if you don't watch a popular show just wait a few days after it's over and everyone will not only stop asking if you have seen it but they will forget about it altogether, having moved on to the new popular show they will ask you about instead

in the meantime just say 'i plan to watch it, no spoilers' and they'll leave you alone

are we finally done with ordinals now i hope?

there are books i would literally have paid hundreds of dollars for but that only cost me a few bucks

it used to be that only the clergy owned books, and most people were illiterate anyway

what a time to be alive

trying to build software humbles you hard

"One's reaction to those around us and to our environment is no small part of the meaning-making process. Emotionality and empathy prove that one is not spiritually stunted by sorrow, but rather, such feelings make one truly alive. A person with purpose is not a puppet."

what video game do you look back on most fondly and why?

"The human struggle to survive and thrive is the struggle to increase the amount and value of time we have on Earth, and it is inextricable from the need for work in the present. Survival and prosperity in the long run require work and sacrificing pleasure today, and that incentivizes the lowering of time preference. When man values the return of labor more than the disutility of sacrificing leisure, man will work.” #[0]

"ugh, i'm getting old" —someone who doesn't know they're ten years younger than me

i hear this self-fulfilling self talk from people almost weekly, and wouldn't you know:

they're all mildly miserable and out of shape and a current victim of something or other

Dr. Jack deserves more recognition. Game changing stuff re: long-term health

ever notice how graphic designers identify as being super creative but when it comes time to start a business and sell something it's almost always t-shirts?

another quality morning spent with you fine people in the nostr café

nostr went from "cool project" to "damn i am so glad this exists fr fr" in record time

to wit: twitter is fast devolving into a soupy dumpster fire

Naval has a lot of gems, ngl

"If you hurt other people because they have expectations of you, that’s their problem. If they have an agreement with you, it’s your problem. But, if they have an expectation of you, that’s completely their problem. It has nothing to do with you. They’re going to have lots of expectations out of life. The sooner you can dash their expectations, the better."

"To me, the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely, who don’t even play the game, who rise above it. Those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness, they need nothing from anybody else."
