Too me it looks a reasonable.

Facebook is only as narcissistic as its user, it is as much about taking part in other peoples activities, by commenting/sharing as it is about personal propaganda.

>"Our" generation grew up with having to work to acquire knowledge. To spend time in the library. To sit down and read.

if anyone from jetbrains here, in India it is showing prices using hindi (devanagari) numerals which are no longer in common use, even when text is in Hindi, most people will not even understand it. Would recommend to regular numerals.
