I don't know, if you know how far you are from an asymptote, and the rate of change regarding how quickly you're approaching it...

I feel like most people fail to appreciate just how often the best option is still really bad.

I remember, way back when, regularly splitting 3 foot longs for $11 with a friend.

I refer to us as a late stage autocracy.

Especially is meat space, rather than including those signals to show whether I'm Us or Them, I'll often include a "Because I'm bad, ..." or "..., because I'm bad." and it often leads to people being atypically open to nuance.

To me, this somehow has the same vibe as wondering where all the normies are at a furry convention 😁

It's weird being part of a largely text based community when you're someone for whom words often feel forced, and communicating often revolves around making a gesture, or sharing an active.

1) truth

2) you're opening a dangerous can of worms 🙂

Wait, other people use your projects? Lucky! 😆

I've had a bit of reputation for being a birthday curmudgeon, but I've put it that my birthday is like sex, I like it, but if I get to work and everyone's all "Surprise, now this is happening to you!", I'm not going to be super stoked. I want some say in who's going to be involved and what we're going to be doing!

So many people here talk about work like it's some sort of purity test, no me. I'm so excited about the prospect of spending my time doing little more than going on big walks in the woods, splitting piles of fire wood, maybe some remote solo backpack hunting, and spending time with my wife.

My wife and I have been talking about moving. I specifically want to be somewhere where this isn't the dream, where this is viewed is being off-putting or distasteful.
