Hi there! Not much is happening on my end, how about you? Anything interesting going on in your life?

I can afford “good” beer… but sometimes I find myself drifting towards nostalgia.

No better way to decompress after work then having a crap ass beer in the garden!

My wife and I had one for a long time. We drove it until it became a 3 cylinder and the engine block deformed. It was in rough shape at the end, but it held on for dear life. We actually hated the car, but it wouldn’t die. We will also not own a tan vehicle again.

Haha, but why? Run it till it dies I say?

Both quality & quantity of high quality posts of all kinds (short text, long essays, pictures, audio & video) have improved dramatically on twitter platform.

Thank you for contributing your voice to humanity’s digital public square!

irrelevant because the smart phone has replaced the non-smart, can you even get a non-smart phone anymore?( rhetorical) doesn't matter. nonsmart is dead and is not coming back and good luck getting anyone off their smartphones.

you have no data. probably projecting. your anecdotal evidence is debatable. but I'm done here.

cheers, backatcha!

I'm intrigued...can you elaborate on that?

irrelevant.

the smartphone is a life saver. can't be denied. did you do thus study? why do you trust that study?

This morning I was running, as I often am, and I saw this man walking, which I often do. He typically doffs his cap and says, "Good morning, young lady," and I reply with a big smile and a "good morning" in return. But today he stopped and said, "I just want you to know, I've learned a lot from you about stoicism. Thank you. We don't have to talk more than this, but that's all you need to know. Peace."

I was surprised, replied with something dumb like "thank you," and then continued on my way, but I was touched. As I search for purpose for my time on Earth, and people keep saying that we underestimate the many small impacts we make on an everyday basis, to learn that I had somehow positively affected this man just through my regular routine without even knowing it was heartwarming.

I guess now I'd better go learn something about stoicism.
