It is sometimes referred to as the rush hour of life.

Sure, simplicity is great. At the same time, the comment was about parenting and how, once you have a couple extra mouths to feed at your table, experience shows, that ones life tends to become more occupied and thus busier. This is care work, not that bullshit busy work you are talking about. There is a difference.

I turned eighteen in the year 2000 and yes, we were aware that burning gas sucked and that capitalism was a shitty idea, at least in this variety and that we, white kids in Western Europe had privileges. The nineties were the decade in which the Nazi grandchildren turned up in our streets and burn refugee homes. So nationalism was also visible again.

At the same time, yeah, hedonism was awesome. Raves, electronic music, computers and action movies coming into full bloom. At least the western countries could party for a moment. But the bill was already pretty high.

It was just that no one had written the check yet. That undeniably happened in the last 10 years. Which sucks. Definitely. And at the same time, it was about time.

And I see my kids today and they have their things, culture, music, mannerisms, widgets and references and it’s fun. Yes the world sucks more urgent and I really did like to eat snow and there is none now. But life goes on and those kids from today will build their own stories and we millennials are the old guys in those story. Until the circle of life beats their ass when it’s their turn to turn 40.

The condescending part is that the reviewer understood how the method worked, but asked to have it explained to them again anyhow. That is dishonest.

That is why the suggested rephrasing was to say: I had a hard time understanding how the method worked. How about renaming it?

I wanted to try Arc, but somehow can’t get past the login screen. Support from them has not been very responsive yet.

It’s okay. I like the vertical tabs. Sadly, extensions are buggy and I can’t get Vue Dev Tools to run, which is needed for work.

Kagi search is really nice though. Switched to usit exclusively.

Sure, I wasn’t saying Astro is for every use case. Like, no tool ever is.

Maybe I am not understanding completely what you are missing, but there is an SPA integration that gives you instant navigation. It also features pre-fetching, so it’s not limited to already visited pages.

This book should be required reading in school. I read it when I was around 18 and it vaccinated me profoundly for all things entertainment industry, be it video games, TV or social media. I partake, but there always comes a point where I get that Clockwork Orange gag reaction at some point and am driven away.

And yes, this site is of quality content, but it is still the same opiate.

The other comment was about disregarding reality, not about wanting to die.

Most people don’t want to die tomorrow, at the same time we need to come to terms with the fact that we age and that our time is ultimately limited.

Which is an objective reality.

As I grow older, I am discovering that life has different chapters. Each with their benefits and challenges. The other comment is talking about us as a society failing to integrate and value each chapter and instead focusing on youth and youth alone. There is nothing desirable in age for western societies (probably others too, I just don’t know enough).

Steven Pressfield summed this up for me in his book The War Of Art.

It’s basically that distinction between a Pro and an Amateur that you are making. The Pro sits down and does the work, the Amateur waits till they feel like it.

Where’s the blues mobile?

I traded it in for a microphone.

Oh, okay.
