Sorry the world isn&amp;#x27;t the way you really really want it to be.&lt;p&gt;The guy seems to be interpreting a lot of his examples in the worst possible light, too.  Example:
  Q: Is there space set up for hacking?
  A: We have done this for previous conferences, but to be honest people were having too much social fun to really take advantage of the space.
  Translation: Y U NO DRINKING!?&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a stupid translation.  They set up hacking space before and very few people used it, so they didn&amp;#x27;t bother this time.  You have your cause and effect backwards if you think this means they&amp;#x27;re trying to force you to drink.&lt;p&gt;Or: &amp;quot;Perks for working for them include dental coverage, and &amp;#x27;weekly happy hour&amp;#x27;. Those who don&amp;#x27;t want to participate in getting sloshed regularly... need not apply?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Jesus, dude, settle down.  You&amp;#x27;ve taken a perk of employment and turned it into a statement that if you don&amp;#x27;t drink you&amp;#x27;re not welcome?  Please let go of your persecution complex.  I know it&amp;#x27;s really fun to be indignant that others encouraging you to have a good time is so totally unfair, but it&amp;#x27;s really no different than people saying &amp;quot;No seriously, The Wire is fucking fantastic!  You have to watch it!&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Interacting with humans isn&amp;#x27;t that hard if you allow yourself and others to actually act like humans.</text><parent_chain><item><author>lucaspiller</author><text>Agreed.&lt;p&gt;Further reading: &lt;a href=&quot;http://old.ryanfunduk.com/culture-of-exclusion/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;old.ryanfunduk.com&amp;#x2F;culture-of-exclusion&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></item><item><author>teddyh</author><text>The title “Cocktails for programmers” gives me the same feeling as would the phrase “Leaf blowers for stamp collectors”.&lt;p&gt;Yes, a stamp collector might use a leaf blower, but it would not be relevant to collecting stamps.
