alt Hacker NewsThis is a very uncharitable take IMO that veers into (I’m assuming unintentional) snobbery. Some people just have a routine or whatever that helps them get through the workday. My taste gets a lot simpler when I’m at work for sure. I really enjoy putting on shows I’ve already watched a dozen times, regardless of quality.
Dumb people also exist. It's okay for a person to be dumb. Thats just how it is sometimes.
The HN crowd tends to filter out lower IQ people from their social circles so that it's easy to forget this simple fact about humanity.
