45. The internet isn't good enough for them?

Sun Nov 6, 2022, 11:25 PM

Nov 2022

Texting, email etc. isn't fast enough? I don't get it. Why does everything have to be instant for everyone?

Progress is fine, but changing everything weekly so it's faster, newer, brighter, shinier is freaking ridiculous.

People don't even talk each other anymore. They've got their noses buried in their phones wherever they go. They bump into you everywhere, not even pretending to watch where they're going.

This isn't some "old man yells at cloud" shit either. It happens to me every damned day. Where the hell does it end?

People need Twitter like they need another hole in their head.
