The fact that you can't even make out on a bench in Central Park without someone recording you on their iPhone and then posting it to social media as some kind of bit is everything that's wrong with society and I am not joking. The surveillance state (administered by an actual state or by the millions of people with phones who want to embarrass people on their TL) is essentially the least romantic thing imaginable in both the love sense and the living sense. It is anti-romantic and anti-life. Part of the reason why the before world was fun was the fact that you didn't have this kind of thing. The ability to do something without it being documented and recorded is the difference between being free vs an animal locked in a cage. There is a direct correlation between everyone constantly being afraid that someone is going to record them and post it somewhere and society becoming more neurotic, less fun, more boring, and less alive.
The self-administered surveillance state is the enemy of life.
straight women will spend their lives talking about how gross men are, how uninteresting they are, how sex with them lasts five minutes and is unfilling and then find out you’re a lesbian and start acting like men are one of the seven wonders of the world and you’re missing out
I’ve seen people shamed on here for using “pretentious” words like foliage and complimentary. We ought to normalize having an interesting & expansive vocabulary. Don’t allow yourself to be bamboozled into speaking only in monosyllables for the sake of the illiterate.
The Beckhams are really giving us pre social media tabloid era gossip.
Not reality TV storylines actual real life Great British gist...
I never thought we'd experience this again.
One of my longest standing hobbies is thinking about whether I should get an iPad. It’s not about the iPad it’s about imagining the alternate life I might live as someone who has an iPad. Love to wonder about it
@ilprestonli @MufcWonItAll2@ClothingYep@ManUtd but you shouldn’t need a smart phone, life should be accessible without QR codes and the need to download apps for everything
