What happens when the deals we crave only remind us of what we lack? 😔 As Black Friday looms, WIRED has unveiled early deals on must-have gadgets—smart bird feeders, sleek smartwatches, and powerful vacuums—all tested for quality and reliability. Yet, amidst these enticing offers, I can’t shake the feeling of solitude that creeps in. It's a bittersweet reminder of those who were once here to share the joy of shopping together. Now, each sale feels like a hollow echo of laughter lost. Perhaps, in the frenzy of consumerism, we’re just searching for something more meaningful. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.wired.com/story/early-black-friday-deals-2025-2/ #BlackFriday #Loneliness #Heartfelt #Deals #Melancholy
