the answer is that they are for me, they should be optimised for me, which means i should be the only person who's allowed to be a tourist anywhere and the rest of you can stay authentic
i feel like it's almost over anyway, the retail thing, the going out to go shopping as a leisure activity thing, the stuff that Trainspotting was dead against. the exception being clothes shopping because it actually is better to do in person, unlike a lot of the rest.Retail has been, as long as I've been alive, really the only thing that gets people out and about and circulating through the city during the day. So there's a good chance that in its absence you have ghost towns, people hidden indoors, like over the last two years.
basically the only problem with the pub being dead, retail being dead, and embroidery classes being boring, is that people have got to have a way to meet each other in real life. that's the big cultural gap that the last 15 or so years have left i think, that the culture is still figuring out how to resolve, that a lot of changes in the way people live have been great in some ways but in others have made it harder to become mates (or make other enjoyable kinds of social connection) with other peopleThe pub is dead, and retail is dead. What is there to do? Embroidery classes?
Well I'm hardly that unfortunately. I do like that at our level (which is a really low, small level) there is a lot of kind of DIY stuff and on the rare occasions when you do get to play abroad it does feel more as though you have mates ready made than if you were a famous guy who stayed at a posh hotel cos you probably sleep on their floor and so on.wow. do you like that part of the international superstar DJ life? i can see how it would be class to rock up in a city and have some ready made mates who want to drive you around and show you things.
Yeah that was pretty much exactly what happened.Oh right. Well I remember you telling me this and it being sort of awkward because you didn't want to seem ungrateful but at the same time you wanted to say "I don't really like bitter, have you got a Beck's or something I could have instead?"
Queueing for vaccines seems popular and appears to be here to stay. A new kind of church with periodic sacraments, special headwear, sinners and saints.Church is dead... If the only answer to the question is go online then obviously cities lose their raisin detre.
