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.

that wasnt my intention. It was simply a phrase I hadn’t heard
Ironically, by saying that you're just doing The Thing again
Catch 22. Nothing else I can say 🤷♀️
I mean yeah, it kind of is. Unfortunately when folks impersonate the clueless in bad faith the people who legitimately don't know stuff tend to get caught in the crossfire, and I say this as someone who is frequently clueless.
Best advice I can offer is to develop a thick skin about it and be willing to put the work in if someone helps you find the keywords to look up. The more of the background you can find yourself the better equipped you'll be to ask specific questions that are less likely to be suspected for JAQing us around.
true.
Nothing else, in all of the English language or otherwise! Oh, woe betide, the fates served upon them this fateful day, to be so choiceless in their utterance, cast afloat in all creation!
The Thing in question has an element of intent that the user doesn't exhibit in this thread, or any of their history. Simply asking questions isn't JAQing off.
Simply asking questions would be SAQing off, which is totally different.
maybe they caught a ban cause of their weird fucking vibes and cause they couldn’t help but thread a bunch of low-effort garbage into a moderator announcement
You can always look at the modlog. Only bans the user in question has are almost a month old from a conservative community for not being conservative and a furry community for saying "furries 🤢."
yeah the anti-furry shit would’ve been enough to catch a ban from here, and I’m kinda sorry you’re ok with it
but I’m gonna be honest, you seem exhausting and your only contribution to this instance has been assigning our admins homework. I think it’s best you move on
we really don't care
