The existence of suffering greater than your own does nothing to invalidate your own suffering.
And it certainly doesn’t mean someone else should come along and shame you for expressing your own pain. That’s toxic to any form of discourse.
- croes 3y agoI don't invalidate suffering, but if your suffering isn't live threatening, you are definitely not on level 10 in Hard mode, that's more like level 8 in Medium. Especially if you can afford a sabbatical after you are fired.

Nothing personal to you, I'm an equal offender with this stuff, but this kind of "well, actually..." nit-picking on HN drives me nuts. If you could harness the power of smart people to correct other people's lack of specificity, it would be better than fusion.
