This shouldn't be downvoted. There is definitely at the minimum Microsoft employee vote brigading at this point. HN needs to start making upvotes, downvotes, and time of vote publi…

Ban breeding. There are plenty of dogs available for adoption. Once we run out of those we can reconsider the ban. Pretty simple stuff.

Everyone quits at the same time. When they realize how much they owe in taxes or incur accidental cost like a car accident or a large maintenance bill to their home they were renti…

Oh god. You just turned a thread about startup opportunities into one about diet fad wackos. You even got the ball rolling with your silly carbohydrates comment. Ugh

Things feel more fun when you're drunk with other people. Having a drink or two isn't. In that case its just kind of relaxing. Takes the edge off if you are feeling anxious or stre…
