This is what soy does to people.

The one sentence you posted doesn't advance the conversation very much. I'd suggest adding a few sentences to clarify what point you're making, and to help make it.

He's probably referring to Wheaton being a frequent photoshopped meme target and a posterboy for "anti-soy movement" from the depths of 4chan et al.

So what do you guys think: hunter-gatherers, then feudal farmers and then now - how does median/average suffering per capita compare? We all have better luxuries now than kings had hundreds of years ago. Less famine, life threatening situations and so on. But we do have a way to compare ourselves with best parts of lives of many interesting people around the world. We have antibiotics and painkillers, but we also see…

I'm glad a celebrity is willing to come out and talk about this stuff, it makes me feel less insane for suffering through it myself. But there's not much actual advice here. It sounds like the main thing that helped him were pills. Also: > as a white, heterosexual, cisgender man in America, I live life on the lowest difficulty setting What a pathetic, and wholly incorrect thing to say.

> as a white, heterosexual, cisgender man in America, I live life on the lowest difficulty setting >What a pathetic, and wholly incorrect thing to say. It's disgusting.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN.

This guy has a lot of stories about how Shatner was rude to him without cause. Well he has turned into shatner and is rude without cause to many people, including myself. I now think his real psychological problem is that he’s a sociopathic narcissist and this entire article is just manipulation. Wow, downvoted and flagged Within literally 5 seconds of posting.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have a link or name of the cartoon?

This was the one. I still think the version in my head is better.
