Warning, graphic pictures of dead children in this post. Not safe for mind or work. It is horrifying. Posts like these are why I stopped using reddit, because "surprise! Here's a horrible picture, now feel like shit for the rest of the week/month/forever!"
If there were some place else to get programming or startup news like you can get here I would never come back. I wish there were such a place or that HN stopped allowing politics and NSFL stuff like this.
- josephlord 13y agoNow the link title and site don't give you any useful information about the topic it is fair but the photo is not a graphic one of the children. I fear that if you sanitise your life to the extent of avoiding such photos you risk a severe shock at some point and possibly in real life. The graphic part is the visible emotions of those in the crowd. Looking at your posting history you submitted a before and after [edit: Google Earth satellite] photo of the earthquake in Japan 2011. To me that is far more shocking as I can't help but imagine briefly at the impact on those there, hundreds of children lost and others orphaned.
- btipling 13y agoYes, that wasn't a good submission by me. I aim to do better in the future.
- josephlord 13y agoI wasn't really complaining about that but more commenting on the range of what people feel shocking. The photo in this case was not in my view problematic. Death, pain and suffering happen all the time and while it shouldn't be fetishised it also doesn't seem a great idea to hide or deny it either.
