4 things

1. People are getting lonelier and lonelier, even if we have the technoloogy, we keep getting further apart, it takes weeks to make time to see someone. So here I am, travelling alone...

2. The attention span

3. The willingness to actually do some legwork, laziness, or conformity.

4. This will not sound nice: people getting dumber. There. I said it.

Ha! Good question. If I recall correctly, it was a pretty old copy of Friedrich Nietzsche. something like 'Beyond good and evil,' I think. It was the Romanian translation, so the title might have been slightly different, but the cover art had that classic old philosophy book look. Did you find something similar?

This is so unreal, the freaking rainy & hail weather made me go in there for shelter, I do feel in another world, I asked a hostess about vampires and she laughed and told me to eat garlic.

I hope not LOL, I don't like reddit.

Interesting, Google? After all the layoffs?
