Maybe they get so much value out of it that they’re willing to pay $1.4b in fines?

Suspicious Facebook Behavior

I created a Facebook account to join a private group. A day after creating the account, they suspended it, claiming it “didn’t follow community standards on account integrity and authentic identity.” I had to upload a selfie, which I did. After two days, they reactivated my account and apologized for the inconvenience. Two days later, they suspended my account again for the same reason. Now, I...

Re:I am a heroin user. I do not have a drug problem on Thursday February 18, 2021 @08:25AM (#26179515)
I don't drink alcohol. The best advocates of drug use are drug users. They're quite passionate about it. Where I come from, they make fun of you if you don't drink and sing a song about how you're "too weak to drink." Every occasion calls for a drink: childbirth, Friday, getting married, getting divorced. It is so common that you're the weird one for not drinking.

>When you’re at a wedding reception, alcohol serves as a social lubricant. People are more gregarious. They talk, they interact. The same is true with cocaine at parties, heroin among friends, or opium among friends, NDMA among lovers. It enhances empathy, openness, and forgiveness, all of these pro-social attributes.

Please, don't take this horrible advice. Drugs are harmful and can do fatal damage to you and those around you. I mean, is this guy advocating drug use? It sounds like he wants to justify his dependency.

>Not because he was a pornographer, but simply because he did what he pleased and fought like hell to protect that right.

That's what's wrong with the "free" world. If something's legal doesn't mean it's moral.

He did what he pleased for sure, but at what expense. Many would argue he contributed to objectifying women. There's always a flip side.

I’m currently reading Feeling Good (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0380810336). It was recommended by someone here on HN. I’m half way through and I’d dare to say it’s already changing my life for the better.

Re:Ask HN: What do you do when have free time? on Wednesday November 13, 2019 @01:39AM (#21521651)
100% this.

I luckily dodged a burnout just in time. Symptoms were insomnia, thinking I wasn’t good enough and bursts of anger.

My problem was thinking about work and getting better at my craft all the time. I didn’t take time for myself, didn’t exercise and had a bad diet.

But it’s hard to convince someone to take care of themselves. Sometimes you have to hit the ground.

I used "I'm" four times in a span of three sentences. Facepalm.

I'm interested in early-stage startups or "Day 1" companies. Although I'm most experienced in writing code, I'm also interested in the people and the business side of things. I'm more of a generalist than a specialist.

This is what I meant yes. I'm not a native English speaker, so I might've screwed that one up.
