    Most things that people seem to get hyped over really. Not big on buying things. Books are an exception but most people aren’t hyped about those

      It’s been really bewildering and concerning seeing all the crazy consumer crazes online. Maybe this was unfounded, but there was a while where I thought we were starting to wane on consumerism but I guess I was just wrong about that. The internet has just supercharged it. We now have turbo consumerism. Forget about keeping up with the Joneses, you now scroll past 100 of them in your feed and half of them are human billboards influencers.

      Oh ho ho I am quite hyped for books ! Silly when you can basically get them free to read on a computer ot e reader and then they weigh nothing but…still prefer realism.
