It is the flavour of the year political topics maintained by a small percentage of college students. It'll soon fade from those buzzwords and take on a new ideology. Due to the internet, it seems like much bigger of an issue than it re

Awesome speech, very moving.

Then I guess I don't have any because I'm perfectly content being alone. Being around others isn't very stimulating.

Because it's really sad and pathetic.

It hugely depends on how it's asked. If you ask it in a really awkward dead pan kind of way it's going to fall flat. If you do it in an almost "indulge me" kind of banterish irony, most people get that and will string al

The ones that appreciate and understand the underlying banter are the ones I like to filter for using this tactic.

I like to go with Larry David's advice with skipping the small talk and going straight to medium or large talk. I like to open with "so how's your marriage?" Just get right into it.

The percentage to fraction made me laugh because it's totally one of my moves.

Happy. Trying my best to get over existential dread.

I was a lot happier a long time ago before I started reading HN / news in general. The "spark" that lit everything is gone.

Welp time to stop using Instagram. Patiently awaiting a competitor.

Do you have a link to the original?

Really happy I came across this, been searching for a website like this for a long time. Thanks!

Went to website, noticed scroll override, closed site. If you're inexperienced enough to think scroll overrides are ever a good idea, your product probably sucks way more.

Neither. It's an entire experience unto itself separate from whatever ideals you think you hold.

Yeah we thought we were going quick. "Takes years for people to launch and we built a perfect system in a few months!" was kind of our approach. We literally just should have bought a theme, connected our backend, and launched, th

I got stuck starting a company with my friend and wasted months coding everything to absolute perfection with the latest bleeding edge tech when we could have coded it in a week, then we missed out chance because a huge competitor swept in

When they figure out how to mark it up 20,000%.

I agree, and acid is not in that category.

That's really sad that you won't explore psychedelics because of personal idealism. You only get one life.

Ah the ole self citation. Always a classic.

Wow, how precious, someone who believes in the system! It suppresses dissent subconsciously. You start censoring yourself. If you think there is a shred of humanity within any of the NSA or any of the alphabet boys, you're in for a rid

That's crazy, I wish I could do that. Honestly anything below 8 and I'm dead tired. My day starts at 10am, I get home at 4pm, then piano until I sleep. Repeat every day until famous.

You're reaching way too far into it. I don't understand the mentality from peers in similar life situations as me that are "so busy they barely sleep". To me that just means bad time management, because no matter how b

I never understood how people don't get sleep. Isn't it a net negative to be dragged through the mud? No matter how rough my day is I always make sure to get 8-9 hours of sleep. The world can wait for me you know? Yeah, sorry Bo

This person sounds like a complete doormat. Can't even tell the taxi driver he prefers silence. Also it sounds absolutely awful working at Facebook, but then again I am extremely adamant to mix business and personal life. Nobody at wor
