5) all the delivery apps, whoever makes self checkout counters or the bots that answer customer service calls - it’s cool, i get it, you were just trying to make things “frictionless” for us busy worker bees (see #2)- but let’s see you spend some $ to fight social isolation (5/x)

4) dating app companies - you aren’t off the hook either. we know exactly what you did and what you need to do, too. (@hinge you’re ahead of the curve with the “One More Hour” fund.) (4/x)

Sharing 8+ meals a week with people has the same happiness boost as DOUBLING your income.

@DavidNebinski @erica_wenger i agree! with 6-8 people it can stay as one convo the whole time. sometimes i like to do 10 to mix it up but then i expect it to splinter off at some point so i make sure we’re moving seats/rooms so people aren’t stuck in the same convo too long
