In what way is it easier besides you saying that it’s easier? You have a hard time swallowing pills I guess? Or do you remember to take injections more because they stand out more in your mind than pills do?
EDIT: Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Since when on HN is it acceptable for someone to say “I think this way so it must be a fact” without providing an explanation? Even when it comes to subjectivity, there’s an expectation that people share why they believe in their opinion, right?
I swear I dislike this site and the people who use it more and more every week.
- damnyou 6y agoI'm pretty sure that "easier" is a subjective determination. But no, I don't have a hard time swallowing pills. It's just that doing something once a week is easier than having to remember to do something everyday. The injections are also more effective for me, as they are here. And finally there's an aesthetic aspect to plunging a needle into one's muscle that I appreciate.
- daniel957 6y agoYes, it’s subjective to some extent, hence why I asked in what way is it easier beside you just saying that it is? I left out “to you” but I thought the HN community was a bit smarter than that. Even if you had said “it’s easier to me. Full stop,” I still would have written the same reply... All you said was “it’s easier” in your original point. You obviously felt the need to clarify yourself in your most recent comment. So clearly your first comment was lacking information. There was no reason to downvote me just because you felt my original comment made you look stupid. FWIW, even though “easy” is subjective, there’s still a consensus to be considered. For example, finding piercing your skin with a needle to be an asthetically-pleasing act does not fit that consensus... Something that _does_ fit the consensus is that taking a pill every day is a hassle. Stop being facetious just to prove a point.
- damnyou 6y agoI did not downvote you, for the record. I thought your questions were useful and I hope I answered them to the best of my ability. This pandemic has been hard on all of us. Take care.
- daniel957 6y ago? I’m not sure what the pandemic has to do with this. I looked at your comment history and you say “in fact” without supporting your opinions _often_ to the point that I laughed. Also, you edited your original comment which probably led to the downvotes. I’m assuming you must also correlate the pandemic with your immaturity then.
- daniel957 6y agoIt’s disgusting that I’m being downvoted when the main point in my great-great-grandfather post was explaining about the effectiveness of the trial mentioned in the article. Not whether some random Internet weirdo prefers to inject themself...

- daniel957 6y agoHe edited his comment to say “(for me)” after I had replied. Also, if you click damnyou@‘s comment history, you’ll clearly see that he loves using the phrase “in fact” without supporting his assumptions. I didn’t deserve to be downvoted.
- damnyou 6y agoMy pronouns are they/them, thank you. I edited my comment within a couple minutes of posting it. Sorry about the confusion.
- daniel957 6y agoYou didn’t edit your comment minutes afterwards. It was at least 1 hour afterwards. And sorry if you actually do prefer those gender terms. But honestly, it sounds like you’re just making shit up. I’m assuming you’re just a young white kid. I’ve met many of you in the tech industry who act like that. “Oh, I said something stupid and fucked up, let me pretend to be ‘woke’”. People like you exhaust me.
