Comment on Show HN: Get notified when grocery pickup slots are availableparent

Kind of glum. How about: the rich are donating to those in need, the coders are creating tools to help others, the tall are handing items to others that can’t reach. Life isn’t fair and we should help others when it is not self destructive.

Sure, but

"Life isn't fair and you should expect people to avail themselves of any tools to help themselves that are not wantonly destructive to the society at large."

You have to expect the worst, because if 99% of people are sound and generous and kind the other 1% will still screw things up and force others to compete on their level.

I didn't WANT to write a scraper to try to get an immigration appointment so I could stay in my country, but other people did (and then started selling the appointments), so I did too because otherwise I'd have to give a scalper money.

Sooner or later someone was going to write this. I suspect many others already have.

Well that's a beautiful comment and might change my perspective on things. Thanks.
