What website am I on? I'm surprised to see aversion to big centralized government on HN of all places. I always imagined your average HN user to be not far off from your average Redditor.

[sofixa → sanchostache]

Really? What i see on HN is on average pretty libertarian ( right-libertrarian, aka anarcho-capitalism) compared to most other platforms.

[tertius → sanchostache]

Libertarianism thrives here and in most successful Silicon Valley.

On: Rents are dropping across the US

[sanchostache]

People are fleeing unstable liberal cities. No surprise.

[seanmcdirmid → sanchostache]

There is no evidence for that. No one is fleeing, but we are at the start of a harsh recession, when seeing rents fall isn’t weird at all

Cesspit echo-chamber anymore. A reflection of the communist society in which we're quickly headed. The doublespeak and gaslighting has a lot gotten worse...

It won't stop, bud. Everything must be sanitized.

How do you feel about doctors out cheering on massive crowds of protesters?

"This is an entirely new continent. (So was vaping associated lung injury actually)"

I haven't read anything about this yet. Link?

Probably not inherent to vaping, but a nasty additive in some of the fluid.

[anewdirection → ceejayoz]

It was from using vit-e oil as the base liquid, found exclusively in one individuals homemade THC carts (although others are suspected as having the same mistake). The media really dropped the ball on tht one.

[tom_mellior → anewdirection]

You also kind of dropped the ball on providing a source.

[Der_Einzige → tom_mellior]

Find it yourself, a single Google search will find that he's correct about the vitamin E

[ceejayoz → Der_Einzige]

A deeper dive will find that it’s not conclusively proven yet, and I can’t find much evidence for the “one guy’s fuckup” assertion.

On: Joe Rogan got ripped off

[sanchostache]

I'm a soon to be Google Play Music refugee (after they close up shop) and enjoy Rogan... I guess it was good timing

On: Nintendo Switch

[sanchostache]

Right, but imagine good art direction AND raw power.

[alphonsegaston → sanchostache]

With that combination, you need something like the art direction of a Studio Ghibli in order to successfully manage the complexity (excited for the new Ni no Kuni, BTW). Most, maybe all, game studios in the west are not up to the challenge. Many indie games are much more artistically successful precisely because they have to think around the constraints and can work with a more concentrated vision.
