    The year is 2030, and you are on your way to meet a friend for a meal.

    I don’t eat out

    You receive a message notification on WhatsApp

    I don’t use any of DARPA Lifelog Facebook Meta disservices.

    which was sent by your friend using her Signal messaging app

    I don’t have friends. And DEFINITELY not girls. (I use Arch btw)

    You choose an app because you like the way it looks

    I think I just vomited a little bit in my mouth

    You look at reviews produced by people you follow

    I don’t “follow” people and never will.

      I followed you in 2019 and did the same thing. So it would not affect me very much either.
