It’s fine to change your mind. The world is to be understood through the lens of power and money, but that doesn’t mean that you have to agree with it. Assume good intentions. We’re all hypocrites to a certain extent and it’s okay. Be kind to yourself. You’re never too old to learn. Being right all the time gets you nowhere. It takes time to get good. Adopt a thankful mindset, even if you don’t believe in a higher power. Never give up. Say ‘yes’ more often. It’s your life and you’re in the driver’s seat. Live and let live. Worry less.

My take is that everything was worse back in the day, except for two things: climate change due to an unprecedented rate of global warming, and the ability to bomb ourselves out of existence with nuclear weapons, which simply did not exist before 1945. I worry about the first more than the second.

No city gives you that “crossroads of Europe” vibe like Vienna

There’s a lot of Nazi stuff on there. Hard pass.

I kinda like the French revolutionary calendar. It’s nature-themed and cute.

nicotine free since 2016, cocaine free since 2019. But I’ll keep my coffee.

One in ten year events have turned into one in two year events.

Kagi, Soundcloud, Bear.

Bear is so much better than Apple Notes.

I’m also seeing a lot of reasonable, even-handed takes on AI getting upvoted in that thread, tbh. The most downvoted comment is one saying that “AI is fascism”.
