I'm sorry you have to go through this. The human psyche is truly marvelous at generating unhappiness. If you are don't have anything and haven't reached your potential you are unhappy because you feel like a loser. If you are on the upswing and growing you might feel unhappy because you didn't make it yet. And when you made it, well, that's when you are unhappy because you are past your zenith. Why is it like this? Who knows, but the Buddhist have some good ideas about it, I find.

From personal experience (I used to lie on the couch wishing I'd die every day for weeks) I can recommend the following three things:

* Move your body in sunlight. I'm not talking about becoming ripped or doing and Ironman or something crazy, I am simply talking about doing an amount and intensity of exercise you can sustain a couple of times a week every week outside when the sun is out. Once I did this for three weeks or so I found that this dreadful feeling of emptiness faded and that I hardly felt discontent anymore. These feelings return when I stop doing that which usually is my trigger to start again.

* Read & follow the book "The Happiness Trap" <https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Trap-Struggling-Start-Livin...> I'd credit this book with the single biggest impact on my life. I remember crying from relief after doing one of the exercises.

* When you got yourself together somewhat I'd recommend having a child. It's the most fun and satisfaction I ever had in my whole life and it makes everything else so much better.

I hope this is useful to you and that you get better soon.

Hackernews is just as censorious as twitter. Comments get flagged and moderated solely by the positions taken within and then system has the gall to then tell you to read the comment policies which you didn't violate as they are from the libertine age that preceded this one.

Controversial post rarely reach the front page anymore and if they do they are full of reasonable and true comments fading into gray and finally away. Meanwhile the most on the nose, vile and hateful propaganda get's voted to the top with rarely anyone speaking against it.

I understand you do this for a good cause, because you think it will save lives or make society better. It won't.

There is an underlying reality with it's ground truth and that can only ever be glimpsed through the verbal sparring of ideas and ideologies.

To those truly concerned about "harmful misinformation", you should know that the greatest atrocities in human history were committed when one side, faction or ideology could dictated what everyone said and wrote.

This is not an accident.

The most harmful misinformation is that which no one is allowed to correct.

Incomprehensibility? Where exactly is what I write incomprehensible? And the response to not understanding some points is that you don't address any points and declare victory? That's bad faith.

Meanwhile my post fades into grey soon to be invisible and then the next person like you can claim that they just don't see those science-minded vaccine skepticism comments / posts.

> You've shifted your argument from your doubts have been proven true

No, that's not what I did. I showed that there is actually evidence for each of the points you brought up.

People get banned from yt and twitter for quoting scientific papers that don't align with "the message". In fact it's been yts official policy since mid 2020 to ban anything COVID that doesn't conform to what the WHO is saying.

Don't trust cloud providers with your core business functions. I'd go even further and say don't trust the cloud, period. I think the next big thing is going to be moving back on premise or private cloud as more businesses realize this.

If software that actually exists is really already sending "telemetry" that can reliably identify your activities in the real world the concern isn't that theoretical anymore.

It's amazing how many people down thread simply ignore or minimize what you point out here. And this on the same site where people get mad about the wrong kind of cookie which they always had full control over anyways ...

I really like the UX/UI of the transfer tool. The dialog meant for literate people that explains in clear terms what the problem is and what can be done about it is a breath of fresh air coming from our world where "the user is stupid" toy-like UIs dominate.

Who limits liability of (certain types of) companies? The government. Maybe it should stop doing that and we could see if we still need all that heft?

What if the inefficiency, corruption and stupidity is due to the very nature of government?
