I have an addiction named "DU". Am probably not going to fix it, but recognizing
that, getting up in years, the time & lazy energy expended here on the internet very likely means I will not accomplish a couple of things I have told myself all my life I want to get done. It's not DU/the internet's fault. I have always been a procrastinator, "late bloomer," but this is really pushing it. It's not really Either/Or, like, the comfort of sinking into this cloud of disembodied friendly voices that I think I know personally versus shifting all time/energy into those other things - I could do both.
Somebody has another thread asking what has become of a couple of different old time posters. This is different from disruptors. I suspect that some long gone posters have just shifted away from the internet to other pursuits.
Well, some of us do this. Some do sports, some do slot machines, some do religion.
A couple of lines from a couple of my "poems" (from fifty years ago) :
* I spent my life in waiting to be born...
* This place or any other is interchangeable,
the other with the one.
The domain of my species is measured
in eye lengths to the sun.
