early on in the flight say "Oh no my laptop/phone battery has run out, and I haven't been using print media since 2011, what am I going to do for the rest of the flight?". Then fold your arms and audibly sigh every 10 seconds.
No wonder you guys run the world damn

i appreciate this because i do consider myself a man of luxury.
discipline posted:real post I'm thinking about writing a book on the architecture/geography of the internet, and the loss of anonymity is really important. basically the best way currently to jackhorn surplus value out of the internet is through commodifying identities, making everyone into a little marketing machine. it's also transforming social mores as we expect people to be open and forgo their privacy online (and to some extent offline). I'd never walk up to a guy at a bar and demand to know about his ex and see pics of him as a baby but this is pretty normal information to seek about a stranger online nowadays.
being an anonymous troll is the ultimate private luxury on the internet. who knows what would happen to goatstein if his employer or wife knew of some of the things he posted online? but nowadays we are expected to have a rap sheet online, we are expected to be forthcoming with information. we are supposed to allow others to passively watch us, we are supposed to open our identities up to passive surveillance. 40 years ago if you found out that the USG was opening all your mail up and selling the info to psychologists and capitalists people would flip out, but this is commonplace now. our very relationships with others have been commodified in a way like never before. this is why spaces like the rhizzone are unique and dying out. we might know each other a bit offline but we still cling to our anonymity and our dignity.

hmm interesting article best of luck; not too pleased about glorifying american history so that the descent sounds more epic, but if it's all in the name of laughing at americas modern failings then okay

it was really cool when we went to the v&a and afterwards i realised i had spent an afternoon in engaging, wide-ranging conversation with someone id never meet again, in a city i think of as hostile and anonymous. the internet should be like that imo
