If you're going to make such a ludicrous-seeming claim, the least you could do is explain yourself rather than leave us guessing as to how on earth the post has anything to do with child porn. Or, as someone else put it:

What the actual fuck are you talking about??

No, it's not backwards. The modern steelmaking process starts with iron that has too much carbon content that has to be removed; the premodern process was the other way round. See A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry's excellent series explaining premodern iron and steel production: https://acoup.blog/2020/09/18/collections-iron-how-did-they-...

> People cycle because it's faster, not because it's easier

That may be true, but the fact is that cycling is a more energy-efficient form of transport than walking. It takes literally less effort to go the same distance.

The author is "not exactly a train enthusiast" as they say, and nor are the vast majority of the audience . Yet the article presents the game in a way that sounds appealing to such an audience, potentially exposing it to more people than just the train fan niche. I think that alone makes it better than "terrible"

> "people under 16", you mean children right?

They're still people, don't be weird.

> Too much protein can definitely kill you, or at least make you ill, as discovered by the Europeans who explored the northern parts of America and who had initially tried to live from the meat of hunted animals, until they learned from the natives that they must eat enough fat besides the lean meat, in order to survive (most wild animals have little fat, except the bone marrow, which must be extracted).

That's an issue of too little fat, not too much protein. The question is whether, when your other nutritional needs are being met, an excess of protein is an issue.

> It's similar to my aversion to books like "The Game"

Note that The Game isn't a PUA manual, it's investigative journalism into the PUA scene.

As someone who is fluent in Japanese, the thing is that this is not an example of a method that works well, it’s an example of a beginner coming up with an overwrought headcanon (while calling it “simple”, nonetheless!) that ultimately will hinder their understanding, as I will detail elsewhere.

If this was a similar post about programming, it would not get upvoted here because more people would recognise it for what it is: a “Monads are Like Burritos” post from a well-meaning but misguided beginner.

Staying on the safe side would be not confirming whether it stands for Turbo Rust or not. "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment."

You think that they have “days leading up to consultation”? Please don’t be so disingenuous; I’m sure you know exactly what the person you’re replying to meant.

"Not about moral high ground. One's an ideology my morals agree with, one isn't."

The current situation really has zero bearing on the principle that it’s better to inform users of this.

> The difference is that electricity wasn't being controlled by oligarchs that want to shape society so they become more rich while pillaging the planet and hurting/killing real human beings.

Yes it was. Those industrialists were called "robber barons" for a reason.

I think it is humorous exaggeration

> Should I be familiar with every step of Dijkstra’s search algorithm and remember the pseudocode at all times?

Somehow, I think you already know the answer to that is "no".

I've been working as a software engineer for over 8 years, with no computer science education. I don't know what Dijkstra's search algorithm is, let alone have memorised the pseudocode. I flicked through a book of data structures and algorithms once, but that was after I got my first software job. Unless you're only aiming for Google etc, you don't really need any of this.

Antibiotics don’t stop you suffering from poison ivy. At all. In other posts you say you had a broken skin barrier that’s vulnerable to infection, so you presumably know that this is not the same as actually having a bacterial infection, and that antibiotics are only a prophylactic, not a treatment. So stop making out that people are dying to deny you treatment.

> I won't call clickbait on this

But you are going to imply it by bringing it up at all.

> They didn't kill him, they failed to save him.

The post does not say otherwise.

Please give this, of all topics, the respect it deserves, respond to the article as it is actually written, and don't use this, of all things, as an opportunity to get on your high horse about some other article you have problems with.

> very well understood and documented by a huge community

Is this article not someone in the community documenting what's understood? I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your expectations, but it's fine for me.

Me. I'm a backend developer who occasionally wants to make a web frontend for a side-project but knows essentially no CSS. The solutions are not "well understood" by me because I know no CSS.

The article, and especially much of the discussion here, is about how privatisation has led to this situation. Privatisation of a public utility which _even in many other developed liberal capitalist countries_ is not privatised. Yet to you this is not evidence that we are an extreme example of neoliberalism, but somehow “defacto socialist” and your solution is throwing fuel on the fire with more privatisation. You’re living on a different planet, mate.

Fruiter Aero is a term that retroactively applies to the style of a certain time. Look at Windows Vista. Windows Vista's design is what we now call Fruitger Aero. Windows Vista came out in 2007. It's a retroactive term, yes, but how can you claim the thing it refers to didn't exist before 2007, when Windows Vista is a shining example of it?

I'm not sure how you've come to that impression. The boards I used to frequent are hobbyist ones, not political, yet they have people calling each other the n-word all the time. On /fit/ anything done by a large corporation or as a moneymaking scheme is talked about as if it's a Jewish conspiracy, to the point where they call highly-processed food "goyslop". /g/ hates Indians and calls software and technology that it likes "the white man's choice." I could go on. This pervasive background of racism is all over 4chan, and I wonder why you're trying to downplay it.

You're talking about a completely different phenomenon.

> Why not pick a good option? Why go through the trouble then be like, fuck it, Ill pick a shitty option?

You're assuming way too much active thought and choice on the part of the people who don't care about cookies. You're assuming that it was a choice between options at all. In my case, a website I was happening to read mentioned the I Don't Care About Cookies extension, and I thought, "oh, it'd be nice to have something that stops all of those annoying cookie pop-ups" and installed it. That is all. Is such an action really an "anti-progressive and pro-shitty attitude"? Am I really harming you or myself or society by doing that?

You clearly did not read the post you're replying to at all. They are not talking about ignoring it or claiming that they are not liable.

Neither dietary cholesterol nor saturated fat nor sugar are bad in moderation, and that's completely orthogonal to the point of them providing probiotics.

Tech workers are extremely ununionised, especially in the US. While this may be the case in other industries (though I doubt it - Germany famously has much better labour laws than the US and other European countries), I don’t think it has any effect on developer salaries.

Sure, to the technical definition of assets, but the point is that by definition fractional reserve banks don’t have the money on hand to pay out if all of their customers decided to withdraw at once.

Approximately every house has an aerial, its presence is not a good indicator of if there’s a TV hooked up to it. I think most likely they just look through your window.

“IMHO” means “in my humble opinion”
