  • I’m especially bothered with the realization of how little regard many of our fellow citizens actually have for others health and well-being. I don’t know how eager i am to return to a society that can’t even agree on diseases being a bad thing.

    Totally agree about the empty gestures too, which really stood as a reminder of how little respect healthcare workers (and don’t forget funeral directors and morticians!) actually get especially considering how much they risk for everyone else’s sake





  • I realize I’m a bit late to the conversation, just wanted to say i agree with your sentiments.

    I kinda felt that the whole tech world was a little better when it had a certain gatekeeping element, in that you had to know how to operate a computer to at least some degree to do anything with the Internet. While that does reduce the amount of potential users dramatically in its own right, it also cuts down on the signal-to-noise ratio similarly. Giving everyone phones didn’t necessarily make the Internet a better place, imo. But it also has given a voice to many who never would have had one (for better or worse, as well)…

    Not every place needs an enormous user base to make it worthwhile or enjoyable. Too many comments def leaves you feeling like you don’t have a voice, but i guess too few and you wonder if anyone’s listening…




  • Does anyone here find they really enjoy groups of things, collections, arrays, assortments, varieties? I can’t really explain it adequately, but I’ve always somehow enjoyed collections of various things. One of the things i always think about that I’ve enjoyed since i was a kid, was the way a building in a city might have a set of signs in a vertical column with different logos for all the different stores/businesses within. Somehow i just found it satisfying to see all these different self-contained designs, all representing a variety of products or services. I also have really heavily enjoyed collectibles in my time: action figures, trading cards, video games, etc.

    I also remember having a couple posters above my bed years ago that each had a grid of like 100 different smiley faces that said “Have a day” and each smiley had a different expression/look and it said under it “Have a happy day” or “Have a broken day” or “Have a plaid day” and eventually i got a sequel poster that said “Have a night” with 100 different night-theme smileys each with their own “Have a _____ night”

    Just wonder if that’s a common trait anyone else here can relate to 😅

    I can attest to that. Though from what I’ve gathered (but i can’t say from personal experience yet), it may be something that can be improved with therapy and learning new ways to handle those times. I’m stuck in the executive dysfunction catch-22 where i know i could use the help but I’m still too stubborn or disbelieving (or whatever executive dysfunction causes) to seek it

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
