    Ah 2013, the year I got my first real job after grad school. That was fun. I miss being 27 - I didn’t have the “Oh shit, time is running out and soon I’ll be old!” feeling quite as much, although back then I did worry about turning 30.

    And speaking of the past, does anyone else feel like it’s sort-of still 2020? 2019 was long ago but everything after the start of the pandemic seems like it has happened so quickly.

      It derailed everything. I went from college age young, and “I just need a job” to “nothing can redeem this, I just want to get life over with”.

      Well, reality kept happening, but we arejt super involved. We font perceive it, and certainly don’t act on it directly as ourselves.

      ‘Eddington’ or the entire earth situation and politics of ‘echopraxia’ and fun guidelines. ‘The matrix’ if you want something easier to grasp and less dystopian.
