These posts about Reddit’s continuing slide are like the news my elderly mother gives when yet another one of her friends dies: sad, but what you gonna do?
Every conversation my mother and grandmother had for the last 10 years of my grandmother’s life (just change the name):
Grandmother: “Do you remember Sue Smith?”
Mom: “I don’t think so.”
Grandmother: “ Yes you do, Sue Smith.”
Mom: “Sue Smith? Where would I know her from?”
Grandmother: “ She lived two houses down from us over on Suwannee Street.”
Mom: “I don’t remember a Sue Smith from the neighborhood.”
Grandmother: “She was Sue Jones before she got married.”
Mom: “OH Sue Jones! Yeah I remember her!”
Grandmother: “Well she died.”
