    That it was. It was (it still is I guess?) also one of those "life is much easier when you don't ask" things and I feel like that's one of the worst lessons to learn/philosophies to apply (even though I was the one who did it).

    2017 was actually not bad at all*, I think. In terms of years on the planet Earth.

    *well except for the freak weather incidents but those are definitely getting worse either way.

    I'm not very smart. I put too much spicy sauce on my food, which turns out to be very spicy, so I tried eating it slowly while drinking plenty of water, after a while I became dizzy at which point I remembered drinking too much water can be deadly.

    I guess I'll have to eat this very slowly.

    I guess I'll try it (with milk coffee), but for now I think I'll take a rest until I feel better.

    On unrelated news, I've begun writing my first 'serious' software, a program for drawing practice, for some reason I couldn't find any. It looks like crap but so far it's serving me well.

    doesn't it occur to you that you're basically asking people to come ruin the fact that it isn't "overbuilt into oblivion"?
  • Naas_HumanNaas_Human
    I think the title itself already sounds self-defeating, even before getting to specific examples.

    A lot of listicles about awesome things people don't know about are generally this.

    I considered getting rid of my smartphone and downgrading to a dumbphone but I would probably be lost without my GPS so I guess I'll just keep carrying around my mini-tablet.

    ^ I usually see stuff like that posted by self-described "libertarian", "pro-liberty", "anarcho-capitalist" or other such types fond of arguing that serfdom was actually quite fun. (Why would a proponent of personal liberty be fond of a system of forced servitude is a mystery to me too.)

    Our ancestors may not have been rich, but they had an abundance of leisure.

    I hate to be this guy but isn't "getting rich" the whole point of capitalism.

    Speaking of this whole concept of everybody working less than 200 days a year shakes me to my very core in a way that is dumb and I should really think about more.
    "anarcho-capitalist"

    what
    In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be operated by privately funded competitors
    personal and economic activities under anarcho-capitalism would be regulated by victim-based dispute resolution organizations under tort and contract law

    oh

    okay

    sure

    okay cool let's just let shit go wrong first and sort out the pieces later

    (this is why libertarianism sucks)

    Speaking of free time, although I've been more productive lately spending a few hours per day improving at something, I've still felt down by the fact that I could be doing even more. I wonder if it's one of those normalization things where one can never be satisfied.

    (Pssst, I'm still prepared to jump in in case I have to shit on socialism.)

    I think that's it, yeah. Otherwise you settle into the sort of complacency that leads to skipping out and then resetting to where you originally where.

    Lately I've been thinking about fashion and how if you insist on wearing lots of designer stuff you will start to look like either a gentrified gangster guy or a bland person who wears all the beige (though that's not beige's fault).

    Unless you're willing to go out in (and pay for) this.

    It's really hard to hate fast fashion places when they have such awesome ridiculous variety in stuff in terms of colour and style.

    This is why you should always prioritize buying things on the internet over important essential items.

    It's hilarious that the one time a company tried to voluntarily reduce it's products sugar levels they were met with consumer revolt.

    Ehh, I'd be inclined to agree with the objection, on the basis of objecting to artificial sweeteners.

    Meanwhile in Poland: black metal musician faces two years in jail accused of defaming the national coat of arms.

    I'll post the defamation in images (link).

    Apparently Joan of Arc and Sherlock Holmes have the same birthday.

    This probably doesn't mean anything to anyone.

    That line of dead pixels I've talked about sometimes causes interesting misreads, for instance I read the above as "Jorge Luis Borges and Indiana Jones were porn the same year".
