I'm thankful for this community! Sometimes I don't feel smart enough to be here... but I am thankful to lurk for now!
I actually enjoy the times someone takes the time to correct me instead of just downvoting.

Also, this Proclamation issued by Governor Wilbur Cross on Nov. 12, 1936 "Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the dusk falls early and the friendly evenings lengthen under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to our people to join together in praising the Creator and Preserver, who has brought us by a way that we did not…
Is it just me, or were people much better at writing these in the past?

It can definitely be an echo chamber, the mods tend to flag/ [dead]/ bury posts and comments for no reason and turning on [dead] visibility is basically just 4chan, however I have received the most legitimate use from this site as people on it tend to be experienced and knowledgable
Like 80% of dead comments I see here are actually very valuable and reasoned.

HN: one of the last remaining Great Good Places of the Internet, a lone tavern in an iconic gateway town to the now not-so-wild west. Beyond the western borders of this little town, the tech gold rush has both expanded to epic proportions, affecting all the economies in the world, and also gone through enough booms and busts that the phrase "gold rush" seems somehow off.

Happy Thanksgiving all. We've got the 'rona again, so pretty small one today. If you're celebrating with loved ones and friends, give them a hug. Wishing I could do that. Don't let those important yet small moments pass.
Hope you feel better soon and can give your loved ones many hugs again.
Wishing you many good times with loved ones.
When I had children, a family of my own, I came to find Thanksgiving my favorite holiday. Seemingly immune to the commercialization (I'm going to disassociate Black Friday with Thanksgiving), it became for me a day to relax, hang out with the family and ... be thankful. How pure and unencumbered is that? Best thing the U.S. has come up with. (Landing on the Moon was cool too though.)
Taking a day to just be around family and feel grateful for what you have, is worth doing.
I’m grateful for: The opportunities that this industry has provided me. I’m grateful for my wife. I’m grateful for my health.

It's definitely only a great, good place from a certain perspective. People I respect greatly refer to "the orange site" as "toxic", "misanthropic" or "misogynistic" and full of "microdosing" "VC worshipping wankers" who don't read TFA. It's definitely taken a different path than the one it was on c.2010 where any entrepreneur was effectively worshipped. I'm not sure if it's better or worse. The site rarely brings me…
