More seriously I am now going to have to contemplate that idea of internet interactions are rehearsal.
On Hubski. Whereas IRL you can't cap a conversation by linking a .gif to express your feelings, or a doge meme to express your incapability of feeling like I do/reddit does.
I've got a coworker who likes to talk about his band all the time. Every time he starts droning on about his boring ass band I take out my phone and show him pictures of my kid. He starts squirming immediately. Waiting for the day he realizes I'm screwing around with him, telling him that there is stuff the rest of us could give a damn about. Pretty much linking a .gif IRL.
Do you actually like SnapChat that much?:D Its so restricting, I can't express myself like I want to in like 3 words and a farm animal emoji. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it's telling me something. Hm.
I love snapchat. Sometimes it isn't the appropriate medium but for casual conversation/back-and-forth/"hey what are you up to?" It's great. I value its impermanence, which minimizes perfectionism and allows one to send silly/ugly pictures that one wouldn't necessarily want permanently on a network like, say, Facebook.
TIL SnapChat is the ultimate ploy at a subconscious propagation of Buddhism in the most polar culture of young America. Woa.I value its impermanence
