Because HN is a good distraction from that. Maybe I'm working on making it better and I haven't told you, or maybe I'm just a bum. Does it matter? It's a damn forum, we're all wasting time, that's the point?

I'm surprised how strongly people feel about that post.

You just said a whole bunch of people are lacking in empathy, and you're surprised people are reacting strongly?

Seems ironic.

I'm just surprised there is such a large contingent of hundred millionaire preppers and/or people who think they are going to live forever and don't see how that could be interpreted as lacking empathy, when there are (as the previous poster pointed out), people dying of starvation.
