  sarcasm? you really think the majority of HN users are startup founders?

    No - but many of them have dreamed about getting jobs in vancouver

      One thing I've learned from my brief time on HN is that HNers don't like humor. I couldn't read your original comment, but I voted this up because this was a funny response.

        It's not that we don't like humor. Most people just aren't as funny as they think they are.

          Haha, fair enough.

        On the contrary, I love a good joke! I think the problem is sometimes its difficult to differentiate sarcasm, trolling, and idiocy without knowing the person or vocal cues. The OP wrote the comment on a new account with absolutely no history to guide me. What should be my default take?
        • kjhgbhjkl 16y ago
          sorry - I create a new account each day. Too much traceable info online for the industry I work in.

            No worries. I'm not too concerned about my karma, though -4 seems harsh for not catching a joke.

      Sarcasm can be hard to interpret on the interwebs from strangers with no context. Clever response though!
