Agree. users as rationalist just don't have the cultural inclination for such subtle insinuations, and sadly this speaks for a big populance on hackernews

I'm not able to pin down the one-screen text on my mobile device without the page forcing me to go to the next one-screen text. This problem reminds me of https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/.
To the content:
Don't count on IEA's reports, they are just as subject to propaganda as any other media.
"When the world pays more, our grain can simply leave, so the price at home has to match" Not a fact.
At the moment as I see it some warmongers want really to escalate the situation to outright war between NATO and Russia so don't pay attention to Tusks words or any of the hawks from USA.

Arguably it leaves room for people that DO NOT profit from nepotism and generational wealth when the "best and brightest" leave. A lot of important people don't even filter into "best and brightest", while people acclaimed with this title are sometimes completely useless.

Re:Radical Study Suggests Life on Earth Arose Twice

You are right. I came to HN with the desire to make some usefulness out of me, and found the means to do so by policing around, pointing out to the guidelines, flagging random posts, and generally be obnoxious. All with the purpose to raise the standards rather than drag them down on this site. But it turns out I lived long enough to become the villain and if I look now in the mirror I see the very thing I was trying to battle.

The video is good, but it's advice about what to do when police want to talk to you. It doesn't cover things you already put in writing. By the time there's a message sitting in someone's inbox, that ship has sailed, and the useful advice becomes "get a lawyer before you say anything further," which isn't the point the video is making. Posting it here reads more like reflex than analysis of what actually happened.
Also, "stupid message" is a swipe, and it's in parentheses, so it isn't even carrying any weight in your comment. The guidelines ask people to edit those out.
