Facebook also played a large role in retiring the independent old style of phpbb/vbulletin type forums.

yep, Chrome just redesigned everything to have no square edges anywhere, so I assume this is related.
pretty much because like IE, when using Windows part of it runs in the background whether you like it or not.
I lived somewhere with carpet in the bathroom and kitchen. Seems horrible to me as it’s so much difficult to clean. The bathroom was annoying because we had one roommate who would literally shower 6 times a day and somehow get the carpet soaking wet… would have been a lot easier to dry off tile.
Reminds me of where someone I knew was living with her ex when we met... there was a shower in the carpeted kitchen/living room.
That was extremely dissatisfying about Facebook. I’d see an endless stream of crap from people that I barely knew and didn’t care about at all, and then when I’d look at a profile of someone I actually knew and did want to keep up with, I’d see posts about significant and interesting things that happened in their lives which Facebook never showed me. I tried to get them to stop showing me irritating posts about politics - unfollow people, block people, mark “show less posts like this”, then it would come up with more political posts from people I didn’t even recognize. Meanwhile, oh, colleague got married…. sure, just never show me that post and show me 15 idiotic political memes instead.
Yeah, hanging up something weighing 2000 lbs over my couch is how I achieve relaxation and bliss.
It was some minor company that had a bit of hype but never got big, with a name like Bloingo or something.
Edit: I found it, it was called Blippy:

There was this app about 12 years ago which was like 'foursqaure for payments!' It would advertise 'blahblah just paid $55 at some lame restaurant'. It seemed like an awful idea and it died, but... currently, Venmo does that.
Time of day is a matter of cultural tradition and coordination with other people. For me it’s always been a relative matter to when I woke up. Got up at 8 am? I expect to go to sleep 12-1 am. Get up at 3 am? Normal to go to sleep at 6 pm. Get up at 4 pm? Totally normal to be cleaning tea strainers with a dremel at 3 am.
