I was talking about 'us', the ordinary lot.

Hey, I've been dealing with "inclusion" for over 20 years, I've worked my arse off for it. Don't throw it all away now... ;-D

I was missing you already.

I was always present...
Submit to me the perfect schedule of how I can make all those whose posts I read happy with meaningful (!) comments and I will implement it... ;-)

We don't have coffee or tea brewing machines here either

It feels like everyone here now has one of these ultra-modern machines that serves you at least 10 types of coffee. The kind of thing you used to only know from very good cafés. Strange development.

It's truly liberating!

Above all communicative. You can maintain eye contact during a conversation and don't have to keep looking at the device. Meanwhile, my brain gets very confused if I don't focus. A few years ago, I was much better at multitasking and laughed or rolled my eyes at my much older husband... ;-)
