Wow...one of the comments on there says "now I know you were fired for being a pussy."

Some days I think it would be nice to be able to punch someone in the face through the screen.

Can we please focus on thoughtful conversation instead of importing the worst comments from other forums*?

Not to judge the feeling you express - I'm sure we can all relate. But as an HN comment it's pretty well guaranteed to turn the thread away from good places.

(* I suppose I'm more sensitive about this since the episode I wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48427800 ("in one case I saw"))

I think the full text of that is even worse:

> You had my sympathy until you mentioned your healing. Now I know you were fired for being a pussy.

I was expecting some more substantial motivation for that but it's not even motivated by some weird disagreement about acceptable behavior at work, it's just this weird insanely toxic belief that taking care of yourself is "pussy behavior".

It's twitter right? Ever since a billionaire bought it it went downhill.
