You're overthinking it. Well, it's in the name right? Its not safe for work. I'm in a semi-full conference room currently, and opening the link would be a bit awkward, as it would be really out of context for osmeone who have a view onto my screen.

It was definitely a valid remark, and in this case, it was useful at least for me.



I disagree that they're overthinking it, and you haven't addressed (or perhaps you overlooked?) their main point, that if this is true then you should have thought about that before opening _this_ link, instead of the links on this page.

This is more to say that this is a disagreement between you two at the object level, not someone overthinking a simple matter.


Then why don't you just work at work? Is it not awkward if your open a live gaming stream at work?


Reading HN is a normal thing to do in a lot of workplaces.


Especially in a conference room; OMG the boredom. I'd always try to bring a technical manual or something, for when I got tired of being "a good boy."
