Surely "mouth-breathing buffoons" is short-hand for 'not my niche/circle of interest apes'.
We're all primates with our own monkey-sphere, and our inner circle of orangutans will be most important to us.
Some of us choose to read Daring Fireball (http://bit.ly/60LKTH http://bit.ly/60LKTH) and follow John on twitter. But twitter is telling us in the most prominent position they have that we should be interested in this: http://bit.ly/1F5sWF http://bit.ly/1F5sWF.
- alexqgb 16y agoIf you're on HN, you're probably a nerd, which means your Twitterstream (if you have one) is probably pretty interesting. Just for fun, click on the hashtag for any given trending topic. Note the (extraordinary) difference in quality, tone, and general signal:noise ratio. You will realize that (a) Twitter can provide amazing filtration (b) this filter is 100% necessary and (c) the filter is exactly what the #dickbar undermines. It's like an airplane engine that fails on purpose.
