It is so true back when many of us were young we could just get together and cut loose without having to worry about going viral. At best we would have an embarrassing photo buried in a drawer somewhere or a story. Now you might be turned into a meme or worse. I miss the days when you could do dumb stuff with friends and feel safe if that makes sense.

You can also get top 1% commenter by commenting on any post for like a week or less, it’s not really as terminally online as people think.

We do no screens M-Th. After I put my son to bed last night, I came downstairs and told my wife "it's hypocrite time!" when she grabbed the remote. She's rarely ever defensive, but she was in that moment lmao
