Even getting our past history out of the way, Dave is just my last real tether to socialization. Twitter is sort of nice, but it stopped being social last year amid the discourse and Musk's revamp. I don't think my mutuals are fake, or unreal, but I do think I should outgrow my hope that I'm actually going to meet them in real life this year, next year, five years from now. I'm a relic, and I have been for years now.
