    Is my reading comprehension in the toilet or was that a paragraph of non sequiturs?

      He’s writing about real life, and not everything in real life is neatly ordered.

      Yes, he could do a lot of his tasks online, but that would mean giving up the random pleasures he enjoys by going out and interacting with the world.

      edit = He could have just said “I would rather do things offline. I still enjoy being outside.”

      Instead, he chose to meander.

        Oooh I see it now. I think what threw me off was my confusion about putting envelopes in a closet. So when the rest of the paragraph had nothing to do with that my brain just blue screened.
