 7.png
A communism analogy is made; the final comment suggests the usual Silicon Valley solution of having the victim impotently police the offender in an act of pretending that the offender is in any way legitimate and should be allowed to operate at all:
NY times is asking that all LLMs trained on Times data be destroyed Hacker News.png
The public domain doesn't have enough newspeak in it:
NY times is asking that all LLMs trained on Times data be destroyed Hacker News 3.png
Several more fuckwits don't understand the difference between a human being and a machine poorly pretending to be a human being through text alone; in all fairness, these people probably are very close to an inanimate object pretending to be a human being:
