  • I’m health wise OK but my wife isn’t for the rest of her life so I have to take precautions everywhere. I don’t mind because I really don’t like dealing with people anyway.

    I do grocery pickup and go inside the store maybe four or five times a year now.

    I haven’t been to the inside of a restaurant in over three years, we use patios and sidewalk tables outdoors.

    I specifically only ever use gas stations where you pay at the pump.

    I haven’t been to a mall or indoor space with people in years now.

    I order everything else to my door.

    I really don’t miss dealing with people and now find it completely weird and disorienting to deal with people in public now.





  • I really don’t care anymore … when a new movie is announced, I really don’t care to do anything special to go out and see it. I just forget about it and wait a year or two and watch it as a stream on one of the services I already pay for.

    It usually works out. If the movie was crap, everyone will tell me, I’ll read about it or see low review scores for and just never bother watching it ever … or it’s released on Netflix, Disney or Amazon and I watch it there a year or two later.

    If it has great reviews and not available anywhere, then I just wait a year and rent it for $5 and watch it at home.

    There’s more than enough content to last a lifetime, I’m not spending any more money to watch the latest greatest movie as soon as it comes out.














  • As a teen I used to go snowmobiling in the winter with my friends late at night. At the time in the 90s it was boring and it got to the point where dozens of other teens would join us in a giant parade of snowmachines outside of town. There was always a small clique of older teens that led the way and we all followed them. It was fun, it was dangerous and it was something to do.

    I remember being in the top fourth or fifth machine in a group one night and I didn’t want to ride any more. I turned off because none of it was being done with any rules or anything, people could come and go as they pleased. As soon as I turned off, all 20 machines behind me followed me home, parked at my place and asked me if there was something going on tonight. I told them I was just going home and went inside and left them alone.

    That was one of the points in my life that made me realize that people just follow whoever is in front of them without ever really realizing why.
