Unfortunately, you can't apply the "garbage" filter a priori. You have to make a guess, follow it or don't, and learn later how good your guess was.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, and so will posting shallow dismissals of other people's work.
If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and recalibrate how you're posting to this site, we'd appreciate it.

#9335. Women can be as horny and lonely as men and all you need to do is talk to them to meet them. This was a revelation to me in my early-thirties.
>This was a revelation to me in my early-thirties Have you considered that this had less to do with how you acted but more with your marked value increasing and there's decreasing?
Ah, yes, thanks - good to remember some folks think women stop having “value” at 30ish, and still, somehow, feel comfortable posting that publicly.

#94"Eating meat is quite clearly immoral. Unless it will be detrimental to your health, eat as little as possible." lol

#96> Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. The funny thing I find about criticism is that you actually don’t have a choice about whether or not it affects your future actions. Criticism that I have dismissed has persistently come back to haunt me, perhaps via my subconscious.
Heh. This is why there's no need to win arguments.

#97This is well done. I can't say I agree with all of them, but I agree with the fact that you sat down and thought about them, and that you wrote them down. Good job. > Adults make a lot more sense when you realise they're just children in big bodies. That one, I absolutely agree with. I'm 55. I would have a hard time limiting myself to 55 things I wish I knew when I was 34. When I'm 105, I still will have too many for…
This one made me chuckle, so true!

#98Everything has an end. Only the sausage has two.
But what of the cumberland ring sausage, spherical Sai krok Isan from Thailand, or the legendary Zirkelwurst?

#99> One day – probably somewhere between 28 and 38 – you'll wake up and just feel 'off'. A bit sore. A bit tired. That feeling will never leave you. Be grateful for your youth while you have it. This happened when I was 20. I don't know what else to say other than, it fucking sucks.
I remember thinking this after my 6th birthday. I must have picked it up from what adults around me were saying, but I just thought to myself "I guess this is what it's like getting older. When I was 5, I'd have just went up and down that slide all day. Now, I just don't have the energy."
I was convinced! That pervasive optimism has stayed with me throughout life, too. Lucky.

Author telling on himself here
Totally! There's this one guy that used to be a regular of tech events where I live. He was building some sort of crappy luma clone. Anyway, one day out of nowhere he posts on LinkedIn "PSA to girls, when at a conference, we are not reading your name tag, we are looking at your breasts[1]", and then some bizarre argumentation of how if we all used his app this would stop. He was trying to sound like an "ally". I'm no…
You wouldnt think thats cringe if you just used his app. Kind of your fault when you think about it.
