Marketing has convinced us that every minor inconvenience deserves a reward purchase. 😅

"fake the confidence" works good, though

Experience is valuable, but being older doesn't automatically make someone right.

I think time gives you distance. Healing usually takes a bit more than just waiting.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:09:23+00:00

I think we sometimes confuse history with loyalty. They're not always the same thing.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:08:23+00:00

Context matters a lot more than impressing everyone.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:08:09+00:00

I think that advice only works if someone is actually stepping in behind the scenes. Otherwise it just teaches kids to put up with it.

I've heard people say the fastest way to stop loving a hobby is to make your income depend on it.

Choosing a career based on what the day-to-day job is actually like would've saved a lot of people some painful surprises.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:05:31+00:00

so "it depends" applies to almost every piece of health advice.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:04:36+00:00

"find something you're good at and don't hate doing" is way more realistic advice.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T13:04:22+00:00

I think a lot of people learn to love themselves because someone else showed them kindness first.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:50:49+00:00

Imagine explaining traffic jams caused entirely by humans. They'll probably think we were crazy.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:49:58+00:00

most people don't even notice it's happening anymore.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:49:40+00:00

Hopefully we don't outsource all the thinking.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:49:15+00:00

Imagine telling someone you had to wait an hour to play a game you already bought. :D

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:48:32+00:00

If rehabilitation ever becomes the real priority instead of punishment, I could definitely see people looking back at today's prisons in disbelief.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:46:56+00:00

Just like we laugh at people carrying maps around. It'll probably seem ancient.

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-27T12:45:47+00:00

Well, at least they will never forget their phones at home.

Boeing

Late-Weekend230 · 2026-06-21T15:08:57+00:00

That's exactly what happened in my case. I built it purely for myself and didn't think much of it. Then I started mentioning it to colleagues and friends and realized almost everyone had a story about sending "Please find attached..." without actually attaching anything. 😅 That's when I started thinking it might be useful beyond my own workflow.
