unixbotnuke··on ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers
You fat fucks just eat less and go for a walk.
unixbotnuke··on Iranian women compete at chess tournament without hijab: media reports
Hijab is a stupid relic of a bygone era (Ancient Rome and Mesopotamia) & was also adopted by some Muslim countries.

I’d guess the body image issues & mental health kinda play second fiddle to the fact that in a lot of Muslim countries you can legally beat the shit out of your wife and then rape and impregnate her…

Just as long as that stays in Afghanistan and isn’t imported to the developed world we’re all good lol.

Literally don’t care, it’s not our problem to be the world police. Where is my free healthcare/college/6mo of parental leave?

Oh wait, we gave a bunch of weapons to Ukraine so they could fight Putin when they were stupid enough to give up their nukes in the 90s with the Russian bear on their doorstep. Some weapons makers also made a lot of money, but you don’t hear democrats talking about that (I’m looking at you Maria Cantwell lol).

We’ve basically been gaslit into believing this is a moral imperative to support giving $$$ to Ukraine and many other countries. This is illogical it should be America First!

unixbotnuke··on Tell HN: I'm scared of sharing my opinion online
Everyone is a dog on the internet. Just don't attach your real name to it.
unixbotnuke··on Tell HN: I just received my Equifax breach settlement check
And no executives went to prison for the breach. We do not have justice in this country, but also realize this is not going to change.

You are brainwashed by the Military-Industrial-Congressional complex into thinking that the USA has some sort of moral imperative to be the world police, were the only duty of the government is to serve the people which it is currenly not doing and instead serving the interests of the elite and corporations.

I don't care about Ukraine/Tiwan/Vietnam, and the government should not either, it aint our problem. We can literally nuke Russia or China or DPRK if they try to invade or nuke us.

We should put troops on the border to defend it, but that would also deprive USA agribusiness of cheap labor [illegals] or noncitizens whatever the Biden speach police wants you to call them these days.

What we need to care about is income inequality, healthcare, and that most people are either overweight or obese. This is the real national security threat that noone can talk about.

Making systemic interventions into healthcare to prevent chronic illnes from overweight + obesity would give a ROI that is....insane. But we don't want to do that and instead give money to arms manufacturers to then give them to Ukraine, which is stupid.

We literally have people who are overdosing from drugs in the street, and the gov does not care about them. Instead it ostensibly cares about people on the other side of the world to boost some geopolitical agenda.

What we need to do is get rid of income taxes and git rid of the military.

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world": it was George Washington's Farewell Address to us. The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none."

Taxes buy stealth bombers, M1 tanks, drones to bomb people that the United States does not like, and also the overthrow of many different governments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r....

Taxes also pay rich politicans like Rick Scott to defraud medicare.

Taxes pay for different political parties to push their agendas both left and right.

This is government not by the consent of the governed, the governemnt does not represent me at all, but I pay my taxes becuse men with guns will ultimately come and put me in jail by force if I do not.

unixbotnuke··on Debloating Windows 10 with one command and no internet scripts
One person's bloat is another Microsoft PM KPI target.

This is great, if M$ is going to still be a defacto monopoly in the business world we need an OS that does what you tell it to, and nothing more.

1099K rule is delayed... https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-delay-for-impleme...
unixbotnuke··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for the world in 2023?
-Elon Musk is ousted from Tesla/SpaceX; TSLA <$50

-Trump dies of heart failure

-New COVID strain from the USA

-Housing bubble pops

unixbotnuke··on Ask HN: What's going on with Amazon Prime shipping times?
With shipping times going out into the weeks range, IMO it is time to just cut out the middleman and order directly from wish or aliexress.
unixbotnuke··on It's easier and faster to pirate an e-book, than it is to buy it
Here is an alternative: http://libgen.is/
unixbotnuke··on Tell HN: Doing a chargeback against Google will get your account banned
Ugh I hope not. But that is incentive to migrate away from google serivces.
unixbotnuke··on Ask HN: How would you spend a $2000 technology stipend?
If you're just working from home this setup would be great:

4k 28" monitor -- ~250-300 + tax Aeron chair -- say ~300 used or the Costco office chair which IMO is comparale comfort Sit stand desk from Costco -- $300 M1 Mac Mini 16/512

unixbotnuke··on Ask HN: Google useless for shopping / product reviews?
That is an interesting idea for product reviews, if you could have people up/downvote and that would be an alternative to Amazon reviews.

Yeah this is stupid and blatantly sexist. Used to live by a lot of Muslim immigrants and the boys had no covering but then you have 6yo girls that are covered head to toe.

Just guessing but that is going to mess with kids body-image and cause lots of psychological problems in the future.

unixbotnuke··on Microsoft accidentally revealed a UI design prototype for the next Windows
Yes this is annoying. Ideally my computer should just do what I want it to, and not gaslight me into whatever metrics Microsoft program managers are optimizing for to get their bonuses…as in selling more OneDrive or Xbox live subscriptions.
unixbotnuke··on What happened to the first cryogenically frozen humans?
This is a solved problem. Money goes in a trust in a state that has no law against perpetuities like South Dakota. Then pull it 200 years later as a bajillionaire, and you have an end run around capitalism.

Also Benjamin Franklin pulled of something like this from 1790-1990 "2,000 be divided equally between Boston and Philadelphia for use as loans for young apprentices" https://www.nytimes.com/1990/04/21/us/from-ben-franklin-a-gi...

unixbotnuke··on What happened to the first cryogenically frozen humans?
Would it not be reasonable to assume that the first anti-aging therapies that are approved will go to the privleged? Then they would be commodified and provided to the less economically fortunate.
unixbotnuke··on Tell HN: I am 12 and my GitHub account is flagged for no reason
That is annoying that we have such a law. I’d recommend putting 1901-01-01 as your birthday. Companies don’t need to know your real birthday…I never give that out, it is just lawyer-proofing.
unixbotnuke··on Tell HN: Doing a chargeback against Google will get your account banned
I did a chargeback against Google as they wouldn’t refund fraudulent Adsense charges. My account didn’t get banned.
unixbotnuke··on Ask HN: What is the best gadget you bought in 2022?
iPhone 13 Pro -> 14 Pro via redpocket deal was <100 for the upgrade after selling my 13 Pro on craigslist. 100% worth it.
unixbotnuke··on EU agrees to climate damage fund, energizing bogged-down COP27 talks
Do not care.

How many billionaires/dignitaries/John Kerry types flew private jets to this conference to tell the peasants to use less carbon?

unixbotnuke··on How to regain access to a Google account with 2FA enabled after moving?
would a TOTP be accessible via the youtube or gmail apps?
