Josh Play Gay Not Quite a motss.con vi (via Zoom)

On Saturday, March 19, 2022, the soc.motss.con bunch had another Zoom call.

We had 16 people over the course of the ninety minutes or so I was there. I had fun catching up, and it seemed like others did too. Discussion topics (as I wrote them down, but not necessarily in chronological order) included:

  • Social media breaks for mental health, snoozing people, filtering out things leaving only Wordle
    • Work and payment
    • Post-LASIK and health in general
    • Raising chickens
    • Weather
    • Clocks changing, time zones, geography, etc.
    • COVID boosters, travel, masking, mandates, other shots
    • Medicalerts, smart assistants, smart homes, and gaming the system
    • Electronic trust, automatic software updates, unauthenticated authorization
    • Software and hardware obsolescence (buy new to keep using)
    • Considering another in-person motss.con (when to CFP; maybe fall 22, maybe 23)
    • Where and when to travel once it's safe and whether BA.2 will prevent things
    • Aging, geriatrics, dementia, end of life care, and health
    • "Making my emergency your emergency"
    • Politics, union busting tactics our employers are trying, public housing, real estate taxes and subsidies
    • Policing, retaliation, funding, accountability, and corruption
    • Civil war and Trumpism
