Then again...

I'm sorry, my friend. You are... an original hipster.

Nah, that was MRAs.

Go for the gold and grow the full beard. When people accuse you of hipsterdom, blind them with the full force of your manliness.

That's a perfect way of describing it.

Seems like reasonable advice to me?

I still love reading physical books, but every once in a while I'll want to define an unfamiliar word and kind of sadly jab at the printed page with my index finger.

Here's a video of the landing:
