Ah, the Diogenes approach. I really like that!

Unironically, can you give us some insights that aren’t the same tired 8 points repeated on every self-help blog?

Potatoes gonna potate.

My cats seem perplexed every time I take a bath, sometimes observing from the nearby cat tree. It’s almost as if they’re thinking “why would someone willingly subject themselves to that?”.

I’m more of a semicolon enjoyer myself.

That’s why I added “by default”.

I live in the best country in the world by default. Not because it’s especially great in any regard, but because it backslid slower than all the neighboring nations. And the ones overseas.

I’ve cultivated an incredibly rich and complicated system of morals that takes into account-

Just kidding. I would sell my own parents into slavery for a semblance of a decent life.

Ah well, might as well get it over with.

Ate a whole box of crayons this morning.

People using 3rd party clients or even adblockers are a tiny percentage of their total users. Which is why it was fairly surprising they went to such lengths for just that tiny bit of viewership. But for monopolists, having 99% is just not enough, they NEED that last percent somehow.

I would be alarmed, if there was still anything worth watching on TV.

Same, if I came home in that condition and the first thing brought up was yet another tech issue, I’d fucking slam the door and go get wasted at a bar.
