The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Yeah, for me at least, introversion is doubly vexing in that being out and about is tiring and can make me cranky, while too much self-isolation leaves me socially "out of practice", which can look pretty cranky from the outside.

I hear you there.

Absolutely. My tolerance for people was low already but the pandemic erased what little tolerance I’d built up over the years. Dealing with people takes way too many spoons.

That's pretty much me in a nutshell, far as that goes. Fortunately, I don't need to too often, but its still an obvious problem.

And then all of us introverts go on the internet and practice our lack of social skills, which explains a lot.

Fun Fact: The "internet" was originally called "introvertnet," but the name was shortened to fit on teletype machines.*

* This a totally true fact of tech history that I just made up, probably.

It's actually "internets/introvertnets". I dont think former leader of the free world GWB would mispronounce it.

The question isn't whether you're wrong. The question is whether I care enough to engage.

If you don't understand that 2 < 3...nothing I can say will convince you.

I don't think I'd say all of those things apply.
(Most maybe....)

maybe you could try relaying on your feelings less

The new Apple Watch faces are extremely mediocre (the Snoopy one uses too much battery life, given that even in "off" mode, it's got a big cartoon it's displaying).

And the newly redesigned wake-up screen is impossible to read with bleary morning eyes. Who thought yellow on sky blue was the way to write information when you're first waking up? At least let users switch it to black and white, like it used to be.
