I'll bite and argue that the parent is a totally positive new member of the community, by the virtue of demonstrating the right attitude to this old beaten biohazard doomsday scarecrow.

I'll be downvoted to hell for "not loving black ppl" enough and will create another account. Freedom of speech in America etc.

Thank you for your argument. I'm not personally interested in rehashing whatever covid gripes someone may have, but it is nonetheless a nontrivial, good-faith contribution.

My previous comment was a welcome and guidance on good posting here on HN, simply restating what the community posting guidelines[0] already say.

In general, comments like "I don't care about this post", with nothing else added, aren't particularly constructive, nor are posts complaining that people downvoted them[1][2] (which the HN community guidelines also politely and specifically ask posters to avoid). Such feelings are better served by flagging and/or moving on.

Anyhow, thanks for your contributions. Sincerely, a fellow hacker, and fellow human equal to you and equalled by you.
