In all fairness, the internet is for many people a near 100% part of their life.

Especially for people working remotely without a family.

Well, my nonprofessional opinion about those is, that no amount of therapy can help here, when their problem is isolation and the cure living close to people they like.

(But therapy might help them getting there again. True eremits by heart are rare)

HN is like 70% of my life.

I also spend what feels to me like a lot of time here. I like it, despite its problems. But HN isn't good enough to deserve to be 70% of anyone's life. :(

I agree, but it's 12:10 PM, and I am in my third meeting, pretending to pay attention. I wish the job market improved.

Have you tried tobacco, indoor firearms and cocaine?

Oh … never mind.

I have always worked remote and been hermitting recently on a difficult set of (work) challenges.

I don’t know what I would do without HN.

I read a lot of science, math and tech news, but am only aware of one place where the discourse around topics that interest me has the quality of HN, which is HN.
