I want to tag on the remainder of my profile for you, since you conveniently skipped it in your hate speech.
>Live long and prosper.
I hold a genuine desire for strangers to live a fruitful life.
Please, consider revisiting the source of your anger and hate to a stranger and ask yourself "what is the effect I aim to have?" If you are aiming to hate as a cathartic release, I suggest writing a journal. If you are aiming to hate as a means of cruelty to a stranger online, do it anonymously without your real name attached to it.
I feel like that's a broad and general comparison. It would be equal to ask that of the UK during the height of their reach.
To do any real comparison you need to isolate something quantifiable. For example, languages. Latin influence is real and measurable. English is derivative from Germanic languages and was borrowed, and we didn't really export English...the UK did that. Why is Spanish one of the more commonly spoken Latin languages? The spanish crown was real good at that whole conquest thing, with the germs and the horses and the etc.
This is a real example of what I was alluding to. Environmental impact isn't all polar ice caps and methane gas. An unprofessionally dug hole is a LIABILITY.
But personally attacking strangers on the internet is acceptable too.
Everything about this comment is a personal attack and sidesteps my real concern--the flagrant disregard for the environment just because someone can do it.
And Don I have to tell you, I am not a troll and I have to ask what crime did I commit expressing myself?
Was the post script necessary?
Maybe I get heated because this forum claims a standard is being held while I see bias persist
Maybe i believe it is important in a healthy democracy that the right conversations happen.
Maybe I hate bullies. You def. Are being a bully.
You disregard a real talking point on how little liability we hold people to disrupting land, and just attack me, AND YOU CLAIM YOU CAN BC YOU PERCEIVE ME AS A TROLL.
I stand by my profile description bc this is a diverse community.
I have a question for you, what is your purpose of your rant? To make me feel bad and you feel superior?
this is the same forum where people minimize their consumer garbage output to one bag a year and reduce aviation usage to reduce carbon footprint. I find it EXTREMELY condescending that you ridicule my opinion. Whats the scope for scales of environmental impact that matters?
Every single construction project in an area where an endangered species lives, the USAF must conduct an environmental impact study for said species from the project, even if its a toilet.
I am very much extremely reactionary, this is a news forum. People post news and react to it.
Sounds like anticompetitive muscling out with a trivial and nondata supported claim for justification. If diets were a real concern of governments, there exists more appropriate policy measures, but passing laws that apply pressure on the free market with no effect on the bottomline of a city's budget is just easy so I can see why they are doing it.
Context helps. It isn't a trivial datam. S/Google/Army/g the responses would vary wildly regarding the military industrial complex, impact of contributing to it, etc.
I feel like that's not a fair comparison. This isn't a religious symbol. It is a tool for the practice of religious doctrine on public land. If I tried to route a filament around all of Manhattan I'm certain nypd and the city would be all up in my face about it.
Every time I hear this talk I can't help but feel that enterprise and industry is getting a free pass. Industry has a much larger impact on co2 than consumers, i think. I'll make improvemenrs where I can but I'm honestly fatigued from this talk. I'd sooner write my congressman as this should be a government docket item.
I get the impression from your rant that you're dismissing the parents comments core complaint about the adverse impact of increased labor supply on the middle class and then follow on to namecalling. This style of commentary seems beneath HN's aspirational high signal low noise.
Reminds me of that episode of futurama where they almost become rich from being acquired by Mom. "I suddently have an opinion about the capital gains tax!"
The tax bill paid by new grads for their rsus is usually their first experience with non-income tax flavored taxes, and I think we have an incentive to ask for cash in leiu of rsus for that exact reason. Of course, not going to complain too mich.
I love the simple sourcing of requirements. Good job!
