- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 2 days ago:

What’s the reputation of the linked site? Are there other sources?
Sure, this sounds plausible, but you want credible sources and mainstream media attention.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 7 months ago:
Yeah. That’s me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.
I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I’m not locked in, but …
- after-work drinks
- meetups
- catch up with a friend at the pub
- date night
- clubs
- partys
That’s a distant past. And i don’t miss it, really.
Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.
But i don’t miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, “networking”, drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you’ll accept that you’d rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can’t hear what your are saying since it’s loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you’ll enjoy more. In better quality.
