The way you mentally frame rejection is important. I found Rejection Therapy [1] to be effective at rewiring the brain's perception of rejection and not be attached to the outcome.

According to these folks, it's okay to have your own views and morals. That is, as long as it is politically correct.

A way out... For what? Standing up for his moral convictions?

Yes, "criminals" is much too harsh. Let's replace it with "unfortunately misguided souls xoxo".

I've largely moved on from HN anyway, and I've been way more productive. This should only help.

Who is the heir apparent for HN? Lobste.rs? Back to Slashdot?

It should be possible to endorse something without agreeing with it.

You honestly think that's going to happen? Thanks for the chuckle Paul.

Can you say groupthink? What a terrible idea. HN is going to suck even more now.

The best way to protest this idea is to ignore the site. Just ignore it and get some work done for a change.

Should be a law against crybabies like you? Yes!

This treatment of mice or any sentient being is cruel and inhumane. It should be criminal to conduct such experiments. I hope one day it is.

It's Yahoo news, what do you expect?

Very eager to get one. When are you opening up orders to Canada?

Bill Gates is an old fuddyduddy with too many friends in high places to ever side with Snowden. His answer isn't the least surprising.

Clever name, but are these images guaranteed to be SFW?

Gift of tongues. 1 Cor 14:1-40 KJV

I did. How about you do the same?

Right. I think this is what bothers me about this list. It's material driven. There's a saying that goes (paraphrasing) "don't wish for better circumstances, wish to be a better person."

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 KJV.

Jonathan, you and your family must look to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is your judge. Through Him all things are possible.

How do you set a stick bomb off? Is there a particular way?

There's also vow of now, the 30 Day meditation challenge: http://vowofnow.com

I hate trying to locate a slide projector and fumbling for the controller. It looks like PitchIt solves the problem with a more impromptu style presentation. I like it!

Correlation, causation, blah blah blah. There are people who pocketed a lot of taxpayer money creating the healthcare.gov failboat, and no one is being held accountable. That's my takeaway from the article.

If each point could be refuted, and an alternative explanation provided, would the OP listen anyway?

Is there a PayPal account people can send money to?

I thought I'd ask. Start the ball rolling.

Then there is Vow of Now: http://vowofnow.com

Different approach to the same problem.

The video is a classic. Here's what inspired him to do it: http://rejectiontherapy.com

The Russian people thought similarly in the 1920s about their letters and conversations - until in the dark of the night family members were dragged from their beds and deported to the Siberian tundras to die.

Cliche? No, it's a reminder Microsoft sells it's users down the river.

Maybe you don't, but some people actually speak up for their rights.

A lobster invite would be nice. Thanks in advance.

And then there is speciesism: http://i.word.com/idictionary/speciesism

The audio just kicks in without warning, as soon as the page loads. The year isn't 1997.

Why are there so many of the same kinds of apps if ideas are easy? I think "idea harvesting" is definitely something to be concerned about.
