My god, this article is saying EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS. This is cathartic to read.

Setting up internet has really gotten easier. Plugged in the new modem and old router, connected them, hit a button on an app. Now I'm streaming. I looked at 0 settings.

I remember when it was hard.

I suspect I'd share very few political beliefs in common with Norris, but this is in remarkably bad taste, especially when we're seeing a huge number of co-workers from across the political spectrum attesting to what a kind, honorable, and stand-up guy he was.

Also holy shit the paperwork just for the building's board. 70 pages! And it's not even a co-op, the board has basically no ability to block sales. Truly I have suffered.

Basically the worst thing for my anxiety is high-stakes conversations with strangers, especially on the phone.

I recently bought an apartment in Manhattan (five blocks from my parents).

Moderately effective exposure therapy. I did not like it.
