In my case the turning point of roach infestation in the late 80s was not something I have memories of so I was curious what it was like to live through. They touched on an important point, I think, where the widespread nuclear anxiety from the cold war and national pervasive roach anxiety began to dissipate at about exactly the same time.

If your time is so valuable, why are you spending it creating throwaway accounts just to hate on somebody else's content? If you don't like it, just move on. You're not adding anything to the conversation here.

There's an incredible recurring phenomenon of people registering throwaway accounts on HN to talk shit while also claiming that they "don't care" about the topic. The irony is stupefying.
