And, appropriately, the 15-yr-old director's commentary:

This is just a generalization of the feeling of isolation, not my personal feelings, I for sure haven't been enjoying quarantine, but some have it worse. We have all been going through stuff right now, especially with Black Lives Matter, my struggles are in no way comparable to some things people are going though right now. this is my own experience, some are a whole lot worse than mine. I'm just showing what I know.

This is a mini film, Numb by me. I did this for a school project but I'm really happy with how it came out, so I'm posting it here. This took me a combined 3 weeks or so. hope you enjoy! please feel free to share as much as you like, just please credit me and M83, the band who made the music.

Back in the late 80s when I first joined corporate life, I remember hearing lanyards and passes would soon be obsolete now that retinal scanning was possible. The future has failed to arrive!

Wait, how low do you wear your lanyard?

Tying a loop in the lanyard itself is knot a knoption?

I’m concerned where this forces security guards to look to check your credentials.

Just get a shorter lanyard cord, if you want a rainbow one like mine I can give you one

They're always annoying long. I always had to tuck them inside my shirt while working with clients.
