Yes but you haven't said anything tangible. This does nothing for people suffering from lack of fundamental necessities. How much hubris do you need to completely skip our planet and get right to fantasy? I'd get it if we were all

This is no different than my Father coming home every night without food telling us the same thing, that when he wins big we'll have all the bread in the world. He never won, then he died. People wasting time on things that have an ext

It's life changing being notification-free (only email + text). I used to have my phone loaded to the brim with apps, now I use maybe 3 or 4 apps regularly tops. Hell, I'm even debating going back to a super barebones flip phone.

Trying to find solutions to the problem is fundamentally different than accepting the problem and finding a way to deal with it. It's the acceptance that kills me, because it validates the problem.

Yeah, so don't seek jobs at shitty places. Yeah yeah yeah the whole "beggars can't be choosers thing". Unless the telemarketer is literally your only option whatsoever, then I'm sure you have a choice of flipping bu

My mentality going in is "please give me a reason to walk away". The few that don't are always surprising offers and get me excited. I go in determined to find a reason to walk away.

I wouldn't even know where to start to be completely honest.

Quoting Family Guy and Charles Manson in the same sentence should be grounds for a state sponsored lobotomy.

>False. Trolls derive joy from the grief of others that they have inflicted. That's what trolling is. See also: Sadism You are trying to frame something fundamentally illogical, logically. Trolling just is. It's narcissism at i

A real troll you wouldn't even know. The idea is to get your entire mentality in the tip of their finger so they can wind you up and down whenever they need to.

Some people just like it. It's not an addiction, there's no "reason", it's just fun to be a dick online. Why does nobody ever think of this? There always has to be some sort of grand underlying psychological reason.

Enable sourcemaps, click on the selector, and it literally tells you what line to edit. Then go to sublime, cmd+p -> filename:line number -> enter. in 5 seconds you went from finding a css problem and finding its exact line. What that

Exactly. Read my latest post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10976903 . I hate the culture/environment of co-working spaces. I don't understand why people are so opposed to working from home, they automatica

Yes, in my hobbies. Work is a context where I have to force myself regardless of how I feel or I get fired. Motivating yourself to be equally disciplined in your hobbies where there is no incentive to do so is much more difficult. Stop atte

I don't want to magically be the only one who gets to be special and work from home. There's only a few of us, we're in a shared office with our laptops. They've also voiced their discontent.

I currently only have one chip, which is the pay cut I took to work here. If I use that chip right away, it screams entitlement, which is only compounded by my age. I need to finish the rest of their product and really wrap everything up an

I converted a crappy old PHP code base to a modern one by breaking down their product and re-building it, re-using assets as I needed. It took a lot of time and extra work but I did just that. You flatter me by thinking that comment comes f

>You will need to get used to this. No, I won't, because I've already had two roles that match my criteria, and the conditions at this job don't warrant a mandatory 8 hours per day. We're not doing repetitive tasks

It is, he's just finding reasons to be an asshole. It's only tough because people like him make it needlessly tough due to some inferiority complex.

Zuckerberg has spawned a new era of addiction that we haven't fully realized yet because we are still living in it and have yet to see the outcomes. Facebook is a net negative for society. Social media has replaced the really terrible
