pro tip from an old cat who's been dealing with people complaining about preferring electronic communications to face-to-face communications for decades:

the next time someone gives you grief for your screen time, show them how you're having three separate conversations with the same group of people without anyone losing track of any of the three subjects and then ask them to replicate that standing in a group of four people at the same rate of conversation as the online group.

the only times I've ever seen a group pull it off face-to-face was when the group originally formed their bonds electronically and honed their group communication style over an extended period.

your mileage my vary.

Hidden message: ruby on rails was a mistake.

The person who ends up getting historical credit for inciting the destruction of the credit reporting agency cabal could be alive right now.

Heck, it could even be one of you.

Just saying.

Pro tip: the best way to prevent Google from scanning your emails is to stop using Gmail and then convince everyone you know to also stop using Gmail.
