You brought up the broad concept of 'feminism' as an example and your comment was about people who go to either extreme, so I think I took your comment as being more anti-feminism then you meant it (no ingenuous meant to be dis'ed). I agree with your idea of how some people change beliefs but still keep the same extreme attitude.

because the idea that women should get to work and vote isn't a far-left idea

I'll keep that in mind next time an non-economist posts something here about bitcoin

whole lotta people on this "hacker news" website that love to say authority shouldn't be questioned

I think you need to take a break, like other people have said, and reconnect with friends. If you can't visit them, at least email them and ask how they're doing. It seems like a lot of your self-image is wrapped up in being a software creator, and I think you need to decouple it more. I understand how you're under pressure now, like you're looking at each project like it might be the thing that gets you noticed, but you're just compounding the stress on yourself.

Take a break. Think about what you really want to do, and how support from others is necessary. The great founder myth obscures how everyone needs support and encouragement from others to keep going.

You're not too old. Don't compare where you are with where you 'should' be, because I think you have an unrealistic image of where you should be. Any success you have now won't live up to that image, and you'll beat yourself up again and again. You gotta break out of that cycle.

Your parents probably see how unhappy you are, and are trying to guide you to a path where they think you can be happy. They're probably wrong, but I bet they want the best for you and are trying to help in the ways they know how. They're probably frustrated themselves and all that, but go give them some thanks.

You're gonna do okay.

But, it's a fictional story. I can make up a fictional story to demonstrate anything, regardless if it's true in the real world.

I thought this was a fictional story.

It's like talking to a climate-change denier.

If 8chan didn't keep calling the police on people, I think it would probably get a lot less heat. You can't claim to be all for free speech, then say it's okay to call the police on somebody who said something you didn't like.

The initial scandal was Zoe Quinn's ex posting a long rambling screed about his breakup, designed to get people to attack her. http://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/the-man-who-sparked-...

I've seen a lot of big-hearted attempts to bring Hypercard back. I haven't seen a convincing (to me) analysis of why it sputtered out in the first place. Without that knowledge, I don't think any resuscitations can succeed.

go cry about women somewhere else

There are several endings and side branches. If you've only played it once, try it again. Also, hit up the kitchen right after dinner.
