After watching Putin's first interview in two years, I naturally turned to Hacker News (HN) to gauge public opinion. However, to my surprise, I found no discussion whatsoever. Whether biased or not, this interview marks a significant event, yet it seems HN, typically a vibrant hub for diverse discussions, remains silent.

If I overlooked the conversation elsewhere, I'd appreciate being directed to it and apologize for any redundancy. However, if there truly isn't a discussion, it begs the question: has HN become so polarized that it shies away from engaging with viewpoints that challenge the status quo?

Before someone dismisses this as purely a tech community, let's remember that HN has historically delved into political matters, evidenced by the extensive discourse surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which garnered over 1800 comments. Yet, a mere mention of Putin's interview yields only two comments.

It's a disheartening observation, prompting reflection on the dynamics of online discourse and the potential erosion of open dialogue within communities like HN

How do people here even make time for dating in the first place? At least for me atm, doing part time graduate school, job, and interview prep, I feel so burned out after it that I don't want to do anything

And I'm probably not even in as deep as some people here, some of this computer stuff is so ridiculously time consuming. I'm not even working on anything remotely hard, but still: how the hell do you make time? Without sacrificing your own projects?

It's something I've been thinking about for a while now. How do all of the people maintaining all of this hard, important shit get to where they are and still manage to have some semblance of a life? Not only just maintaining the stuff, but learning all of the background necessary to get there

It all boils down to priorities in life at that moment
