Is really interesting how language breaks sometimes.
I guess I am from a really different context than you, while reading those words (parasite, non-productive) I had to choose an interpretation and depending on that I might be really close to what you say or really against it.
On this case I think some of the replies took a different option and that is why the answered like that.
Nah, I called him out for the dog whistles because that’s exactly what he’s doing.
He’s being vague enough that he can trot out some defense of “I didn’t say the exact word ‘immigrant’” even though the context of the conversation is about immigrants and he’s using right wing talking points about immigration. He even included the “actually you’re the one with bad thoughts cause you recognize my dog whistle” reversal.
It’s an amazing strategy because somehow, despite a decade of this kind of communication strategy, there’s still the clueless or the hopeful who want to assume good faith and then will defend these people against anyone calling them out.
FPS where you are an animal or an insect in an urban environment.
Like a game where you are a cat surviving on a neighborhood, looking for food, avoiding dangers, even fighting with other cats.
Or a game where you are a spider in a garden, catching other insects, hiding from predators.
Or a game where you are a bird, flying in the city, making a nest in the trees, looking for food.
I want to see more communities with people building things together instead of a lot of people just consuming what a few influencers do in some far away fantasy land.
I thinks a lot of the tech elite trying to build the next big thing to sell and save themselves could try to build the next big thing that allows people to work closely. Think of it as Stackoverflow vs Instagram, the first allowed a lot of people to help each other, the second just made a lot of consumers and a few big scale sellers.
Yikes! Hopefully the site will hold up to HN traffic. Was this on the landing page? If you let me know where you saw the error, I can take a look. Thanks!
Don't make me create another account, just use Google/Facebook/Github and, if you really want to, give the option to create an account just for your site.
