A cost to coast drive in the US is something everyone should do at least once. I was able to drive the AlCan highway with a friend last spring, great memories.

It’s also very beautiful.
Hey friend. Long time lurker around here, created an account to reply here. I don't know. It's hard man. I know there are people in worse situations than me but it's hard anyway. Working from home since March. I spend all my day alone at home (with my cats). My GF arrives late and leaves early. She has to go to work everyday. I feel unmotivated. I'm not socializing, I'm getting fat, I'm slacking on my work. The worse…
It was funny (a sad funny!) to read this post since the summer festival I'm going to miss the most was the one put on by the local Portuguese/Azoran community. Hopefully it is ready for next year: http://feastoftheblessedsacramentcom.ning.com/
But either way, it's so cool to see portuguese communities outside here. Thanks for sharing! Hope you can be there next year :D

> My country is on the cusp of actual war. If it means anything ( I hope it does). It's that democracy take a while and wars in Western democratic countries are only a very small probability. Because people don't want land anymore, as they wanted in the ( for us) distant past. They want money and trade/work is the best way to get it. Edit: It's not worldwide applicable. But be hopeful that the right loyalists are a s…
Sadly it's not western and the opposition is not democratic. I am talking about India and China.
I hope everything works out.

Dang, I feel like I am missing something and cannot make much sense out of your comment even after rereading it multiple times. Is this about the submission itself? Or something else? Would you be kind and expand a bit on it?
There's a ring of spammers posting things like this. It's pointless because we just ban their shit anyway. Does that answer your question?

Op is new acct (5/15) with 'digital marketing exec' as occupation
What’s the point of farming karma though?
There is a TON of propaganda and marking on HN though. These guys are just idiots, or are obvious dangles.

Puts things into perspective. There’s so much space, even on this planet, and we occupy so little of it. It’s also very beautiful.
I've done long distance bike rides (couple months), they're vastly more enjoyable for me than being stuck in a car: the smells and sounds, people and animals around, the wind and the rain. A car is more comfortable, sterile, and boring.

There's so much space: why be closed in a little metal box? I've done long distance bike rides (couple months), they're vastly more enjoyable for me than being stuck in a car: the smells and sounds, people and animals around, the wind and the rain. A car is more comfortable, sterile, and boring.

Most surprising thing it: users on HN seem to love this "Facebook kinda content", counting the replies.
Not great. I spend 22 hours of my day in the same room, split between ten hours laying in my bed and twelve in my chair. I had just moved to a new city before everything, started a new job. I don't know anyone, it's impossible to really meet new people. My roommates all disappeared to larger living spaces in the middle of March. They're paying rent but I'm alone, and even when they were here I have nothing in common…
It sounds like your house or apartment isn't a good fit for you, is it an option to move? Somewhere with people who you have lots in common with. It doesn't always work out but sometimes it does and can be great. That, and it sounds like the space isn't great for you to be cooped up in
There's a huge difference between a place you can live in while being out of the house for ten hours a day on weekdays and whenever on the weekend and a place you basically are stuck in.
I'm in an expensive city because the job I got is in the center of it. If I knew I could work from home forever I could move further out, or to another state. I think I'd have been much happier in this case.
I am moving into a place that does seem to have roommates more aligned to my own interests. A bit more space too. My current apartment was mostly as a result of not having much time/funds to move and needing to do it quickly and cheaply.
