this kid really embodies the american spirit: rich white boy doing whatever the fuck he wants without the slightest concern for who he might hurt or kill in the process, all in the delusional pursuit of a meaningless status symbol he has been conned into thinking he can get because of the cultish adherence to the belief it’s the land of equal opportunity despite any and all evidence to the contrary, all while trumpeting about how great he is to anyone who will listen

if there were a way to delete all my posts and my account I would do that. the hacker news community has become thoroughly disappointing to me and I retroactively want all my contributions withdrawn. i want nothing to do with it.

So, the kid isn't actually white, which makes me wonder if that changes your perspective on things?

Honestly, as far as children doing stupid shit like this goes, that describes pretty much all children.

It’s not like the thought he might hurt someone ever even entered his mind.

Forgivable for a child, perhaps. but not for a president, or a ceo, or startup founder.
