        Yeah. When I tell you to go to youtube I don’t want you typing youtube in google, waiting for google to load, selling your soul to the devil, clicking on youtube and then starting to look for a video. I want you typing youtube.com and looking for the video 2 seconds later.

    I guess writing in cursive LOL I mean it’s just so natural to me like, I don’t know how people don’t do it that’s crazy that they don’t teach it anymore.

    It’s just so much faster like everything is just one fucking word cuz it’s all connected.

    I sew by hand, I cannot figure out a sewing machine for the life of me.

    I use a thesaurus. It’s actually incredibly helpful especially for resumes.

      I’m also a cursive writer.

      To me the strange thing is that in school we learn to write cursive. Then for some unknow to me reason everybody just stops using it.

      Sewing itself is pretty valuable skill in this day and age. Using a sewing machine is also old school.

        Yeah I mean like I was taught that you know I mean that’s your fucking signature it’s in cursive it’s not just a regular fucking letter or letters like you’re writing and sign in your mortgage with a crayon you know. And that’s how resumes used to be back in the day people used cursive you know because it was professional. Thank you yeah I had my mom teach me when I was young in middle school because like you know when you grow up without? I’m like you know what? If I can’t afford to have it I’ll just fucking make it you know so I made a lot of shit and I also like clothes and purses a specific way like sometimes I’ll find like the most perfect purse I’ve been fucking looking for and then the strap on it will be like ugly as fuck so I’m like okay I’m going to cut that off and attach another handle from a different person I have that would match just perfectly

      They’re nice, I wish there was a new one that didn’t have pre-existing people with already well mapped min-max strategies and scripts and shit though. Asking a bit much though I think.

        I kind of like the feel of roaming through a mostly abandoned world. It would be cool if someone made a retro style MUD though.

    Film photography is timeless. I have a Polaroid which I use, especially when I go on holiday, so I’ll throw that to the pile.

    I’ll add posting on internet forums (lol), not having any social media like Facebook and straight black coffee.

      I’ve got quite a few film Nikon cameras to shoot with. It’s such a nice feeling and the results are just amazing.

        You’d get along well with my dad, he started collecting old film cameras, he has quite a few too lol

        Yes they are very satisfying, and you can’t beat the anticipation of “I wonder how the photos turned out”.
