Around here, hanging out or spending time together means watching tv together. And people will talk to you on the phone or on the computer, but in person they don't have anything to say but boring gossip. If you have a girl you like, you can hold her and more if she lets you, but there's not much else to do, because they don't do anything else. It gets depressing. And when you're on the phone or online, they are obviously copying and pasting things so that they can trick you into thinking they're interesting and smart (even if you already find them interesting). It's depressing how many people do that. So in person, they can't talk about the same things. I used to like to listen to music with people, but then I realized they weren't experiencing the music the same way I was, so we couldn't connect that way either. Music or tv or movies. And you can't talk about anything but gossip. You can get high or drunk together, and maybe go to bed together, that's as good as it gets. Get a job, and come home and talk shit about people they work with. Then go online and talk more shit about people. And when you go to work, the people talk the same gossip, and if you don't join in, they start gossiping about you.

That's why I get sick of computers, tvs, phones, and video games. It's hard enough to talk to somebody while they're not running all those things at once. I like tv shows and movies too, but there isn't anything worth watching on most of the time. The people I know watch the same reruns over and over everyday. My sisters watch tv like they're in a trance, and they are in a trance.
