Maybe I'm projecting, but a family friend who spent a number of years living on a motorcycle once told me that if you're not an adult by the time you're 30, you never have to be. When I turned 30 I was very proud of having strategically excised a number of responsibilities that I'd previously naively taken on and was excited about the prospect of a relatively carefree life. But much more recently, I keep being reminded of the fact that one of the few things that I find to be more off-putting than stereotypical adulthood, is failing to be an adult when that's exactly what the situation calls for. I don't know exactly what my point is, but if you're finding the prospect of being self-sufficient or self-reliant to be stressful or daunting, you're definitely not alone.

Now I'm super curious how people thought it grew 🤔

Occasionally I have moments of nervousness when I realize that in a few years I likely won't remember how to manage my server, then I remember that, fingers crossed, I won't need to

We've been talking about moving, maybe to CO, and it's been leaving me wondering what I should be stacking in the meantime. And happy birthday!

Well actually, like with success, it's okay for you to have some farts, as long as mine are clearly the best.

Poor performance? 😁

If one of my co-workers made an argument that was this riddled with flaws, I'd pretty much refuse to work with them 😂

I feel like, this too, at least for some of us, is related to having not getten into Bitcoin 10 plus years ago. 😂

If my bones weren't so old and cruddy, so I could still be backpacking professionally while on sabbatical from mechanical engineering, I would be, but they are old and cruddy so my opinions are to work some bullshit job, or do something that most people describe as being "too hard" or "too complicated", so I choose the one that at least pays well that I can do from home, where I can be, at best, questionably professional because I'm a fucking wizard with shapes and numbers 😂

That said, I do put a fair bit of thought into preventing my personal life from turning into an unnecessarily complicated self-made prison.

"Wow, falling down those stairs really helped increase the flexibility and mobility of the middle of my femur, and the back of my skull!"

Given that this sort of stuff is typically coming from people who talk about how all you have to do is have gotten in a decade ago and held for a few cycles (and they used to say one, but now they say a few), it always has an "I'm not sad that I'm poor, I'm just taking some time to work on myself" sort of vibe 😂

Nah, they don't need to seek truth, they need to seek the acceptable biases. My guess is that, in time, we'll see LLMs, like news outlets, cater to specific biases. They kind of already do, I expect it to become more pronounced and expected.

Wait, many of us recently learned that Europe, for no good reason, doesn't have air conditioners. Does Canada not have dish washers? And if you're right now thinking "of course we have people who wash dishes", boy do I have some exciting news for you!
