Son I remember the good ol' days

No problem, closing the laptop and going outside...the bar of the corner has free WiFi

It's fine I'd just play some more Zelda on my Switch

I usually immediately start troubleshooting

Denial: "The internet's not down, Maybe I just need to reset the router. Should be back on any moment now..."
Anger: "GOD DAMN IT WHY IS THE INTERNET DOWN? I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY MEMES AND DOOMSCROLLING!"
Bargaining:"What if I went to starbucks? Sure I can't justify the gas or the coffee price, but I'll at least have a connection."
Depression: "God damn why do I feel so depraved? Is this what withdraws feel like?"
Acceptance: "Actually, I think I'm enjoying this. I have read a book, went on a walked, and worked on an artpiece for the first time in awhile. I think I'm DONE with the internet!"
connection comes back on
(back to staring at lemmy for hours)

When your view on communism is challenged for ten minutes.
