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.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

go sealion on someone else’s doorstep

Attempting to engage in a sincere and civil discussion isn't sealioning.

Fun fact: The Sea Lion is officially 10 years old!

"Very well, we shall resume in an hour" will never not crack me up

I will never forget the dude who argued online that the sealion is the real victim here (a victim of the “disgruntled female”)

amazingly, I’ve seen (and I think banned) people who’ve tried to sealion about the sealion comic. these assholes really are shameless public masturbators

I'm familiar with the original comic. If every attempt to engage in sincere conversations across different points of view on the internet is interpreted sealioning, then there's no room for sincere engagement.

But this is a matter of perception. Am I a troll or some who sincerely disagrees. I had an honest critique of the article so I expected some heat, but I was that there would be some sincere criticism of the idea. Rather, and shame on me for thinking otherwise, I've been called names and my criticism has been dismissed whole cloth. I'm a little surprised that this is as hurtful as it is and that I'm surprised that I am this pricked. Not exactly sure why I continue. Any case, that's my reply. Good day, sir!
