A lot of HN readers harbor borderline or explicitly racist views. That’s more toxic to me than being unhappy because of overthinking things.

- pessimizer 5y agoSadly, that's just how the world is and has been. If you have to avoid it for your mental health, rely on loved ones and math/tech manuals and writing. Racists who aren't A) doing it as a troll or B) trying to make a career out of it, are actually just normal people trying their best to understand the world. If you have the strength to help them, you should; if you don't, it's alright to retreat for a while.
