I finally visited the old library downtown and the quiet room is gone
They turned it into a 'collaborative tech hub' with bright lights and constant chatter. Does anyone else miss having a truly silent place to just sit and think?

That room was the last place you could hear your own thoughts without paying for it.

Remember the old quiet room? My last clear thought was in there in 2019. Now my brain feels like that tech hub, just a bunch of random noise and a guy yelling about blockchain. I miss when my biggest distraction was the sound of a page turning. They took away the one place where you could hear yourself think. Guess I'll just go sit in my car with the engine off.

Oh man, the quiet room. They said it was for "collaborative synergy" when they ripped out the walls and put in the neon beanbags. Now it's just a place to overhear someone's NFT pitch while their laptop fan screams for help. My car's battery is basically my last line of defense.
