> posting up to the very end

8 days ago he posted a random comment about housing in Austin. So mundane.

Life and death are strange. I'm embarrassed to know that if I had 1 month to live, I'd probably still spend a couple of hours a day watching random youtube videos and commenting on meaningless HN and reddit threads.



> meaningless HN and reddit threads

Maybe they aren't so meaningless. Congregating in public forums to exchange ideas is something humans have done for millennia. I should hope that, amid the noise, we find value in the conversations here and leave a bit more enlightened or entertained.


It's not meaningless if it makes you happy. Otherwise, everything on this planet is meaningless.
