Cat in question https://ibb.co/ZVfjzB3

This cat is so high quality that it changes my reaction of the situation from empathetic and concerned to optimistic and impressed. I think there is nothing heartbreaking about your situation if you're dropping cats of this caliber to anonymous door notes.

Agreed no-one who can draw this level of cat deserves our sympathy.

Excellent cat A++++++++ would pet. Agree with sibling, this is the only good subthread in this trash fire.

Cat made my day the rest of this thread is a dumpster fire

Couldn't agree more with you. It's been pretty eye opening to me just how toxic the general dude-bro workaholic culture in Silicon Valley / tech is. There is just astounding levels of lack of empathy amongst so many commenters here.

So glad I never moved to the West coast when I had the chance. Instead I get to live in a nice spacious house with a half-acre lot, a fenced in yard to enjoy with my kids and dog, and work at a great small-business/startup in ML with great colleagues, excellent work-life balance, and the main company motto being - Don't hire assholes, and don't work for assholes. It's been working fantastic for several years now!

Hey, that's pretty good!

Thanks!

When did HN start pulling in comment threads from reddit? ;)

Very much

Thanks for sharing the cat sketch bit. It reminded me of some great times.

I am a recent empty nester. I don't like it much.
