Walking through the park today and went under trees that just had bark chips and dirt underneath. Looked a bit meh. I was reminded of a pic of some young adult saying how people tell him to go outside instead of being of the computer all day. He showed outside, a very dull dingy grey dirty old eastern bloc dormitory city. So his SIM city would be better, just like on the new Brave New World series, people could be fed a nice make believe place.
But surely it would be best if he went outside and did something to improve his home rather than escape reality?

That would deprive us of your comments though

True. I’ll make an exception for aussie.zone.

I think we straddle the edge of social media here. I think the layer of anonymity here means we’re not quite social media. This feels more like the old usenet newsgroups of the 90’s to me. I know it’s pretty much the Reddit 2009 experience, but that also felt like Usenet.
