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.

You know, of course, what the most grating and infuriating human behavior is. It is not when another person is simply being unreasonable. It is when that person is constantly insisting that they are Just Being Reasonable, and wondering why you’re acting so crazy and irrational, while they themselves are in fact being extremely goddamn unreasonable.

Ah the "Ben Shapiro" method of arguing

Is the picture a press photo or a candid shot from a conference? If the latter, I could have told you this dude sniffs his own farts before reading the article

Actually either way, what a douchey "I'm smarter than you" expression

Tangent to the article: gotta say “uncontroversial” is one of my trigger words. Whenever I hear it in conversation, if it’s something i disagree on, my instinct is to pull the brake and litigate the controversiality of whatever the subject is.

Anyway I would go back in time and pay kids to bully Stinker. He’d probably end up tolerable.

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made An Attack On The Other Worst Person You Know

I will read the article and I'm sure I will enjoy it. I suppose Nathan J. Robinson was caught between his belief in collectivism and his desire for individual expression, and solved the conflict by deciding that the collective, c'est moi!. Many such cases.

@gerikson As someone with curly greying hair this is a great reminder not to go too long between haircuts in case someone mistakes me for this numpty and punches my lights out.

Yeah Nathan, we wouldn't want to be the sort of person who tells other people to be happy with what they have because it's comparatively better than something awful would we?

After all Nathan, an endeavour should be judged by what it can provide vs what it has, not what it has vs what is worse.

Nathan.

Nathan! where are you going Nathan?

Anyway insufferable prick is right about other insufferable prick. Industry recognition perhaps?
