I love collecting vinyl, but my record player is out of commission atm and I can't afford to repair it/purchase a new one, so I've been mainly using CDs for now. They're the most compact (like it's literally in their name: Compact Disc) and I love that I can shelve/stack them neatly without occupying a massive footprint unlike their vinyl counterparts.
also, CD TOWERS! the CDs unfortunately out-drip vinyls when it comes to storage options, so that's also another contributing factor for me.

So true to all points made. Part of me wants more cds so I can have a cool cd tower

😃at least for me!
I can see the benefits of vinyl, but they are very big- and vinyl players take up a lot of room! CDs are easier to store and display… because they’re compact! Hence the name, I guess.
Also you can buy cd walkmans. I used to have one as a child, but it broke and I had to get rid of it :( Hoping to get a new one at some point.

🎶I love listening and buying CD's as they're much more accessible/cheaper than vinyl but they are still kinda cool. Also a form of decor like I put them on my shelves

📀no hate to vinyls though, i just have a rlly small room where it can't fit a vinyl player (；′⌒`) i was huge on buying albums (kpop groups, bands, or other artists i generally liked) so i have a large catalogue of cd albums laying around our storage (can't play back then since our only cd/dvd player broke) BUT i've been listening to 'em nonstop when i got my first car (which has a cd player since it's an older model) and there is just something magical about popping in a cd for some reason...

an idealistic, yet highly inefficient form of face washing from a bygone era.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

🫂with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
