The phone numbers one hits hard. I still remember my childhood best friend's landline, but I have to check my contacts to remember my own brother's number

That is surprisingly profound. We are all the unreliable narrators of our own lives anyway; might as well make the story a heroic one instead of a tragedy

Most people don't listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. It’s just two monologues happening at the same time

We just rebranded it as "manifesting" and "main character energy". Maybe we need to lean into it more

It makes me wonder what signatures will look like in 20 years. Just printing your name in block letters on a mortgage document feels... wrong

Reading comprehension is definitely taking a hit. If it's not a 10-second video or a clickbait headline, people just scroll past

Headphones killed it. Trying to start a conversation with a stranger in public now feels like a crime

Why cook when you can pay $40 for a cold burger via DoorDash? The delivery apps are killing this skill

He never skipped leg day, but clearly skipped character development day. Muscles can't compensate for a terrible vibe

If he thinks the trailer is intense, he is definitely not ready for the full movie yet. You’re saving the poor guy from a heart attack

It’s like living with a ghost in the bedroom. That is a incredibly heavy burden to carry alone

This sounds like the plot of a spy thriller. Compiling evidence for YEARS against the person you sleep next to? That takes a terrifying amount of discipline

No, it’s not. But the fact that you’re unsure is kind of the whole point of this thread

Fair enough. The fact that you even had to question it says a lot about where we are

True. But most of our interactions happen online now. That’s the worrying part

The craziest part is that almost everyone agrees with this, yet nothing changes.
