I like to ween myself off coffee by drinking lower caffeinated tea instead.

Ironically to your own distaste, you will have been the one who made this about global warming instead of just discussing the topic.

Why do some people have to always be looking for something to be offended or riled up about?

Poverty also induces poor people into a sad state of mind where irrational decisions become the status quo. It's a mental prison.

Many people depend on their businesses to provide for their livelihoods. They may be put on the streets if their business is burnt down during a riot. Will you be there to help them pay to rebuild or to help them rehome themselves?

In the end, America did join the fight and took part in defeating the Nazis. But back then was a different time. I don't think Americans are too excited to get into another conflict they'll yet again be blamed for any of the negative effects to come out of it.

Are you American? Aren't you tired of playing hero? I'm tired of getting involved and then becoming a target of hate and demoralization.

I'm not sure if Americans are up for starting another foreign conflict. If we can't even fix the problems closest to us, why do we expect to do any better for problems across the ocean? Yes China bad, but what can we do? Punish them economically during a worldwide pandemic and push a nuclear power into a corner?

If we can't check the videos, how do we confirm the quotes were really said and in what context?

Racists: 1 Censorship: 0

While it's a euphemism for nazi, I hope you don't just assume that it's appropriate to use "white nationalist" to mean "nazi". Just because other people are being stupid doesn't mean we have to. A white nationalist could be from any political faction and could have different ideas for economic policy. A National Socialist is a very specific kind of person.

No. If someone says or does something to me based only on my race, they are a piece of shit racist. I don't care how many years his people has been oppressed by some other group of people.

Somehow we have the opposite experience. One day, I'll see people claim HN is a safespace for socialists/communist lefties and another day it's a white nationalist haven.

Which is it? :P

It's just racism dude. Not even white, just tired of the mental gymnastics people go through to justify their actions against white people based sole on their skin color and what they've committed against their people. You're doing the same thing. In the end it's just the tribal, racialist bullshit I'm freaking tired of. It never ends, because we keep justifying evildoing whenever it benefits our side at the given time. If we keep doing this, we have no right to complain when some other group does it to us at some other point in the future.

I agree it's a bit wishy-washy. But that's what it means. Everyone (in the U.S.) when they say whites, they pretty much always mean anyone with white skin who have European heritage.

Yup, so even if some poor Croatian guy just got off the boat, as long as he looked white enough for Americans, some of them would say he benefited from American slavery of blacks and must renounce his white privilege.

I think this is a copout answer. "White" usually refers to people of European heritage who have lighter skin in America.

You had me until here:

>Violence used to curb violence is peace. Peace used to ignore violence is violence.

So an eye for an eye, eh? And if I use my eye to look away, I also deserve to lose it? I think you are a dangerous fellow. I'd sooner allow someone to say some mean things on the internet than let someone like you ever get into a position of power.

One day they will come for you too, whoever supports this.

Yeah lol, I meant to say vest, but I thought it was wrong and edited it to jackets.

Don't even joke. Think of how many SEs you just shook out of their sleeveless jackets.

I'm imagining a scenario where a UCSF insider could coordinate this with someone by deliberately getting their system infected and then splitting the money with whoever is behind that NetWalker instance. Do you guys think that would work?

I don't know, arbitrarily making it more difficult for a certain group of people to compete against others based on their race smells kind of like racism to me. Is that even debatable? Where are the pitchforks? I don't think that's politics. It's racism/discrimination right in front of us. Do Asian lives matter?

Their severance pay was probably on the line...too sad

As a practicer of high frequency breathing to ensure I get enough oxygen for my bulbous muscles, I'm offended.

"the black ball signifies opposition"

Blacklist signifies exclusion.

What makes one racist and the other not?

Why not just go with the flow? Who knows, maybe you might enjoy a racialist society where everything is decided on the whim of the trending minority group. I'm not white, so it's kind of funny seeing white people kiss or clean the feet of black people because they're guilty of another person's injustice done onto someone else other than the ones having their feet worshipped.

All I know is that both of them are perfectly willing to discredit and throw science to the wind if it doesn't fit their needs. I hope the science community realizes this before they let themselves be used as pawns by politicians.

Could be both. Both sides reject science wherever fits their goals :)

Buying used can be quite a shitshow though. If there was an alternative to ebay, where the used stuff I'm buying can be certified that they have been properly cleaned, repaired as needed, and have whatever defects transparently labeled, I would love it. Oh, and they won't scam me hopefully. That's the biggest thing. I don't want to get scammed by someone trying to offload their garbage.

"Honestly I don't give a fuck what you believe. The fact is that it offends someone somewhere in Arizona and I will not stand for this."

This is what I would say if I were in the league of those trying to censor everything I, or anyone somewhere don't like. You cannot win against these people vore. One day they will come for something that you may hold very dear to your heart or person. And they will cry in pain as they strike you. Because you're the evil one getting in the way of their change and progressive activism.

Ever notice how the default theme in software is typically a light/white theme?

This. clap Has. clap Got. clap To. clap Go!

I am making a serious argument. How come we care less about the feelings of people when it's just some people in the state of Arizona? We will make changes to all kinds of stuff for the sake of black people, but ah, I don't care too much about these other people tho, they just have to live with it. Shouldn't we take into account everyone's feelings? The people of Arizona who live in that region know who the SSL are. Most aren't software developers.

Like I said, if you are going to stand up for one group and not for another, I find it hard to believe that you actually stand for anything. Could it be it's just the group of the day for you and it's something you can feel good about because it's the appropriate thing in the current cultural climate?
