Hope you're good, Inquiry! :)

But that's not how I want(ed) it to be!!!! :-)


Seriously. I simply wanted simple to be good. And what could be simpler than reducing reality down to the size of a screen seemingly infinitely deep in content? Add a keyboard and maybe a touch-sensitive device, the manipulation of which somewhat governs what appears on the screen. Still simple. Too simple for something to go wrong, to bow the Murphyric knee as it were. You think. Or I would. Or did. With the highest of ongoing hopes.


But, no. "F" no. Insufficiently biological. Illusory content depth. Same shit, different URL. Lucre-driven search result bubbles. Trying so hard to pretend narcissism is the same as community. All that link rot, and so much less....

Better than the above sounds. :-)
