prick

If you prick us, do we not bleed? etc.

As usual, Gruber seems like a bit of a prick.

Yeah, Chris seems a bit of prick: "Just the fact that you listed your emails says it all."

Christ, you sound like such an insufferable prick

Then below him is another Dean, who is a prick. He makes something like $280,000 and also doesn't do much at all.

The real sad bit is that prick just moved to another station. He's probably still trying to beat confessions out of kids right now.

In that 1 month, I had found out something about myself - that I was a royal prick. I was personally not cut out to do scut work.

Look at this quote: > nothing's _wrong_ with it, but I don't want to build my app on top of others' code who are at this level of understanding What a prick!

>All diabetics could now measure their glucose levels without having to take a finger-prick All of my investment dollars. Take them.

Wow, I've never said something like this on HN before, but unless undetected sarcasm is wooshing over my head: what a prick.

FYI I'm not posting this comment to be a prick–rather it's a thought exercise. If you want companies to purchase from startups more often, stop trying to convince them why they should and start addressing the reasons why they don't.

A group of people will go out, and unanimously decide to prick and pinch and swipe their glass worship stones instead of having a fucking conversation or looking around them. This is everywhere.

And then you get sent off into that world, ready to be an entitled prick and piss off everyone around you who has actually experienced the real thing. People who will laugh at your frameworks and your theories, because they've heard them from the last 20,000 MBAs who came before you.

Could anyone possibly be more of a self-interested, myopic, egocentric prick? My rock-bottom opinion of pretty much anyone who has anything to do with active SEO is re-confirmed for the thousandth time.

I'll take this one step further, and say that one of the reasons people attempt to be kind and pleasant and, you know, not a prick, is that people respect and like you and want to help and support you. I bet this thread wouldn't have happened/would've gone differently if Dustin's much-cherished "brand" didn't revolve around his being a dick.

Even though I mostly disagree with the man's politics, I must say that it takes a smart prick to make a contextually accurate and funny joke in a foreign language at an indecisive moment like that.

\n5- many people don't know that you can already get lab tests done on finger stick blood, ie prick your finger at home and mail in the blood or take it to participating Walmarts. The reason for this, I suspect, is that the companies that do this are not headed by an attractive blond woman and enveloped in the shroud of mystery of a Silicon Valley.

Being a moralising prick is easy, after all, when stacked up against children starving in Somalia, almost any other use of money that doesn't pertain to basic survival can be viewed as frivolous. His apology post is basically nothing more than a "Sorry you all got upset about it, if I'd know you cared that much I wouldn't have done it".

Being a subversive undemocratic prick is being a subversive undemocratic prick whether you do it to US citizens or to Chinese university backbone router users. Also, Ecuador's status as free/not free is a red herring - he should be granted asylum simply so that he can avoid being tortured while in US custody, something they have demonstrated they are more than willing to do to leakers.

The constraints I am thinking of are purely technical, a particular server/client split, so when I say you can not do X it is not merely me being an academic prick, it is because it is actually impossible to do X because at the time your code runs you are literally in the wrong place. Explaining this fact is easy, but explaining how the system conceptually wraps around this constraint and works the way it does is a challenge.

As someone with a friend who, in a different state and different circumstances, foolishly was detained on a road trip in a state with a strict no-tolerance policy, was subsequently arrested and tried by some small prick DA in the middle of nowehre to teach a lesson with his "sorry, I don't make exceptions because we want to look hard on drugs" apologism, I hope decriminalization succeeds at least in the short term. That friend had trouble finding work and grad school for years because this haunted him, and everyone asks in advance about your criminal record.
