This is a great quote that distills the essence of social media down to its bare essence:
“What we do have, and sometimes enjoy, are a series of communication networks interested in providing a paltry simulacrum of sociality in service of behavior modification and profit maximization.”

“Friendship rests on the presumption of reciprocity, of drifting in and out of one another’s lives, with occasional moments of wild intensity. When you’re nineteen or twenty, your life is governed by debts and favors, promises to pick up the check or drive next time around. We built our lives into a set of mutual agreements, a string of small gifts lobbed back and forth. Life happened within that delay.”

I’ve been looking back at a bunch of Giantbomb stuff in the wake of Gerstmann leaving. It makes me realize that it is definitely the old skool crew that are my parafriends: Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Alex – I’m mostly going to stick with them and then check out the new 9 core crew.
Music has become so much more disposable than it ever has been. I remember having to sit with an album or song for awhile because music was scarce, a precious and sought over commodity. Passed down from sibling or friends or purchased with hard earned allowance or work money. Now, I can literally listen to anything I could ever think of at the whim of a search bar.
This comes from some medium post – kinda like “xennials”? 1977 – 1982 I think.
either way, it seems like 1979 constantly gets short shrifted in a lot of those generational discussions. Right on the cusp of being too young to be gen x and too old to be Millennials.
I’m a middle child from an ignored generational cohort.
