Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

realistically, the attendees are likely not going to fully recover their eyesight.

Seems inappropriate to laugh about this. People spending a fortune on a worthless ugly monkey png deserve ridicule, but not permanent eye damage just because they went to a party with their fellow marks.

good call. I edited my post a little so hopefully it reflects my point better — eyes are delicate as fuck, and it’s very foolish for yuga labs and some of their bagholders to try and minimize how dangerous this situation was, since getting timely medical care after severe eye damage is crucial if you want to keep your sight (I may have some recent experience with that last part)
