And so am I, as long as I'm seeing people on the internet. As soon as you exit, you just see... normal people.

For every person I meet with their own interesting hobbies and unique insights, there's 14 others regurgitating what's on the news, too caught up in their own in-groups, too eager to drug out, etc. 4 out of those 14 are tolerable to talk to for a short duration. There'll be another 10 keeping to themselves or their family. Like Lethn, I'm checked out on socializing irl, at least until I move again.

Lethn's right, the internet got Eternal September'd hard, and many of the remaining geeky spaces got hijacked by left-wing activists.
