hhjjkkll··on Why is chicken so cheap? [video]
Anecdotal, but from watching food/travel videos on YT, meat in general outside of the U.S. tend to taste better too apparently.
hhjjkkll··on Ask HN: Should I quit my job?
Try to negotiate to change to a part-time position at the same company you're at right now. Or start looking for a different job elsewhere which will give you part-time hours, which will free up more time for you to work on your side project while also having a stable supply of income for yourself/your gf.

In the mean time, I believe you need to revamp your diet and keep up with your gym activities. If you eat well and keep working out, you may become strong enough to handle this current workload and still be able to work on your project.

I wish you the best.

hhjjkkll··on If your website's full of assholes, it's your fault (2011)
Love your illustration/depiction of an unmoderated online cesspit. Would you like to donate your mind so that we can create the ultimate 4chan poster AI? /joke
hhjjkkll··on How to get every email returned
They may have had bad experiences with asking questions before, it's not that unnormal for certain communities to have a culture around shaming newbies for asking questions. They feel like they have to ask to test the waters before jumping into it. I don't blame them.

How do us meatbags compete with this?
hhjjkkll··on Why Fiction Beats Truth
I find memes to be often low effort half/quarter-truths or no truth at all and their humor lies within the irony that they aren't true at all. What is the impact on society when people in masses are consuming and entertaining themselves with this "content"?
hhjjkkll··on The Surprising Benefits of Relentlessly Auditing Your Life
"I want to work out and be in great shape."

This is really vague actually, and you could chase that goal forever. I need you to set a small goal, like being able to do 50 pushups and then train specifically for that over the next few weeks whenever you can. Even if you don't become able to do 50 pushups, you'll have gotten slightly stronger along the way. Once you become stronger, you'll start feeling strong and motivated enough to do more stuff.

Set small goals that you can reasonably work toward and progress gradually. What do you mean by running? If you mean like running outside around your neighborhood, that's too easy to excuse yourself from by scapegoating the weather or that the time is bad. I recommend learning to skip/jump rope, which you can do without even leaving your home if you're feeling lazy. Once you get more fit with the jump rope, you'll be able to feel up for running when the opportunity does come instead of pushing it off.

Good luck!

hhjjkkll··on Self-distancing can help you make better decisions
>When we're too close to an issue, we process with our periaqueductal gray (key in pain inhibition) and not with the part of our brain more adept at strategizing.

This must be what happens when you think of a funny comeback or joke several hours after the opportunity to use it.

hhjjkkll··on The High Cost of Low-level Crime in San Francisco
I live by a similar mindset, but I do not think it should be like this. It feels like shit, that I have to think of other humans with such a distrust and fear. I'm very envious of homogenous cultures like Japan where you can leave a bike unlocked outside of a store you're shopping at without it being stolen within 10 minutes.
hhjjkkll··on Apple removes game after Chinese company cloned, trademarked, requested takedown
> A US company with no connection whatsoever to my country or its indigenous people has trademarked our word for hello/greetings/life/health.

What's the word? Curious.

hhjjkkll··on Interview with Ren Zhengfei, Founder and CEO of Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei
What is disingenuous about my comment? I think you're reading a lot into it. I just don't think this video qualifies as an interview in my opinion. If Trump or some other polarizing figure were given a platform to say whatever he wants with no scrutiny, most would (rightfully) not consider that an interview either.
hhjjkkll··on Interview with Ren Zhengfei, Founder and CEO of Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei
This was an interview? Seems more like a very good PR piece for Huawei's CEO.
