No matter if you think we're in a bubble or if this valuation supports your view that we are in a bubble, at the end of the day we are all losers who have decided to spend our precious time on a Friday night glued to HN.

It’s Saturday morning for me in Thailand right now. I’m gonna drive a bit around on the 2nd hand motorcycle I bought this week - my own very first motorcycle. Lots of fun!
What model motorcycle did you get?
Honda CB300F. It’s an excellent beginner motorcycle.
Congrats and be safe!
I'm flying to Thailand tomorrow. Feel free to DM me if you wanna connect :)
Where ya at in Thailand?
I stay in Mea Thalop, a small village near amphur Chaiprakan in the Chiang Mai province. Close to the border with Myanmar.

Next Friday I plan to do the 2-3 hour trip on motorcycle to Chiang Mai city. It’s through a mountainous snake road and with good weather very beautiful to drive.

Covid makes it harder to be someone who has plans on a Friday night. Don't be so hard on yourself, it gets better.
I was on hacker news on a Friday night long before Covid! And I likely will be after as well.
I was thinking about writing that it gets better, but its too presumptuous when you dont know someone’s life circumstance.

If they aren’t of a mind stable enough to stay on this plane of existence, don’t not not stay.

Yeah dude I gotta quit this and my other forums lol. I spend so much time reading about stuff and trying to learn... instead of chilllin.
Same here. I convince myself by saying, hey this is not reddit or some sportsforum or <insert-forum-here> but this is probably a worse form of procrastination. At least when I visit /r/nba or espncricinfo, I can relax a bit and just enjoy.
The "noprocrast", "maxvisit", and "minaway" settings in your profile are meant to help with that.

They're for limiting your max amount of time on HN in a single stretch. :)

Talk about yourself, I am waiting for my build to finish compiling... (seriously)

while checking out HN, TikTok, Clubhouse and Facebook at the same time

dang should offer us an easy way to delete account and anonymize comments. I don't know why there's no such option (other than of course dropping the email).
I think it is so that you take care with what you post - it will be readable forever and someone who goes looking for you online may be able to link your profile to your posts by the details you divulge

It gets worse. Many of us are probably reading HN while listening to Clubhouse at the same time.

What are you listening to on there? I never have any idea what to do with the app
People in other parts of the world are not in your timezone fyi.
I'm in the bath relaxing and learning. How u doin'
I've got a 9 month old. when she sleeps, I'm catching up on the week
It's Saturday afternoon, I've already driven to another town to inspect a car and purchased and planted 10 trees today. Speak for yourself.
I swear I was just thinking the same thing :(
