I meant more emphasis on the 'kind of' in 'kind of annoying'.
Maybe 'frustrating' would have been a better word. It is frustrating when seemingly everyone around you is on a different page than you are.

- lukas099 3y agoIs it really so bad to say that a lot of people should do certain things differently than they do? Like, if I said more Americans should get more exercise and eat less junk food, would that be a horrible thing for me to say?
- closewith 3y agoThe fact that you're equating your opinion on this to health advice shows your disdain for the perfectly reasonable opinions of others. Your thoughts on this are not the one truth in the matter. Honestly, some self-reflection may be in order here.
- lukas099 3y ago> you're equating your opinion on this to health advice No I'm not, I'm using health as an example of a general principle. Anyways, as I've said up-thread, the 'kind of annoying' thing is referring to the feeling of having any unconventional opinion that is better to keep to yourself (except on HN where such things are slightly more tolerated). It's not that other people are annoying because they like other things than I do, or whatever the current straw man is.
