I hated that shit. I'd load Slashdot and there was no real content or it was difficult to find real news amongst all the crap. It's not funny. It's annoying.

- reaperducer 7mo agoI feel bad for you. That's a lot of anger over virtually nothing.
- alsetmusic 7mo agoWould you be annoyed if HN went offline just for the hell of it for a day every year? But you're right, I was an extremely angry person back then. Many years of therapy and deliberate ongoing work and I'm a radically different man. Thank goodness I got to the other side.
- reaperducer 7mo agoWould you be annoyed if HN went offline just for the hell of it for a day every year? No. Not even a little. HN is not food. HN is not water. HN is not my family or my job or in any way vital to my life. It's an amusement. A diversion. I am not a FOMO victim.
