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.

when I first saw the bike comic I remember it struck me as exactly what someone would write in the midst of a pathetic attempt at positive thinking. but if it represents how he genuinely felt, for me it goes from cringe and not that interesting to just not interesting
that comic is especially enraging to right wingers. with them is where I've seen the sustained loathing for it. the idea that despised lowlies are stealing your shit and you must strike back/first is fundamental to right wing ideology, especially the right wing conception of masculinity. you're supposed to hate the people lower than you in the hierarchy largely because their existence is theft. a guy not being mad about actual real theft by some city rando spits on a premise their whole ideology rests on
it kind of reminds me of the "I really like girls" video which I'm too lazy to pull up. it's just a streamer doing a cute little rap about how he really likes women, and someone put a mildly cringe animation over it. very online right wingers hate hate hate that video, because you're not supposed to actually like women: they're lower than men in the hierarchy. or such would be the subtext when they ranted about it
I mean, what the hell else are you going to do if your bike was stolen? Instead of doing nothing about it you can go to the police so they can do nothing about it.
My answer to bike theft is to scrap all the cop cars and make the police ride bikes. After the 500th police bike theft you bet they'd find a solution
Obviously you should self-radicalize to demand summary execution of bike thieves.
That would still require cops to find them first, which is never going to happen.
Like the only way it could would be if we abolished police entirely and then created a special Bike Thief Police that handled nothing else than bike stealing. And they only get paid per recovered bike.
sounds like an AI use case
