If I assume women like me, but I'm not getting laid, then I have only myself to blame, and that doesn't feel good. But my pride isn't so attached to the amount of gay sex I'm having.

I'd been reading your site for a few weeks before I realized they were recycled comments. I like the idea of culling the ones that read like little essays. I just assumed that was your goal.
Plus, having a blog on its own domain is easier than giving everyone a link to http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=edw519, which is awkward, and which includes the clutter of shorter comments, other people's comments, up/down arrows, etc.
1. When I read, I'm interested in an author, not an author's readers. (But the links back to HN are good in case I want that.) As in the last paragraph of this article: http://daringfireball.net/2010/06/whats_fair
2+3. I prefer reading one post at a time, with a straightforward ToC. Tags are distracting. If I'm looking for a post on a certain topic, I use a search engine.
4. Even if the title's lame at first, it can become cool if comes to stand for something good.

The point of this article seems to be: people believe scotch has more alcohol than it does, so you can drink less without their pressuring you into drinking more.
Obviously you could just have a water
This is more about hacking other people than it is about diet. Managing other people's impressions of you without having to be upfront about what you're doing.
