Relevant XKCD
and I find it actually worrysome that a maintainer has to spend their evening working on lemmy rather than having fun. (And also kinda worrysome that they're forced to go to a prom)
Screw these other people saying this is sad. This is awesome! I spent many a Friday night at home programming or gaming and told my friends my parents wouldn't let me go out. You get to go to prom with your friends and geek out, fucking perfect.
That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they'll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.
I hope whatever they were doing didn't take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3
Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It's fun, I liked going, but after high school it's pretty meaningless.
