things I will never do

 here's a fun exercise. sit down and make a list of things you will confidently never do. where do you draw the line? it doesn't have to be super high stakes. like you don't have to put I will never murder someone. And just because you don't put something doesn't mean you're going to do that or actively want to. like if I don't put, 'never siphon gasoline out of someone else's car with a rubber hose and my mouth' that doesn't mean I secretly really want to. It's more about trying to think of some things that you think you will never do on principle. Not because they would necessarily ruin your life if you did them.

I will never own a self-driving car. 

I'm pretty sure I'll never knowingly eat meat again. At this point I've gone about a third of my life without eating meat so I think I'll keep that going. 

You know what. Turns out, this is not that fun. 

Here's what I think is fun. Instagram has a thing now where it shows you nothing but reels that have been like by people who you mutually follow and that is fun. That is fun in a way that like a Jane Austen novel is fun because it's at like the near absolute limit of any sort of communication happening. It's like I happened to notice a thing that I know you noticed and you might know if I noticed it but you don't know for sure and it's like the tiniest breadcrumb and I think something in the brain likes that.  Just a trace. Just a tiny bit.

And what I really mean is that today I saw that my sister and her husband both liked a video that just said 'Will you be my gleepenstine?" and it was in space and had a picture of an alien cat and I sent it to them and said, 'you both are gross'

But the fun was in finding it.
