I wanted to post this as a child to @gist's comment, but since there are a lot of comments similar to yours, I'll put it as your child.

Fuck[1] those who make you feel bad that way. It is RIDICULOUS that working reasonable hours a week, doing a challenging (or not), but stable job, great benefits, and being rewarded for loyalty is now LOOKED DOWN UPON! Your entire life is not a challenge to see who can push the hardest, 'solve' the most problems, start many companies, etcetera. You should do what makes you happy. Honestly. And if that means starting a company, go for it. If you're not so inclined, don't fret over it.
I have realized that the problems will come to you if you look for them. Like, random ideas. For example, you will see in my comment history that I often suggest ridiculous business ideas as solutions to my problems/something I want. If you want something/aren't satisfied with some kind of stuff, maybe you should work on a solution, and try to sell it to people with problems you faced? You may not make a lot of money, or any profit, but might make yeah happy, and give you the satisfaction of having started something.
In a related note, in one of my previous comments I mention JuJu Dhau, this awesome/incredible yogurt from Bhaktapur, Nepal. If you/anyone wants to start a yogurt business to make that (I'm assuming U.S), I'd be a sleeping/reasonably active partner for a little bit of money. Just throwing ideas out there... : )
1. Does HN have a swearing policy? In either case, I mean in the figurative sense anyway.
- Mz 11y agoDoes HN have a swearing policy? I don't think so. I think as long as you aren't cussing "at" someone, you are probably fine. Personal attacks are not okay. That is not what you are doing here.
- downandout 11y agoA mod actually changed the title of a submission I made to include a swear word when I posted an asterisk-laden version of it [1]. So I think you are correct that there is not a swearing policy. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8897764 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8897764
- jacquesm 11y agoI'd say that the 'original title' policy simply trumps the 'gratuitous swearing policy'. Just don't attack people personally and you'll be fine, though a user that excessively swears without purpose would likely be chided (is there a keyboard version of Tourette's?)
- alexandercrohde 11y agoDoes HN have a swearing policy? There is no official policy on this to my knowledge. But my feeling is that expletives indicate and incite strong emotions that can cloud insight into the complexities of an issue. I think I'm not alone in that.
