  • More than half the SCOTUS is corrupt and bought off, and the Republican Party in congress is just rubber-stamping what Trump wants. I don't have a lot of faith in the word "unconstitutional" anymore.

  • This thread is literally doing nothing.

    Nobody is going to stop using grammarly extensions to post to HN, nobody is going to be able to detect its usage.

    This thread just lets a certain kind of people put on their best condescending hall-monitor voice and lecture other people about how they should behave.

    And the rule is arguably less useful than speed limits and will be broken about as often (at least speed limits have a very real link to physical safety via kinetic energy).

  • Really kind of weird with all these people who think it is just fine for services to take over accounts of people.

    Of course, they can literally do whatever they like, it is their platform.

    But it would be nice if everyone considered what it would be like for a platform to just arbitrarily nuke their account one way or another.

    There's probably a lot of "well they wouldn't do that, I don't have a valuable named account, and I'm a user in good standing" but in reality they can do it for whatever reason they like and there's no actual guardrails--so anyone's account is equally at risk if they decide to.
