Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?

  I wish that was my life.

    With the exception of the stars (assuming you live somewhere with bad light pollution, which is most people), all of those things are still achievable. You can even use the internet to learn how to do them; don’t let your dreams stay dreams!

      Time isn’t free.

        Any time spent on here is also time that can be spent on other things. The habit of scrolling isn’t something you have to be bound to.

        Never has been free, the only difference is that there’s more junk to spend your time on now.

        It’s always been up to you if you want to spend time productively or not.

      For much of America, going on walks isn’t a pleasant experience. Most people live in car-centric areas, where you will have the noise, fumes, and dangers of cars at all times

        I live a couple of blocks off a freeway exit, I’m very familiar with that. I still go walking in the rich neighborhoods, because they have nice trees and can’t stop me.

    You can do my chores for me if you want, I know it’s little but it’s something.

    Minus the stars, it’s my life. It’s pretty good.

  Feeling blessed that this is basically my life, except I do have to go to pesky work Mon-Fri. And work is work, I’d always rather be home, but in the grand scheme of jobs, I have one where I’m challenged and get to learn new things with a decent group of humans on my team and good work/life balance so, yeah, feeling blessed for sure.
