Have you ever read the HN guidelines? I get the idea you haven't, and suggest you do.

Have you ever read the HN guidelines? I get the idea you haven't, and suggest you do.
- CodeGlitch 6y agoNo I hadn't. Thanks for the pointer. TBF 99% of the stuff on HN is about tech in some way, so anything not related feels out-of-place. Everyday is a school day.
- tomhoward 6y agoRight now, 7 of the 30 stories on the front page (> 23%) have nothing to do with tech. Dang (the moderator) encourages a solid amount of non-tech content to keep the site interesting and diverse.
- Thorentis 6y agoI didn't find the article intellectually stimulating or thought provoking. It's the type of thing my "I'm in my freshman year of my sociology degree by the way" friend would share on Facebook that most people would scroll past and ignore. I clicked straight to the comments hoping others shared my opinion, and glad at least somebody did.
- s5300 6y agoThanks for your input. I, personally, didn't touch the article - and from the title, I could guess I'd probably feel the same way towards it as you. However, my actual comment was literally to just make a correction that posts on HN aren't limited to what the parent had listed. There's a lot of regulars on here who really don't know that. Obviously, they're in no way malicious, but Dan tries to correct them by urging them to read the guidelines when they make it obvious they haven't... thus, so will I.
