Offline activity suggestion: try to go as long as it's possible/safe for you without looking at your GPS, next time you're going somewhere. Or, easier mode: try navigating using a physical map and not your phone.

Whoops, already missed the first month 🫠 I'd like to say it's because I was very offline, but that only applied to the first half of February for me, alas.

Use this post for things that for whatever reason you feel don't warrant their own post, like:

• small vents about how every bar know wants you to scan a QR code for the drink list
• quick questions/requests for recs
• all barely on-topic chit chat

I've been trying to use my GPS less but the last time I didn't use it and ended up on the other side of town somehow despite the place I was at being literally a straight line from my house. I'm really not sure how it happened. What's weird is that I can navigate pretty well on foot but as soon as I'm in a car, all bets are off.

oof, i don't drive but i get lost like that when walking. i'm sure i'm one of those people who'd have a terrible sense of directions regardless of gps but one reason i've been trying to navigate without maps is that i'm sure i'm exacerbating the problem by always referencing.
