  That's a really old account to just have 10 karma...

    Hey! I'm not doing much better and I'm very sensitive about it.

      I'm in Australia, so I almost never see stories as they start rising. :D And I may have locked my last account (i336_) a while back by setting "noprocrast" to a ridiculous value, which I TIL that day actually is not fixable. This is a new account. I'm debating whether to ask for my old account to be unlocked, or to start again. FWIW, this account's first post went badly - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14909407 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14909407 (downvoted to 0) - and I got bitten a couple days ago as well - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14975515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14975515 (down to -1), hmph.

    I am sorry for my poor karma. I did not live up to your standards. My account is a failure.
    • exikyut 9y ago
      You're not a failure though. Just to make that clear.

  Forgive me for my poor English, - looks like I have misunderstood meaning of "Oh, the irony!" expression. I thought when someone says "oh the irony" they mean what they are saying it about wasn't expected and is kind of crazy to believe. I was wrong. I am sorry.
  • exikyut 9y ago
    No, you're right. The statement is an exclamation of being overwhelmed by the irony of a situation, and irony itself is... slightly editing Wikipedia's definition for clarity, it's "an event in which what appears to be the case on the surface, differs radically from what is actually the case." I find that irony indirectly relates to cynicism sometimes. I think the "in the house" exclamation/reply was in agreement with what you were saying, and that it was directed at Salesforce.
