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.

Writing "fact" after a statement doesn't magically make it one, bub

my mental voice for the DM sender keeps switching between “board game store inhabitant who spent way too much on warhammer shit and noticed you’re 3D printing your miniatures” and “flat earth convention keynote speaker” but it’s Reddit so a cursory investigation might reveal they’re both

  1. Only this $25 box of space marines can be used in sanctioned tournaments and therefore you can’t possibly derive enjoyment from your resin miniatures (is that a squad of tiny masters chief?) - fact.
  2. You can’t prove that the earth is round because you’ve never seen it curve - fact.
  3. What do you mean you’re not here to listen to me talk? I’m not moving so you can play with your masters chief (and is that — are you going to make them fight Gandalf?) - fact.
  4. The mere fact that the terrain on the board game table I’m not letting you use is flat and has an edge proves me right - fact.

I just enjoy that masters chief is like attorneys general.

Do you think tiny master chief is a Flat Ringer? Like if he's so smol, maybe it's hard for him to see the curve (fact)
