Hacker News Reader

I keep in contact with everyone I want to and don't need facebook to do so. It's a bubble, albeit a billion+ user bubble.

The reality is that every second you spend on facebook you are dying and the faster you realize that the further into humanity's future you will reach.

We are always dying, and I doubt Facebook kills much faster than HN as most of the lethality comes from sitting still while reading. Of course, FB comes with extra stress for some, but I don't know how the cyber bullying on FB stacks up with the workplace rage from Excel.

I think you took him a little too literally.

It's true that sitting and reading isn't really going to help you live any longer. If you're going to read, however, you should at least get something meaningful out of it.

It may be different for some, but I get much more out of HN than I ever did when I used Facebook.
