@bonifartius I cannot say I'm not satisfied with virtual communication. I really like it. it takes no extra time. and I worked remotely a long before the covid hoax.
but I can say that I rarely could name those people I knew friends. friend is something more than just an acquaintance. and perhaps I have never had real friends in my life. maybe back in early childhood. now I cannot rely on anybody I ever knew. and thus I used to be independent and to take care of all problems myself. I barely have time for RL friendship now, I think. but I try to be polite and friendly to people because I know how much shit they went through in this country and the fact they're alive is alreasy an achievement that is worth respect. being calm and peaceful makes life a little easier for others.
