I rarely see the "what to do to avoid them" in Rachel's posts, and I think that's why I find them so frustrating.
- fastball 5y agoYeah, I get why HN likes them, but for me they usually just come across as "this thing is stupid and I hate it". Which I also get – a lot of stuff in the world is stupid. But I also understand that if that is the attitude you go in with, you will almost certainly find what you are looking for (things to be annoyed at). Probably more useful as catharsis than an actual guide.
