My partner (who's family is living 10000km away on another side of an ocean) learned her estranged father died a few days ago and that he had been terminally ill for months.

Apparently someone from that part of the family had posted it on facebook but she didn't notice it as she do not visit it every day.




People are lazy, and the winning solution (like it or not) is apparently the one that most people default to when they are lazy.

For most people, that is arguably currently Facebook.
