It definitely puts his "Don't be Weak" ending line in the footer in a different light.

I can still work for 10 hours a day, but it doesn't feel good to live. Scary to think of what something like cancer could do to Productivity. Yeah, I love the topic of frugal cooking, but this guy reeks of the "hustle porn" mentality HN was admonishing yesterday.

Huh. Well, that's not good. I still like what the author has put together here and think it may help some people. But perhaps he needs to rethink some of his other ideas.

  Author sounds a bit obsessive about all things in life. It's appropriate for a doctor to tell their patient the facts about their situation. If laypersons do that they are going to run into social friction.

    Doctors would face the same amount of social friction if they did what this guy is doing, which is giving his unsolicited opinion about the health of people he does not know personally, and has only seen pictures of online.

Yeah... after skimming through his feed I am not inclined to support him in any way.

Aaaaanndd he deleted it. The guy was talking about reporting images of "obese" people on Instagram, lest other users think that behavior is acceptable. The accompanying screenshot was him on the Report pop-up, with the background image being 4 normal looking women posing for an engagement party or something.

  His latest tweet is an apology tweet, so he must be monitoring this thread.
  - schnevets 7y ago
    Good on him for acknowledging it instead of just hiding that action. To me, a delete means "I no longer want people to know about this thing", but an apology in the same medium means "This thing is no longer representative of who I am".
