So while the #2 link at the moment is HN 3 years ago and we say hey, those links were interesting back then.
And over here at #1, we have 88 votes for a comic strip. With the top comment saying 'well put'
I like Dilbert as much as anyone else. But ask yourself: did you learn anything? Long lasting interest doesn't come cheap. Some may say, 'hey, lighten up', but I'd say, 'hey, we already have reddit'.
- jrockway 17y agoSomeday, you will learn that life is long enough to both learn and have fun.
- iamwil 17y agosigh yes. By stating something that no one's going to dispute--myself included (I mean, who doesn't want to learn and have fun at the same time?), it diminishes what I was getting at. In the case of dilbert comics, it was fun, but didn't learn much. That's what I'm against. Sure, there are other things that are also learning and fun, which is great. If fun is sugar and learning is fiber in cereal, all I'm saying is beware eating sugar-only cereal. If you want sugar-only, we've got reddit. Important thing is to have the fiber, regardless of sugar or not.
