        Exactly my thought. Looks pretty boring and not something I would consider sharing even if it was a single button push.

          Yeah, and 5 years ago, this would have at least been a somewhat interesting slice-of-life picture. Now it’s just bullshit. This could just as well be Mozart smoking a fat one at a McCleopatra’s in feudal China. It would be just as a meaningful.
