I think Boston’s is pretty extensive as well, but that’s more of a mid-sized city and the infrastructure is certainly older

I must say I am happiest with hybrid. As someone living alone I start to chew the furniture with my work happening in the same space as my leisure. I do love the flexibility, the fact that I can literally just make lunch and eat it rather than dealing with a wet lunchbox sandwich. But I do like to see other people, and an entirely remote lifestyle makes me go a little crazy

My attitude is that big news always gets through any filters. If i filter out Trump’s name, I’m still going to see things like “Canada proposes counter US tariffs” or “[My State’s Governor] details plans for medical spending in absence of federal aid” or “Selena Gomez bares it all in tiktok about raids”. Like if a nuke is aimed at my house the group chat will pop off, I can tailor my daily meme experience toward being pleasant

I was really hoping to experience the old “My parents were right all along” revelation that so much folks wisdom says is inevitable. Unfortunately, the older I get, the more experiences I have and the more perspective I gain… they really look worse and worse. I would rather it be the other way, and ultimately I am sadder for my younger self as I age.
