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.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

Choice quote:

Actually I feel violated.

It's a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I've always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I'm going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It's hard to empathize with somebody who feels "violated" by small talk.

lmao no I don't invest in crypto or shares. I'm broke as fuck. What part of bankrupt over treating depression is difficult to understand?

What part of both are awful but criticising one more than the other is stupid and lazy implies I'm doing either?

bringing one in context of another, when they're not related at all. also, i distrust pale vegans (who almost never realise the impact of pale veganism on other places).

Carnist seething lmao, you want to feel so good about yourself but you're just as happy as anyone else to make someone else die screaming if it brings you a moment of pleasure. But sure hey, at least you're not a tech bro. But then if you weren't incapable you probably would be, if you're unable to do something it's not virtuous not to.

Carnists pretending they have any sense of right or wrong is hilarious
