Sorry, pet peeve of mine that comes up every tax season.
It’s reminding me that most people don’t see the forest for the trees.
Spindrift ruined it for me.
For me, this is a feature. The last thing I want is celebrities and news outlets clogging up my feed of nice people’s sandwiches and cat pictures.
I’ve made this cake a couple of times. It’s quite good.
What do you do for entertainment?
Mostly silence, but when I was in high school (some decades ago now) I had a CD of Mozart music I would put on while doing homework. I still associate Symphony 40 in G minor with grinding through tasks.
Stopped eating so damn much.
I read the The Hacker’s Diet by John Walker (who recently died, sadly) and followed his advice.
Leaded gasoline.
Instacart and Uber Eats, mostly.
Waiting out this winter’s covid surge living in the hot zone.
I haven’t left the house in months.
I was around pre-Internet, and it wasn’t any better. In fact, this “virtual world” has been a huge positive for me and has given me many opportunities to expand my social group and have a more fulfilling life. I don’t see the value in fetishizing disconnection.

Kind of a mix of well known science and tech stuff, and some out there things.
I flipped through and grabbed a few from different genres:
- Roderick on the Line
- Risky or Not?
- Penn’s Sunday School
- This Podcast Will Kill You
- Reconcilable Differences
- Accidental Tech Podcast
Zeiss wipes.
That, but I actually get a lot out of my hobbies and personal unfinished projects (they’re always a learning experience).
It’s more about the cost of struggling with things and thinking I’m lazy or a failure, and the real-world consequences of not having gotten any help until my late 40s.
I have ADHD.
Admitting you were wrong/made a mistake/can’t do something.
Related: changing your mind. The one thing that can still destroy any politician is the dreaded “flip-flop”. Yet the thing we most need them to do is to revise their position in the face of new information.
I think most of the problems in the world come down to some sort of bullshit posturing that (especially male) humans seem to be compelled to engage in.
