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.

holy shit your post history of full of takes this bad, that's an impressive track record of dim. must be exhausting
oh wow there’s some literal “it’s not a nazi unless it’s an old dead German” shit in there, they’re that kind of fash debatebro
yeah, they don't teach much about fascist atrocities in ethiopia, and then people feel compelled to defend the good name of the boys in the black shirts because the poor dupes didn't build the concentration camps – just were allied to the builders.
yeah sorry I kinda undersold it
thank fuck they came out swinging
And yet, my opponents in discussion failed to provide good counterarguments. You aren't going to convince me of anything by hating my post history
good gods you're going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren't you
this was a bit of a given
bet you also think the climate cost of cryptocurrency is also a failing of the energy sector to deliver clean power to the innocent sweet little industrial-scale mining tycoons, don't you
don't talk about providing good counterarguments, please
see, because they can't provide their own, talking about good arguments is all they have left
I one-up your well-sourced article with a "nope it isn't", your move.
What, you want to tell me I'm somehow obligated to exactly know where and how every service I use is produced?
Talk about a horrible take.
it's not “hating your post history”, it's just realisation that you're a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.
it has been
[0]days since I got accused of having emotions about a driveby posterhow rude
(e: not that you did it ofc, flere, but ykwim)
And yet you're talking to me... To prove some point perhaps? Feel free to ignore or block me if you don't like my posts.
we can do better than block your shitty posts
nie, ja tylko ostrzegam, że wylecisz stąd na kopach, misiu kolorowy. lepiej ci będzie na wykopie.
i wanted to know how did you know, then i looked up his comment history on kbin and i wish i didn't (he extruded three more comments before he clocked that he's banned)
a hunch, really: i've met the type and had my suspicions, and then i've found that he posted the link about polish antitrust & consumer protection watchdog fining paypal, which is generally niche outside poland.
i've seen that too but the final giveaway was this fucking thing:
from the last comment on awful (after ban)
btw i strongly suspect that there's a way to tell native language of poster by style of writing and specific kinds of grammar mistakes
it is an often-viable heuristic, yeah
huh, first time I run across this (although admittedly my polish is dangerously-seat-of-pants)
long, boring explanation follows
spoiler
there's an informal mode of address that conveys the (one-sided, frequently) sense of familiarity, which goes [2nd person singular] [noun in vocative case] [adjective referring to the noun], like panie szanowny (lit. esteemed sir, but the inversion from the adj + noun to noun + adj signals different mode; so “szanowny panie” is formal, “panie szanowny” is shortening distance or expressing annoyance); it can be used, and frequently is, as a phrase that's a personal affectation (e.g. “królu złoty!”, literally “golden majesty”). the affectation is usually rather annoying.
on the other hand “misiu” (vocative case of diminutive word for “bear” or “bear cub” or “teddy bear”) is a common word of endearment.
so “misiu kolorowy” is a bit of a wordplay on both, and should generally convey serious lack of respect and clear annoyance. (i'm guilty of using this from time to time since the times of polish usenet.)
there's an added bonus in that there was a popular child series “miś colargol”, the pronunciation of “colargol” and “kolorowy” are pleasantly alliterative. (now this really shows my age….)
that's a much deeper (and thoroughly detailed) explanation than I expected, much thanks :)
It's when you want to say "kurwo jebana" but in a more polite, sophisticated way.
Think "bless your heart".
yeah I got that from the explanation flere gave :)
most polish (as in character/style) translation I've seen today
