Pick your battles. This isn’t a hill worth dying on (or even a hill worth getting slightly bruised on).

- bogidon 6y agoYeah agree. And I think we could agree replying "Ew" and loosing a little bit of HN karma does not constitute more than bruising. EDIT: didn't see the "or even" there. Disagree. I think the analogy can be drawn out a bit, so I'll say that a bruise can heal pretty quick, and one would adapt better to climbing "hills" if they exercised regularly. Plus maybe smaller hills should be climbed too.
- brongondwana 6y agoI have learned that flat out telling people that a hill isn't worth dying on tends to cause a bunch of corpses to collect up - if you don't want a molehill covered in bodies you need to persuade them to go die somewhere else.
