I always forget that we're not quite the normal crowd here in Hacker News. I think I need to stop reading so many comments on this site. Trying to convince me that I'm a sociopath for posting my grandma's obituary on my timeline.

> Posting it to social media, then thinking if whoever doesn’t contact you to… what? “Sorry for your loss”? “My condolences” … hurts your relationship with that person?

That's not what anyone said, you're out here fighting ghosts.

> And if someone doesn't reach out, it will hurt the relationship a little even if I'm not conscience of it because when I think of people who were there for me during a tough time, the friend who never knew my parent died wouldn't come to mind.

No, it's not. It's more like an online bookstore mailing you a copy of a book for free. The only catch is that they also sent a book full of ads and directions that say: after every page of the book, look at an ad. Then, when I receive these, I don't even take the ad book out of the package, read the actual book, and send them both back.

You can imagine why Amazon never decided to go with this business model.

> the ones that have managed to take advantage of the massive financialization of the world

This group is further split into two kinds of people: Those who had an opportunity to take advantage of the massive financialization of the world, and those who weren't afforded that opportunity.

>I can second Vancouver, and will raise you any big city in the USA

I'll reraise you any decent size college town in the US as well.

Heck, I'm in Iowa and there's plenty of raves in the middle of nowhere here.

> Home office nudges towards isolation and lack of physical activity

You say this as if it's a fact, but with an extra 1-3 hours of my day freed up, it's a lot easier to get into the gym or visit my friends and family. Personally, I was more active and less isolated when I worked from home.

Yeah, I'm thinking you're right.

In my experience (American), the top 1-4 results are ads/sponsored links. Sometimes, very relevant to the search. Most of the time, not what I'm looking for.

I only use google search on my phone because I have a pixel, and the google searchbar is so well integrated into the launcher. If I don't like the results, I can just open a new tab and the default search is DuckDuckGo. Besides the ads, I'd say the searches are usually the same quality.

Rural Iowa here. I've seen them in populations as big as 30,000 (Mason City, Iowa for example)

Bitwarden also stores authenticator keys for MFA and passkeys. The custom fields, notes section, and attachments are invaluable to me as well.

I'm curious, how would looking at the Microsoft MFA app convince me that android apps aren't spying on me?

> I'm not sure I'd give the student a 0.

Completely agree with you on all of it, but, to let you know, sometimes there are school-wide policies on plagiarism that teachers have to follow. My highschool made teachers give an automatic 0 for any plagiarism.

Was this a PE owned vet clinic? They're much more common today and the practices have slowly become more predatory.
