> Well I'm 41 and have kids, so your age card is poorly played. Most people of my generation spend their life on social media, I know that for a fact.

I wasn't playing an "age card" - I was adding context to why I don't use social media. Also I think you missed the part where I said:

I'm sure yours (and a many other peoples) experience will differ but my point is you shouldn't generalise that adults spend a lot of time on social media because that isn't always true.

> Speaking of the milage, I took the liberty to glance at your HN account stats. You appear to be a more prolific poster than I am, even though my account is couple years older.

I'd already addressed that point in my post: Yes I do spend a lot of time on HN. But only 5 minutes here and there during the week when I need a proverbial cigarette break. I don't generally use HN during the weekend. The fact I post a lot is really more a symptom of how opinionated I am rather than how much time I spend on HN.

> People in 21st century first world have a lot of disposable time. They also complain most about lack of it.

You cannot generalise like that. Some people need to work multiple jobs just to keep their family fed and housed. Others - like me - have long commutes and busy homes to manage. You want to know my weekly schedule?

    06:00 get up and showered for work
    06:45 drive to train station
    07:00 catch train
    08:15 arrive in office
    16:15 leave for the evening
    18:45 get home, bath kids, read them a story then put them to bed
    20:00 do house work
    20:30 cook dinner
    21:00 eat while chatting to wife or watching some crap on TV
    21:30 down time
    22:00 bed

Granted that 30 minute downtime can be longer and shorter some days depending on how late I go to bed or how much housework we need to do. But I still wouldn't call that "lots of disposable time". The train to work is my disposable time and that's limited by what I can do on the train - which is usually sleeping because my youngest still wakes up multiple times a night (aghhh!)

I wouldn't say I'm unique either nor that I don't have a lucky life (I have a family who love me, a good job, nice house in a good area and enough disposable income to afford a few luxuries). However I don't take kindly to people who assume that I have lots of disposable time. My kids or catching up on sleep is my disposable time and I get very little left after that.

So I suggest you don't make assumptions about other peoples lifestyles based off your own. It's a diverse world out there ;)
