   Heh--I was chatting with a colleague sitting out on a patio at the school the other day, and some students doing a business class assignment came up to do a survey. They wanted to know about our coffee use, our social media use, our response to ads, our sense of our own interests, etc. 😂 Way to spoof our passwords through social engineering, if they weren't actually students! but we were willing to bet they were. I put in a plug for Mastodon (he looked blank at the term Fediverse). 😁

     @chiasm Your interests or your motives?

     /cont. But when they asked about our interests we both looked a little blank. My colleague finally said she liked people; I realized and blurted out that I don't really like people per se. I like the digital world, the text interface, the ability to disengage when needed but the ability to interact with everyone everywhere (all at once! No, just kidding). I like how putting out a distress signal gets me 20 little pats on the back, without spending hours on the phone repeating my story. Huh.
