I hated that shit. I'd load Slashdot and there was no real content or it was difficult to find real news amongst all the crap. It's not funny. It's annoying.

Some of the april fools things can be annoying, but I have a big shrug for there being less real news for a day. Anything important will get through and most days don't have much interesting news anyway.

I feel bad for you. That's a lot of anger over virtually nothing.

Would you be annoyed if HN went offline just for the hell of it for a day every year?

But you're right, I was an extremely angry person back then. Many years of therapy and deliberate ongoing work and I'm a radically different man. Thank goodness I got to the other side.

		Would you be annoyed if HN went offline just for the hell of it for a day every year? No. Not even a little. HN is not food. HN is not water. HN is not my family or my job or in any way vital to my life. It's an amusement. A diversion. I am not a FOMO victim.
