@dragoness129: aww ty, i haven't seen it in the exchange lately but hopefully there will be more in a month or so!

@chiffonorange: haha you are such an early riser!

that's too bad about your boss though :-( i hate not having privacy at work, it would stress me out
and that's true - it seems a bit more laid back
do you have to interact w a lot of customers currently?

hmm there is a lot i can say about social media haha
i think it can be good and it can also be bad, and i think companies/platforms do have a responsibility to make social media have a positive influence on society + to be ethical
i think social media can be good for communities, staying connected, grassroots/independent orgs or media, but can be bad for mental health (depending on how it's designed/used) w/o boundaries

@totalanimefan: hmm in the Before Times honestly not that bad lol
typically <=10 minutes, but it depends on where you are. sometimes can be pretty short, <3-5 min, if there are multiple lines going to the stop you want
i think the l specifically was messed up from hurricane sandy and hadn't really recovered yet , so a lot of nights / weekends would have bad service
one silver lining is hopefully w reduced ridership they can make a lot of fixes during this time

it's too bad it's not real, but seeing it definitely helped me think about what the possibilities could be! and yeah i wonder how much environment savings we could get if we had trains as an alternative to domestic air travel

and yeah - i'm nervous how the protests will affect cases too. i think reopening for me would mean being even more cautious. i will probably continue to stay inside for a while :-/ i've been ok i guess, i've missed seeing my friends quite a bit

@xvz: True *nods* I really agree with you haha

Used to have FB or Twitter but gave up on them and deleting my accounts there eventually because I didn't want compare myself with others or avoiding potential drama. So far my thoughts on social media is quite mixed tbh, there are some content I find were pretty good or wholesome at least and sometimes some users tend to be... competitve (whether it's for selfies, etc.) for some reason?

And the reason why I brought it up is I wanted to know what others think of it besides me :o Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted to know ^_^;

ah i made brownies again ^^ they're so good, i wish i could have someone else try one

yeah social media's definitely a mixed bag
i think i am able to have a healthy-ish relationship w it bc i know it's not real life yk? like as a photographer i know my photos are super heavily edited and i know what the original looks like. so on social media similarly i know i'm looking at like a highlight reel and not reality. and i also uninstall / log out if i'm getting overloaded from it

and total i wonder if i subconsciously picked it up from u ^^
yeah feels like we're too busy setting out fires every year tho to focus on investing in infrastructure ... i would love to see la reimagined
i have been thinking if i would want to move to la after ny (maybe in 5-10 years??) but the traffic seems so awful and i'm wondering if it would get worse by then too (and also climate change....... aka the fires....)
i wonder if remote work will become more common as a response to commuting getting worse. although i will say i think most of emissions comes from corporations and not so much individuals

@chiffonorange: what gets you up so early? does your body naturally wake up or do you have to get up early for work?
the only time i wake up early is by accident

@chiffonorange: ah i see
yeah i guess your body is supposed to get used to it after you do it for a long time
i think my body naturally sleeps/wakes later though
