Would prefer if dang/admins added subtitle or bracketed the altered title

Usually, admins make a simple comment upon edit. But not really required given it's an explicit policy in HN guidelines.

The only mirage of 'elbows down' I've seen is pen to paper, elbows on desks. Action through words.

There's been lots of true action

- tariffs on American goods - embargoes of American liquor - trade deals with China and other nations - travel to the US down substantially

Unfortunately, the stick is still behind their backs.

Pubs generate way more tax revenue than churches.

Less a 'chain' or hierarchy than a lecture hall with cliques. Many of the 'influencers', media personalities, infamous, famous, anyone with a recognizable name - for the most part - was introduced to the tsunami wave of [new tech] at the same time. They may come with advantages, but it's how they get back to the 'top' (for your chain) vs. staying up there.

For a while now I've felt that there's an apathy in: there's more content being created than consumed.

this is true, like 90% of projects submitted on product hunt have 1 vote or less.

Lmao, me too, the internet has become a single player game at this point. I usually just type and forget.

They're just clearing their six.

What do you think a sucker punch is?

"A Human commented at ##:##pm" "An AI Bot commented at..." "A suspected AI Bot commented at..." "An unconfirmed Human commented at..."

(also get age of empires)

Hahah absolutely!! Man that brings back memories.
