Who’s afraid of Shabbos?

For one thing, I know that I don’t isolate myself unless I’ve got a REALLY good book. (Which is a lot, so yeah, but still…) I just spent about six hours at my friend’s house yesterday. We had a lot of fun talking just like we do during the week. At least where I come from people walk a LOT.

If you’re talking about periodic GSS (not to be confused with GPS), or Get-rid-of Snapchat Syndrome, then okay, sure, but you can be in an isolation chamber and still be able to keep in touch with friends with that kind of thing. (This is me smiling in the isolation chamber!… this is me going kissy-face in the isolation chamber!… this is me upside down in the isolation chamber!) In that case, I think the trick is more trying to get people to actually get used to being in the other person’s physical presence when they communicate with others. I’ve seen people sitting in the same room and still texting each other.

I think that a lesson on the delights of IPC (no, not THAT IPC) is in order here.
