This is my optimal venue for interaction because I have time to think about what I’m going to say and you people can’t see my weird facial tics.
 
Last week “FaceTiming the kids” became code for having sexy time with our group

When I studied abroad in Salamanca (which has similar weather to Madrid) the saying was something like "Nueve meses de invierno y tres meses de infierno."

It snowed in Salamanca when we were there.

i'm not sure its entirely a generational gap tbqh, probably just a growing segment among all generations as online tools have allowed for more divergent niches/behaviors/etc

my little bro is gen z and fucking looooves going out and socializing and living big city life

I like to think that I own my social awkwardness. I am in no way as cool as Mako or Birdman.

I also don't think this is a problem of their own making, due to the pandemic, increased school shootings, divisive nature of our country, these things have all made it feel safer to be on-line than in person (which is ironic, because of how pervasive online bullying has become). Everyone is becoming more separated, but this current generation are the ones that are most feeling the effects.

The most awkward part of meeting posters IRL is how to explain it to my wife.

I always find that my interactions with y’all are much less awkward if my wife is around because she’s a social dynamo. Of course, it could just be that ATS is hella weird.

my wife knows what the boards are and is sort of ambivalent about them. since i've gotten some good travel/parenting/DIY advice she finds them a useful resource

It’s insane to me how many of my decisions have been made based on what you people have recommended to me
