...Rik!...you were the one who inspired me to comment so long ago...and even go so far as to write about them ( https://cansafis.substack.com/p/asterickrolls ) after reading this ( https://theconversationstarter.substack.com/p/be-careful-what-you-like )...that said i totally agree and understand the feeling...there is nothing better than being human and our human push to bring ourselves more and more online is not improving life imo...slurping starbucks in an apple mutantmask while i chug comments on a roblox board is no way to live...all this to say let's talk online sometime face to face -- always the most fun!...

Good to know about your relationship to comments. I’ve personally taken it on as a practice because regardless of responses it improves my communication skills, enriches my thinking, and often gives me new ideas and language for my own writing. But honestly knowing you’re not into dialogue here is good to know.
