Dude, that fact that we’ve designed a world where old people can’t live without a smartphone but not smartphones they can safely interact with without immediately being scammed and bricking their phones is one of the biggest condemnations I can think of against capitalism. Absolutely every layer of the modern world requires access to a smartphone & the internet! Example: my dad wants to know what his bank balance is. He has to log into his bank account. Well, first he has to Google his bank (he doesn’t have the URL saved, he doesn’t know how to),

In August 2022 I matched with a 28 yo on Tinder who was in town for work. We never ended up meeting, but have talked almost every day, sometimes for many hours, ever since. Somehow we ended up basically best friends??? Anyway, it’s his birthday. He’s great. Happy birthday to him. We joke a lot about how hard our relationship is to explain to other people because it’s legit weird. We flirt a lot? But are also mostly extremely close friends who support each other a lot, have been there for each other through some of our hardest times?? We’ve never met???

One of the most painful aspects of growing up is that we hit certain life or age milestones&are gradually deprived of nurturing&care under the assumption we no longer “need” them but we all kind of need& want some aspect of that forever & finding that in adulthood is very hard. The older we get, the less acceptable it is for us to need sustained gentle care from the world around us, but that’s not dictated by our internal need for it.

In my childhood home telling someone you were sorry was considered a v half ass apology because it centers you in the situation & not the person you wronged. In that house we preferred “I apologize” & then a recitation of specifically what our understanding was of the wrong done. “I’m sorry I <did x thing>” just talks about the discomfort you are feeling about knowing you fucked up. Which is not the point! I apologize is more outward facing. I stan a true apology.
