  • This is what I’ve been thinking about. What do they do with people that intentionally avoid social media? Is it simply presumed they’re hiding something? To that end, would it make sense to run a ‘fake’ social media account where they just post and share the most politically neutral/milquetoast memes and commentary just so there’s something in their history? I have always disliked the idea that one simply has to interact with social media or else be labeled an outcast/weirdo/suspicious person.

    It feels like it comes from the same school of thought that the Internet and/or computers need to be used for everything…i don’t like the way society continues moving away from “real” methods of paying bills and handling important personal affairs by replacing the old ways with “better” online alternatives. There are definitely benefits to both approaches, i just don’t like when a “paper option” gets eliminated entirely in favor of electronic.

    Just having a senior moment over here, please forgive my rambling 👴



  • Solution: move to a small town, Mr/Mrs Entitlement! Somewhere cheaper to live, where coincidentally the pay is lower and opportunities aren’t as abundant. Also extremely limited mass-transit options but hey that’s why you buy a car and get tied up in that whole mess. Not to mention property values doubling/tripling post-covid but I’m sure most folks have a few $100k laying around, especially in these particularly prosperous times.

    Perhaps it’s just a skill issue though? Lol

    Nice!! I’ve been using a big-screen tv for my monitor for a long time now myself. I remember starting to search for a tv-to-computer card for the next PC i built when it dawned on me the new motherboard has an HDMI slot. Once i realized i could plug it right into my big-screen tv without any extra modifications or cards/adapters i was stoked. Never looked back since–i have a wireless keyboard and mouse and it’s been great 🙂
