Trick is to go southern with it. Merge the last two vowel sounds into almost-one. Dub-ee-eh

Sitting is boring, emails are boring, not owning capital is boring. Religion is not, plants are not, sunlight is not. Building things is cool when they’re yours or your friends’. Kids are fun.

I feel like some guys tend to be wired to really enjoy the grind, but you have to get regular little indications towards progress, and kinda let yourself get ‘addicted’.

Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.

Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

  • those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
  • those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there’s way too much of the second group. We’re definitely getting what we pay for here.

Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.

Dopamine used to be considered the generic pleasure chemical, but I think it’s not anymore. Has more to do with reward pathways and learning, maybe?

Well that’s a fairly consistent pov. “God of the Gaps” is what it’s called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it’s probably not one of the worst ways to think
