I don't find it tedious at all, and I say that as someone who has never had a single drink in his life. There are many people with alcohol addiction that need to hear messages like the GP's. Perhaps you need to develop your sense of empathy.
- OJFord 3y agoAnd comments on an article about French overproduction of wine is where they, more than others, are congregating? It's like commenting on an article about the fire at Notre Dame cathedral to say you converted to Judaism and are loving life and everyone else should too. Cool, happy for you stranger, but also don't really care and it's not relevant here.
- hdjjhhvvhga 3y agoI wonder what the issue is at play here. HN if full of off-topic comments; I'd venture to say under most articles the number of off-topic comments is higher than the ones strictly on topic. And most people are fine with it and go with the flow, developing the discussion threads. It is quite rare to hear someone "don't talk about this here." Ever in the case of crypto people just downvote the (lets call them) "web3 evangelists" or reply why they disagree, but it's rare to see the "don't discuss it here" statement. Unless, well, it's dang because someone started a flamewar. So I'm wondering why you feel this way about people being happy to have achieved a small but important personal victory.
