Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

even the Orange Site hates this fucking guy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40133976
edit: except dang himself, who posts a multi-paragraph comment complaining about the title then edits it to admit he didn't actually read the article. Presumably this is the style of comment desired at HN going forward.
danny, please log the fuck off
"You see, if I don't ...[pause..massive bong hit]..get involved, right? If I don't get involved ...[pause..walks to table, grabs a keg, slams it in one go].. then I by default can't be subjected to the problem! [does line of coke off side of now-empty keg] And this way, I can always be perfectly neutral! [coke kicks in] This is how I manage to make HN be so central to everything!"
"Tell my wife I said....hello."
--dang's last words, probably
* "hello?"
also his name is dang? now
my new gimmick for the occasions I have to post on the orange site is seeing how many question marks I can add to my thread titles and comments before I get shadowbanned
what if ... whitespace .. and predicate logic...? we could call it
?🥹👉👈trailing-question-marks: the consensus bypassing trick anarchists don't want you to know?
The amount of tone-policing in the comments is sickening though.
So your average HN thread, then.

will no one think of the poor baby exec who makes 8 figures? how could they be so mean to him??
I’d rather people dogpile executives instead of entertainers and athletes like they do today
stole your comment, so there
Nice. I got some restriction for being too sarcastic about Elon and his sycophants, did dang get you yet? It blocks me from posting for a while if I do several at once. I just quit using the site shortly after that.
they don't actually want people commenting, apparently, so there's a throttle
For everyone? That's idiotic. It's killed all my desire to engage, because I'll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to "be respectful." If it's for everyone that's completely idiotic.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul's pockets.
