Imagine you're making a pizza, but you're out of pepperoni. Your mother-in-law is allergic to bacon. Now imagine I'm leaving your house and riding my bike into the sunset.

Like I said, if an attribute is statistically associated with another, then one doesn't cause the other. Proportionally larger part of the immigrants produce less value to society and come to consume away what the natives produced, then basis for reducing immigration or "remigration" is merit, not race.

If you are unable to point errors in this line of thought, then making fun of it will unfortunately make your stance look even weaker.

If you believe and promote racist shit like this you produce negative value to society

You'll need to point out where I'm wrong to make any progress here.

I guess you haven't felt the consequences yourself yet.

-- Proportionally larger part of the immigrants produce less value to society and come to consume away what the natives produced

This is absolute nonsense in every way, in addition to being racist and xenophobic. You aren't special because you won the lottery of what line you were born inside of. Get over yourself.

Do you think migrants from, say, Mexico to the US or Morocco to Spain, are skilled workers?

Also, unfortunately the lottery is real: while there are productive people who become wealthy mostly due to their own effort, there are many more who are just born into a well off country and benefit from the history before. But the question is, should a country that is well off somehow let everyone in to enjoy these benefits because it is "fair"? I guess your answer is yes, mine is no. I'd say, if you drew the less good lottery ticket then it's up to you to climb the ladder, rather than get into a rich country and start using its social services.

They absolutely are skilled workers, more skilled than you for sure. And they contribute a great deal to the country while not getting the benefits of being citizens, they pay way more taxes than the limited services they use.

And there is no ladder to climb, it is nearly impossible to migrate legally and gain citizenship. One of the many big lies of xenophobic, racist, anti-immigration people is "they should do it the right way, come legally" when for the overwhelming majority of people it simply isn't possible, and the current admin is making it even harder, motivated purely by racism.

Another one of the big lies, one that you are doing here, is wildly overstating the extent to which they "enjoy the benefits". Mexican immigrants are not eligible for most of the services provided to citizens.

Every attempt at quantifying the impact of Mexican immigration to the US is overwhelmingly positive to the country. You have nothing to stand on but racism.

There's a (in my opinion) very weird tendency to think that workers are a hindrance to the product, that anything that gets made is made in spite of the people making it, rather than thanks to them. I think it's very destructive.

That's weird, it works on my phone. Are you sure you didn't refresh the page with the anchor tag still in your URL parameters?

Am I right to be a little concerned by the phrase "it'll go straight to the pirate bay"?

Not to be a narc or anything, but is OpenClaw liable to just perform illegal acts on your behalf just because it seemed like that's what you meant for it to do?

> Not to be a narc or anything, but is OpenClaw liable to just perform illegal acts on your behalf just because it seemed like that's what you meant for it to do?

There's at least a couple of dozen instances right now, somewhere, getting very close to designing boutique chemical weapons.

Seems like the only people using pirate bay in 2026 are "privacy obsessed" rich middle-aged guys.

I think they do it mostly to feel young and edgy.

I use it to get media for my family to watch on any tv using Plex. Sometimes I get books/manuals etc.

If an organisation had any serious chance of moving the needle by staying on X, musk would simply find a reason to ban them. X leadership isn't interested in fair and balanced discussion.

It's not a command line argument, it's part of the title of a hackernews post.

I think the point they're making is that the failure mode of a waymo and automated air traffic control could look the same from an angle, but would have very different consequences.

>I want my comments judged by the contributions they make and do not make to the discussion

There used to be a sort of gentleman's agreement that I could spare the time to read and judge your comment because you went through the effort of writing it.

I feel like that would only change your opinion of the quote if you originally equated it to "Government bad!", which is a thoughtless thought.

I refuse to believe you sincerely think this is a salient point. Determinism was one of the fundamental axioms of software engineering.
