There’s a lot of comments about how digital devices are viable/helpful for note-taking and just as good as a pen. I think that’s missing the crucial point: virtually every device we own today is designed as a distraction machine.

A pen + paper isn’t going have any notifications or reminders or updates or emails or texts or ads or alarms or alerts. If there’s any device without those that’s as reliable and as cheap as a notebook, I’ve never heard of it.

Idk, when I have more friends and then family locked up are you gonna do something? You’re afraid for your own personal liberty in a silly show of customs theater? Quick turnaround from all the talk of dearresting.

Talking a lot of shit for somebody 6000 miles away. It’s something like $260 to for a ticket to LA, what’s your actual excuse?
