I saw numbers from some study about tech and people's relationships with it or whatever and it's insane how many people think Facebook is the entire internet now that they've had that integrated browser for so long. It's just all they ever learned of technology, magic rectangle go to Facebook.

I understand not being "tech savvy," a "hobbyist," whatever - but I can't fathom not bothering to consider how something I use daily works AT ALL. I hate cars but I learned enough to understand how to tentatively diagnose a problem and handle minor maintenance myself, but some people take their car to the dealer like 4x a year instead.

Is madness.

 

I'm retired early at 35 and haven't worked since before I was 30 (injured veteran.) While limited, I had a fairly functional external life pre-rona but since then my ex I was with for a decade left at the end of the pandemic and I hadn't been around anyone else my people muscle has atrophied.

I'm bad with people because I'm not around people much, but I'm not around people much because I'm bad with people. I'm bad with people because I'm not around people muchbecauseI'mbadwithpeoplebecauseI'mnotaroundpeoplemuchbecauseI'mbadwithpeople^becauseI'mnotaroundpeoplemuchbecauseI'mbadwithpeople^

AHHHHHHHHHH

Whazzup everybody? I like books (and edibles) so when I saw this community I wanted to contribute. I just finished Artemis by Andy Weir, a sci fi novel about a young delivery worker/smuggler who gets entangled in a plot to change the balances of power on the Moon's only city.

I picked up The Deepest South of All by Richard Grant at Ollie's for a few bucks the other day and have started that. It tells the tales of various people the author meets in Natchez, Mississippi and explores how it's slavery centric past still influences the area today.

What are you all reading? How big is your backlog? I started explicitly keeping a physical backlog when I buy new media because I'm 100% that guy who'll put it up and forget forever. haha

Did you watch past Season 1 of Disenchantment? I thought S1 was really slow but it picked up for me after that and I've really enjoyed the rest.
