hacker news

A website where unsuccessful entrepreneurs with egos waste time browsing articles and websites, created by wanna-be entrepreneurs with even bigger egos who are trying to build a following.

A place unknown to financially successful entrepreneurs.

Hey Mr. Cuban, did you see that post on Hacker News? <crickets>

Hacker News

A website where over enthusiastic programmers and entrepreneurs ("hackers", as they call it) gather and rediscover old ideas thinking they are novel and congratulate each other in the process. They have "curious" conversations, which is a euphemism for a contest of who can use the most convoluted sequence of words to describe terrible ideas that go nowhere. They share articles and news stories with each other, with the added flavor of grandiose commentary. There is ritual of babysitting new users and reminding them to be gentle and not commit heinous acts such as challenging their terrible ideas.

OMG, I can't stop laughing at this comment thread on Hacker News. Are these people serious?

Hacker News

A BIFI website run by faggots and populated by faggots and faggot wannabes, who think being a hacker is “cool”; not realizing that hackers are the lowest form of techy existence and are always lower than dirt.

Dade: Look at this Jonny! Hackers have shared code on Hacker News on how to program a butt plug!
Jonny: Wow! Let's get f*cked in the a$$! Hacking is f*cking COOL!!!

Hacker News

A shitty company run by Indians that offers Indian service in America. 'Nuff Said!

Tommy: So, this Hacker News website looks like it's from the 80's. Yes, I mean from before the Internet was born.
Jonathan: That's because it was created by Indians. It's as ugly as Bollywood movies, what else did you expect?

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
