    I feel that you’ve severely misrepresented or misunderstood why people don’t show up to things. Assuming that they’re just addicted to instagram or whatever is such a crappy take.

    Most adults are tired. They’re under paid, over worked, over stressed, and just plain worn down. The weight of a world designed to crush them has done its job very well.

    People don’t show up because they’re depressed and stuck in a hole they don’t know how to get out of.

    Source: I live in the real world. Also, I too run book clubs and shit and have seen people struggle to stay engaged.


















  • If you’re going to just copy paste some out of context slop you could at least just provide a link (he says, knowing that probably came right out of a “write me a paragraph proving that porn is bad” ChatGPT session).

    Or are you going to say that “[3]” citation notation in there was totally intentional?

    Maybe we should ban anything with a correlative (but not necessarily causative) link to decreased “grey matter” though; let’s start with social media. You’d clearly never use that, right?
