Ok I like that, its just the term rejection has a common us versus them connotation in the US.

Creator here. Sorry if that wasn't clear! I only meant this to be inspiring for people to "keep trying" even when they face rejection!

Yea its quite cute!(Not meant to be condescending)

The site loads them in random order and I read about how someone was nervous during an interview and faults the interviewers and a few other more sour ones first. lol sorry.

I've lived in the US my whole life and I don't accept this connotation.

'Rejection' is just rejection. Sometimes it's personal, sometimes it's not.

lol I'm from the US and have lived here for most of my life. Its probably true in most cultures. Hacker news has a pretty international audience, so I try to tailor my generalizations to my own home country.
