You’ve never had to fight for basic human rights as a white straight person.


What if the commenter is female, or disabled, or doesn't own property, or is subject to the many other axes of marginalization?

It's not all about race and sexuality.


He specifically asked about a straight flags.

Non property owners are discriminated against?



There are places in the world where this is not true, particularly Zimbabwe and South Africa. By the western definition of "white," which includes Arabs and middle easterners, this is not true even in the most "tolerant" parts of the west.


> You’ve never had to fight for basic human rights as a white straight person.

Look for the etymology of the term "slave". You will be surprised.


I don’t think this is true?


That is such a myopic, stupid take. How do you even know? Are you somehow deluded enough to believe that even in western countries nobody has to fight for basic human rights? Fuck, half of Americans’ basic human rights are in flux right now, have you been paying attention?


I'm late here, but you broke the site guidelines extremely badly. We ban accounts that post like this, regardless of how wrong another comment is or you feel it is.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.


I didn’t say other marginalized groups don’t have to fight for human rights.


How is it hidden? It’s a setting in SOS.


It is enabled by default, and there is nothing that will tell you about it without explicitly looking for it.


Android doesn’t have “print to PDF”?


It absolutely does. I came in here wondering what the difference was compared to the PDF print function.


It does and some apps can share to it. Unfortunately Firefox does not. I just checked.

Is this what Hacker News us about? Mocking mental illness?


How is that mocking? It was merely a descriptive term.

short version of that yes


fair, edited


Full Self Driving, I believe.


whoosh


Spouses die. Children move away.


The affluenza teen killed 4 people.


What’s the difference between a list and a curated list?


My assumption is that the list was automatically generated and contained many pages that met the aize criteria but were error messages, place holders, or other uninteresting things like a curse word repeating down the page, or worse, tiny POCs for CVEs


Smart people live below their means.


Yeah right. Because smart people can always control the circumstances of their life like an illness, elder care, affordable housing, change in market conditions, etc.


No amount of living under your means mitigates the h1b clock to get a new position or leave the country.


I try to live by that principle but it's really difficult to actually do it, mostly because of costs related to real estate/housing, and seeing how housing is a big share of almost anyone's salaries (either through mortgages or rents) in the end it gets out of your control.

What I'm saying is that is difficult to live "bellow my means" when it comes to, well, living, which means having a roof on top of my head. I don't want anything fancy, just a safe enough area, decent amount of space and decent amount of transportation options. I'm of course willing to pay for all that, the problem is that there are people who are willing to pay even more, which leaves me with two options: either compete against those other people, which, like I said, makes the "live bellow my means" moot, or, the second option, to compromise on my housing/living arrangements (choosing to live in a less safe area, giving up on access to public transportation, choosing a studio apartment instead of a one-bedroom thing), which is less than ideal (because housing is a basic thing in one's life).


Doesn’t really matter when you have any mortgage or rent to house your family. It’s fine when you’re 22, less fine when you’re 42.


The majority of people who earn more spend more.


> Smart people live below their means.

> The majority of people who earn more spend more.

You don't need a Prolog engine to compute the conclusion...


I do, but when I earn more, I definitely spend more :)

Like Elon Musk.


I lock my ATM cards and only unlock them when I need to get cash.


I do this too. My banks mobile app takes just seconds to unlock the card.
