ilololed··on Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?
Exactly, so if you're well, but then you contract a chronic illness, one that leaves you in constant pain, you'll eventually "return to your own previous happiness level" right? So no big deal?

Excellent point: conservative television empire Sinclair Broadcast Group writes a lot of talking points for local affiliates.

No wonder Trump loved them so much:

> So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke.

Not to worry, the hedonic treadmill means they'll be just as happy as everyone else! (right?)

Terrible straw man. The OP themselves explains why spam is much more than "doing regular business:"

> I was told that cold emails are just what B2B companies do and that it is widely accepted, [...] but it just doesn't feel right to me. For me personally, I hate cold emails. I associate it with spam. Do unto others, and all that. I actually hate spam emails so much that I made a custom email service to help combat it.
